Anti-Gunner: “You don’t need an AR-15 and high-capacity magazines to hunt deer”

Anti-Gunner:” Wait….what?….  Motherfu**er you have to be kidding me!”

Being in South Florida where you have a heavy population of immigrants who English is not their native language, you will see plenty of public facilities offering classes very cheap and sometimes for free.
I got this oversized postcard in the mail.

Now, remember, this is for people to learn English, people who do not know the language. Yet it came printed in English rather than Spanish or Creole, the two most popular non-native languages in South Florida.
Kinda dumb, right?
Then again, if you care to look at the sender, you will understand.

I had found out that Gary Martin was a felon and therefore any firearm possession was against the law, both in Illinois and at a Federal level. What came as a surprise was that he had passed the much celebrated (and held as standard by Anti Gunners) Illinois Firearms Owner Identification process with a felony conviction on him plus many other arrests.

The excuses fabrications began to fly.

Now, she ain’t your typical ignorant Liberal bimbo, she is a lawyer that used to work for the government.

Illinois FOID does run a background check and even continues to run more after the issuance of the card according to the Chicago Tribune.

Before issuing a FOID card, the Illinois State Police runs the name through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System or NICS, an electronic database maintained by the FBI, to determine if an applicant has a criminal record or other violations that make him ineligible to own a firearm.

Once the card is issued, the State Police reruns each cardholder through the FBI system every 24 hours and revokes the card of anyone who has incurred a recent infraction.

Background checks for guns are the norm in Illinois

The interesting part is that when Gary (asshole) Martin went to get his concealed carry license after he bought a gun, the background check was performed and it was denied because his previous conviction popped up. I might be wrong but the FOID section and te CCL section although different departments are both run by the Illinois State Police. How come one found the felony conviction and the other one did not? His CCL application was denied, his FOID card was suspended and he was ordered to surrender his weapon.
He never did.
And the best part: All of this happened in 2014.

This is a low-hanging-fruit-type of arrest. felon in possession of a gun and applying for a CCL? I wish I could get a scratch-off ticket that assured of a win. But yet, the Illinois State Police did not go after Martin, why? Big speculation on my part, but maybe face needed to be saved? The much touted as example FOID needed to be protected from besmirching?   Or maybe whomever ran the failed BG check or gave approval to the FOID cashed in a big ass favor? All of the above?  No idea, but the inaction came back to kill 5 innocent people.

Democrats in Congress are trying to sell the idea that Universal Background Checks as the new panacea, the “This time is for sure” will be able to end Gun Violence and Illinois’s FOID was a big part of examples they always use.  That is no good and we need to keep reminding people of its tragic failure.

And before I go, I do call your attention to the irony of Illinois fighting for so many years against Concealed Carry and it was the reason Martin was found to be a Felon. Sad that they did not act upon it.

First was Apple products, now J. Kb. got blacklisted and unable to post… LOL

Trying to get him back in.

This happened in California:

And guess who jumped at the occasion to claim we need more gun control?

Nobody was shot + there were no guns present and misused + some pansy ass created a false alarm = WE NEED MOAR GUN CONTROL!!! (Don’t forget to send donation)

That sums it up.
