Illinois Gun Rights at Risk

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,760
Music.

2
00:00:15,603 --> 00:00:19,983
Hey, welcome to another episode of The Hammer Drops. I'm your host, Layak.

3
00:00:20,643 --> 00:00:25,743
Today, on this Saturday episode of the show, we're not going to talk about Joe Biden.

4
00:00:25,843 --> 00:00:29,803
We're not going to talk about the fact that his State of the Union address was

5
00:00:29,803 --> 00:00:31,243
nothing but lies and propaganda.

6
00:00:31,643 --> 00:00:35,503
We won't even talk about the fact that he's trying to sit there and say that

7
00:00:35,503 --> 00:00:43,263
Trump had a 30% increase in murders under him when he was on his last year of presidency,

8
00:00:43,683 --> 00:00:49,543
which those numbers Joe Biden got from the CDC, and that raises questions there

9
00:00:49,543 --> 00:00:52,183
all on its own. We're not going to talk about that.

10
00:00:52,703 --> 00:00:55,603
And you're probably like, what? I'm not going to talk about it.

11
00:00:56,443 --> 00:00:59,723
This is what we're going to talk about today. Today, one of our listeners sent

12
00:00:59,723 --> 00:01:02,363
us over some information about HB 3239,

13
00:01:02,683 --> 00:01:08,503
which directly affects any legal gun owner in the state of Illinois or anybody

14
00:01:08,503 --> 00:01:12,703
that legally wants to be able to purchase a gun in the state of Illinois.

15
00:01:13,223 --> 00:01:19,863
It's got a lot of implications because it's essentially, with this bill,

16
00:01:20,043 --> 00:01:25,883
it's almost like it's going to take away the right to be able to own a firearm.

17
00:01:26,603 --> 00:01:33,903
And it's starting up its own registry, which we were all against for the longest time.

18
00:01:34,063 --> 00:01:37,763
Remember when Missouri tried to do that? that, you know, the FBI was trying

19
00:01:37,763 --> 00:01:40,043
to do a registry and they want to know where all the guns are at.

20
00:01:40,163 --> 00:01:42,923
Well, the state of Illinois, if this bill passes, guess what?

21
00:01:42,983 --> 00:01:46,663
The state of Illinois, whether you want to or not, they're going to know where

22
00:01:46,663 --> 00:01:49,063
your guns are. And we're going to get into that.

23
00:01:49,943 --> 00:01:54,083
Also, we're going to put, I'm going to point out some interesting things because

24
00:01:54,083 --> 00:02:03,083
another state has done this already and it's not going well for them either.

25
00:02:03,683 --> 00:02:08,983
So let's get into this bill. bill. Okay. And I'm going to read the whole kind

26
00:02:08,983 --> 00:02:10,803
of the summary of the, the bill.

27
00:02:11,787 --> 00:02:15,587
And what it is, and then we're going to get into the meanings behind it.

28
00:02:15,667 --> 00:02:19,167
But pay attention to what I'm reading.

29
00:02:19,307 --> 00:02:24,567
And if you want to read it yourself, just do a search HB 3239.

30
00:02:24,947 --> 00:02:27,227
You'll pop it up, and you can be able to read it.

31
00:02:27,627 --> 00:02:35,647
So basically, what this bill is saying, okay, it amends the FOID Act, the FOID Card Act.

32
00:02:35,647 --> 00:02:43,247
It provides that if an applicant is applying for or renewing a FOID card,

33
00:02:43,427 --> 00:02:47,567
he or she must submit evidence to the state of Illinois,

34
00:02:47,847 --> 00:02:53,047
state of Illinois State Police, that he or she completed at least eight hours

35
00:02:53,047 --> 00:02:58,227
of handgun safety training approved by the director of the state of the Illinois State Police.

36
00:02:58,707 --> 00:03:01,907
Now, this sounds all fine and dandy like you would agree to it,

37
00:03:01,987 --> 00:03:03,847
but you'll understand here.

38
00:03:03,847 --> 00:03:10,547
Okay, so it also provides that notwithstanding any other law to the contrary,

39
00:03:10,807 --> 00:03:13,807
each local law enforcement agency

40
00:03:13,807 --> 00:03:17,427
shall issue a firearm permit to an

41
00:03:17,427 --> 00:03:24,607
applicant who seeks the purchase of a firearm to verify the identity of the

42
00:03:24,607 --> 00:03:30,407
purchaser and shall complete a full criminal background check of the applicant

43
00:03:30,407 --> 00:03:34,847
that includes obtaining fingerprints from the prospective firearm purchaser.

44
00:03:35,047 --> 00:03:40,887
It also provides that each local law enforcement agency shall keep records of

45
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:44,747
those permits and make them available to the Illinois State Police through law

46
00:03:44,747 --> 00:03:46,587
enforcement agency data systems.

47
00:03:47,047 --> 00:03:55,367
It also provides that the duration of the permit shall be 10 days after its issuance.

48
00:03:55,647 --> 00:04:01,147
Provides that local law enforcement agencies may deny a permit to purchase a

49
00:04:01,147 --> 00:04:07,307
firearm to an applicant of the agency and its discretion believes it is in the

50
00:04:07,307 --> 00:04:15,087
interest of public safety amends the criminal code of 2012 to make conforming changes. So.

51
00:04:16,135 --> 00:04:19,635
It may sound good, but here's what is actually going on.

52
00:04:20,535 --> 00:04:23,355
So for all those that live in Illinois that has a FOID card,

53
00:04:23,415 --> 00:04:28,635
which we're one of two states that you are required to have a FOID card.

54
00:04:28,855 --> 00:04:31,695
A FOID card, you have to do a background check.

55
00:04:31,815 --> 00:04:34,575
They do a background check on you, and as long as you pass everything,

56
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:38,455
they issue you a FOID card to be able to buy a firearm.

57
00:04:39,095 --> 00:04:44,315
Well, now you got to go through that. And then if you want to buy a gun before

58
00:04:44,315 --> 00:04:48,015
you can even think about buying a gun, you have to show that you took that eight

59
00:04:48,015 --> 00:04:52,375
hour class, which sounds or, you know, when you renew, take the eight hour class.

60
00:04:52,375 --> 00:04:55,475
Sounds all fine and dandy until, lo and behold,

61
00:04:55,775 --> 00:05:02,875
the only places you can go for those said classes are at police stations,

62
00:05:03,135 --> 00:05:08,515
which they're already being deemed funded and overworked and don't have the time.

63
00:05:09,475 --> 00:05:14,015
So they're essentially going to eliminate the middle person for those classes.

64
00:05:14,535 --> 00:05:18,555
And we're going to get into that a little bit more. So then you're not going

65
00:05:18,555 --> 00:05:22,395
to be able to show that you took those eight hours. So then you're not going to get this permit.

66
00:05:22,495 --> 00:05:25,975
And if for some reason you are able to get this permit through going to your

67
00:05:25,975 --> 00:05:30,055
local police department, if for any reason, like said there,

68
00:05:30,155 --> 00:05:34,315
they think that it's not in the best interest, they can deny it.

69
00:05:34,715 --> 00:05:40,635
Or if they give one to you, you also now have to go through another background check.

70
00:05:40,635 --> 00:05:43,655
Check so that's two background checks before you

71
00:05:43,655 --> 00:05:47,075
can even walk into the doors of a

72
00:05:47,075 --> 00:05:50,475
gun store and purchase a gun at all

73
00:05:50,475 --> 00:05:55,115
because now you need that permit okay so say you make it that far you get the

74
00:05:55,115 --> 00:06:01,775
permit all that stuff you have 10 days to essentially shop around find what

75
00:06:01,775 --> 00:06:05,895
gun you want the gun store all that stuff so you have to do this within 10 days

76
00:06:05,895 --> 00:06:09,515
if you don't if he goes beyond Beyond 10 days, well,

77
00:06:09,615 --> 00:06:12,335
now you have to redo it all over again. So now you're back to square one.

78
00:06:13,315 --> 00:06:15,535
So now you find the gun, you're at the gun store.

79
00:06:16,715 --> 00:06:23,575
Now you have to go through yet another background check to be able to buy a gun.

80
00:06:24,095 --> 00:06:29,195
Once you go through that, the store is now required and you are now required

81
00:06:29,195 --> 00:06:34,735
to give that information to your local police department of what kind of gun you bought.

82
00:06:34,735 --> 00:06:41,235
Bought, all the registration information for that gun will now be in the system,

83
00:06:41,335 --> 00:06:45,455
which is what they wanted the whole time. But here's the kicker, folks.

84
00:06:45,935 --> 00:06:50,735
The state of California has a similar, well, actually the same thing going on over there.

85
00:06:51,215 --> 00:06:56,535
The problem with the state of California is they took out the middleman as well.

86
00:06:56,975 --> 00:07:01,115
So now the only place that you can go and get these said permits to be able

87
00:07:01,115 --> 00:07:07,655
to continue with the process of being able to buy a firearm is to find a police

88
00:07:07,655 --> 00:07:10,895
department that you can go take this class.

89
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,520
And be able to purchase a gun, be able to move on to that next level.

90
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:23,440
Problem is, like the state of California, they've been defunded, overworked.

91
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,480
They don't have the resources to be able to do these classes.

92
00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:32,760
So therefore, the law-abiding citizen that wants to buy a gun to be able to

93
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:40,180
protect themselves, go hunting, whatever, can now no longer do that because you can't get the class.

94
00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:43,000
This is just a way

95
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
for them to take away your your

96
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,300
constitutional right to have a firearm not only i mean the state of illinois

97
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:56,900
is so bad we already have strict gun laws here but and now we have an assault

98
00:07:56,900 --> 00:08:01,980
rifle ban and all this other stuff i mean they're literally doing everything

99
00:08:01,980 --> 00:08:05,900
and anything that they can to take your second amendment rights away way.

100
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:11,600
So this bill goes up on March 12th at 4 p.m.

101
00:08:11,860 --> 00:08:16,240
For a vote. And chances are pretty good because everybody knows the state of

102
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,880
Illinois is so goddamn corrupted with J.B. Pritzker and all the rest of the

103
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,620
Democrats down there. This bill is going to pass.

104
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:27,700
And I know there's a lot of law abiding citizens that have firearms right now

105
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:35,200
that aren't going with the whole registry that the state state of Illinois currently wants.

106
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:38,700
And this way, now they have to.

107
00:08:39,340 --> 00:08:43,880
You own a gun, it's going to be registered. So now your government,

108
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:49,540
and this is huge government overreach, is going to know everything that you own.

109
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:54,340
So now if you own too many guns, guess what? You're going to have a knock on

110
00:08:54,340 --> 00:08:56,980
your door saying, we have a problem.

111
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,720
Or say if somebody at the police department doesn't don't agree with you.

112
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,080
They know that you're a conservative or whatever, that you don't support their

113
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,580
chief of police or the county sheriff.

114
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:18,180
They can deny you for any reason that they want and just label it as it's the

115
00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:21,940
best interest of public safety that you do not get a firearm,

116
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:23,460
that you do not get this permit.

117
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,060
You see what's happening here, folks? Folks, as you're sleeping,

118
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,520
they are literally continuing to work on to take your gun rights.

119
00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:40,920
Now, if you've seen Illinois and the crime has how it's risen in Chicago,

120
00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:44,260
all around Chicago, the suburbs, all of it.

121
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,580
We have the migrant problem.

122
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:55,540
They're causing nothing but crime and havoc and all that. That you have people

123
00:09:55,540 --> 00:10:01,280
in broad daylight being held up on the streets for all their stuff.

124
00:10:01,780 --> 00:10:04,960
And yet we have these strict gun laws.

125
00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:10,840
But if you're a criminal, it's okay. You're going to be fine.

126
00:10:12,130 --> 00:10:16,370
This is what happens, and this is why voting is so important,

127
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:22,570
because who you vote for is why this is happening.

128
00:10:22,570 --> 00:10:28,530
So for those good people over there in West Chicago who decided that they wanted

129
00:10:28,530 --> 00:10:33,570
to elect Maura Hirschauer, which is a Democrat,

130
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:41,210
her district office is at 946 Nelknor Boulevard, number 104,

131
00:10:41,550 --> 00:10:45,030
West Chicago, Illinois, 60185.

132
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:52,230
Her phone number for her office is area code 331-465-9661.

133
00:10:52,570 --> 00:10:56,230
Make sure if you're listening to this and you live in the state of Illinois,

134
00:10:56,390 --> 00:11:02,690
that you call before March 12th to let her know your displeasure with this bill

135
00:11:02,690 --> 00:11:04,630
that she is trying to get passed.

136
00:11:05,090 --> 00:11:13,390
Make sure that you contact all your local representatives to express that you

137
00:11:13,390 --> 00:11:15,650
do not want this bill at all.

138
00:11:16,210 --> 00:11:19,810
Because if we don't, folks, this bill will pass.

139
00:11:20,510 --> 00:11:25,110
Our gun rights will be taken away very, very slowly. They will be just eroding

140
00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:26,550
in front of your very eyes.

141
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,750
And there's not a fucking thing you can do about it.

142
00:11:29,550 --> 00:11:34,070
And here's the thing. Over in California, like I said, this is happening over there.

143
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:40,070
They don't have the funding. They don't have the manpower to be able to,

144
00:11:40,070 --> 00:11:42,330
you know, for the police to be able to have these classes.

145
00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:44,810
And that is exactly what's happening here in Illinois.

146
00:11:45,650 --> 00:11:48,130
The whole defund the police thing, and now let's usher in this.

147
00:11:48,250 --> 00:11:49,610
You starting to connect the dots?

148
00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:57,010
I mean, they all say we're conspiracy theorists all along, ever since Joe Biden took fucking office.

149
00:11:57,610 --> 00:12:00,570
It's all conspiracy. It's all conspiracy theories. It's this and that,

150
00:12:00,670 --> 00:12:05,870
but every conspiracy theory or every theory that we have had has come to fruition,

151
00:12:06,110 --> 00:12:09,590
come to light, and this is no different.

152
00:12:10,190 --> 00:12:15,810
They've been actively trying to take our guns for a very long time to push their agenda.

153
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:20,110
Do you realize the only thing that is protecting our sovereignty,

154
00:12:20,330 --> 00:12:25,170
our constitutional republic, is our right to bear arms, to protect ourselves

155
00:12:25,170 --> 00:12:30,550
against our government if we so have to?

156
00:12:31,150 --> 00:12:35,050
You know why there's no other country that has invaded the United States yet?

157
00:12:35,170 --> 00:12:38,410
It's because we have the right to own firearms.

158
00:12:38,790 --> 00:12:40,650
And they're literally taking it away.

159
00:12:41,170 --> 00:12:46,270
Gavin Newsom over there in California, Mr. Buddy Buddy with Xi Jinping over there in China.

160
00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:53,530
China would love for us not to have our gun rights because without our gun rights,

161
00:12:54,330 --> 00:12:55,470
anybody can come in and take over.

162
00:12:56,772 --> 00:12:59,632
That's reality, folks. That's what's happening right now.

163
00:13:00,532 --> 00:13:07,432
I urge you, if you voted Democrat, you might want to change your tune. Do your homework.

164
00:13:07,892 --> 00:13:14,192
Look at what they're doing. Everything that they do is to have more government

165
00:13:14,192 --> 00:13:17,232
control and take away from its citizens.

166
00:13:17,692 --> 00:13:22,672
I mean, hell, the state of Illinois, Governor Pritzker feels that taking 1%

167
00:13:22,672 --> 00:13:28,472
tax off the groceries is good for the Illinois people,

168
00:13:28,692 --> 00:13:33,312
whereas we're going to tax the shit out of you when you want to put gas in your

169
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:38,672
car so you can drive to the grocery store or you can drive to work to make money.

170
00:13:39,352 --> 00:13:44,872
Not to mention, with the state of Illinois, heaven forbid if they owe you money

171
00:13:44,872 --> 00:13:47,452
in taxes, you'll never fucking see it.

172
00:13:47,512 --> 00:13:50,952
Or they'll take forever to give you your money and you have to jump through

173
00:13:50,952 --> 00:13:53,732
hoops each and every fucking time to get your money.

174
00:13:54,212 --> 00:13:58,672
Even though the taxation that they do is highly illegal.

175
00:13:59,612 --> 00:14:05,532
Wake up, folks. I hope that this episode, as though it may be shorter than my

176
00:14:05,532 --> 00:14:12,132
normal ones, I hope this episode opens your eyes to what they're actually trying to do.

177
00:14:12,472 --> 00:14:19,012
They're trying to disarm us for a reason. And everybody out there thinks it's a conspiracy.

178
00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:25,592
Joe Biden, the Democrat Party, do not have your best interests in mind.

179
00:14:26,552 --> 00:14:30,572
They don't. They want more control. They want you to depend on the government.

180
00:14:30,572 --> 00:14:35,352
Government whereas republicans and conservatives want less government and more

181
00:14:35,352 --> 00:14:43,632
control back to it the people which is how it should be but unfortunately too many people are easily.

182
00:14:45,772 --> 00:14:50,612
Yeah just easily i i can't even think of the word right now this because this

183
00:14:50,612 --> 00:14:56,952
has me just so fucking aggravated right now with with this bill because it's

184
00:14:56,952 --> 00:15:01,692
literally gonna put the a nail in the coffin to the great people of Illinois,

185
00:15:01,972 --> 00:15:07,452
especially if you ever want to own a gun here, but leave it up to J.B.

186
00:15:07,452 --> 00:15:12,852
Pritzker and the Democrats for many people leaving the state of Illinois.

187
00:15:13,312 --> 00:15:18,712
I guess U-Haul, Penske and all them are going to be making quite a bit of money

188
00:15:18,712 --> 00:15:24,072
here soon because not many people in Illinois, law-abiding gun owners are going

189
00:15:24,072 --> 00:15:26,312
to want to stay here because of this now.

190
00:15:26,312 --> 00:15:32,092
But don't you worry, folks, because with every family and every person that

191
00:15:32,092 --> 00:15:36,712
leaves the state of Illinois, you can count on your governor and the Democrats

192
00:15:36,712 --> 00:15:41,172
to bring in more illegal migrants with more sickness,

193
00:15:41,432 --> 00:15:44,532
more disease to take your place.

194
00:15:45,907 --> 00:15:50,107
Yes. So with that said, that's where I'm going to end it for this episode.

195
00:15:50,407 --> 00:15:58,127
Folks, if you're irate with this bill, go check it out on the Illinois General Assembly website.

196
00:15:59,207 --> 00:16:03,947
Again, it is Bill HB 3239.

197
00:16:04,427 --> 00:16:09,107
Make sure you call that representative up and call your representatives to let

198
00:16:09,107 --> 00:16:16,287
them know your displeasure of this bill. Bill, let your voice be heard. It needs to be heard now.

199
00:16:17,047 --> 00:16:20,287
With that, that's where we're going to call it for today, folks.

200
00:16:20,407 --> 00:16:22,307
I hope you guys have a great rest of your weekend.

201
00:16:22,507 --> 00:16:27,167
We'll be back Monday or Tuesday next week for another episode.

202
00:16:27,887 --> 00:16:32,847
And always remember, as I close out every show, close our borders,

203
00:16:33,047 --> 00:16:38,067
save America, fuck Ukraine, fuck Joe Biden.

204
00:16:38,067 --> 00:16:45,147
And for god damn it with this fuck jb pritzker and the democrats of illinois.

205
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:59,301
Music.
