FOID Cards Ruled Unconstitutional

[Dagobert II]

and...

Local law enforcement agencies and gun shops in Illinois say they did not receive any bump stocks from gun owners as of Tuesday, the day a federal ban on the attachments that allow shooters to continuously fire semiautomatic rifles took effect.
Following a ruling from the Justice Department in December which classified weapons equipped with bump stocks as machine guns, owners were given 90 days to turn them into a local law enforcement agency, a federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives field office or destroy them.
But none of the law enforcement agencies contacted by The Pantagraph had seen any as of Tuesday. Several gun shops also were contacted because they often are used as places to buy, sell or trade firearms and equipment.

A problem on the horizon -

The Constitution protects a citizen's right to keep and bear arms.

I can see a future with National ID cards, probably with biometric information required. Hell, they may even be "chipped" to allow 24/7 tracking. Maybe they will require citizens be "chipped", with medical records, of course, to prevent identity theft, and to provide for "privacy" guarantees.

Big Brother IS watching, and we are letting him - all in the guise of "national security". We allowed it with the Patriot Act, and it continues to expand.

Watch "V for Vendetta" (my favorite modern movie). It is all coming true.

Guess the illegals will be the only chip free citizens... Oh, they will be illegal, but the lefties will forget that first part and just refer to them as citizens.

What problems do you see with the Patroit act?

The government can spy on whom they want, when they want, for little, if any reason other than a vague suspicion. The NSA has gathered all of our data, and can look at whatever they want to. You can be interrogated without counsel if you are suspected of being a terrorist. On and on. It is an affront to the average US citizen. It IS Big Brother.

Bring on the RFID chips. Most of us already have the means to destroy them in our kitchens.

Some school districts have already tried the chips in student IDs. Those "experiments" haven't turned out very well.

This youngster needs to go back to his basic electronics class. 1000 vdc + accross that coil means nothing. It would be interesting to see the strength of the EMP created by the coil. My guess it's minimal and I doubt that it would effectively neutralize an RFID chip even if the chip were placed inside the coil.
