ALERT!!! COOK COUNTY, IL "County Sheriff's teams are performing door-to-door gun confiscation"

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


COOK COUNTY, IL — In an act of defiance to the constitution, Cook County Sheriff’s teams are performing door-to-door gun confiscation on residents who have had their state permission slip, called an FOID card, revoked.

Sheriff Tom Dart is sending his Seizure Teams to more than 3,000 households. The teams show up in force at each household and demand that they turn over all of their privately-owned firearms to the state. The seizure teams also confiscate the permission slips.

The point that seems to be lost on people is that all people have certain inalienable rights, including the right to bear arms and protect your family. The state has no legitimate authority to tell people what pieces of property that they may not own.

The Bill of Rights is not a benefits package that only applies to some people and not others. Either we honor them for everyone, or they are simply privileges doled out by the government. Don’t be surprised when you end up on the ‘list’ of people who don’t deserve rights.

What you are seeing is a criminal act performed by the government, violating the supreme law of the land, the constitution. “The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” means exactly that.

“Hitler did the same thing! he made people register their firearms and then later on he confiscated their guns and the people that didn’t give up their firearms the government of Nazi Germany knew were to look because they already had a list of registered firearms! AMERICA WHEN THEY RAID AMERICANS HOMES LIKE THIS AND GO AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION THEY ARE CROSSING THE LINE! LET THEM KNOW WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS!!”

      Do not wait for THEM to show up. If you want this stopped the Illinois militia needs to band together and go take THEIR weapons FIRST. It will take a PROACTIVE (not reactive) armed rebellion to stop this. United we stand…divided we fall. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Cook County victims of this atrocity.

      • Richnjsouth

        I agree. But what they are doing is a piecemeal attack on citizens. They pull this crap when we are not even thinking about it. They randomly select a community and attack various households. It is arbitrary and illegal. The problem is when a SWAT team attacks your house at 2AM with a couple dozen cops, you are caught off guard. Also they pilfer and steal weapons during disasters, hurricanes etc and literally loot homes of weapons. The problem these cops are going to have is that they will be distrusted, become targets and receive no assistance from a disgruntled population. These kind of stories need to make national news, beyond these blogs and internet sights. Also any body “banding” together for any cause to preserve individual rights has to do it quietly and and without the “facebook”, internet spied upon means. Old snail mail, land phone lines and backyard BBQ meetings are more “secure”.

Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

      They say they are protecting the public. In that region, sadly, most people bow to the tyrant gov like servants. Gov corruption, fees for everything, and taxation rates are through the clouds. They have some things that need fixing. More info on this story is here:

      Can Americans be trusted with guns? The leading cause of death amongst under-fives in the USA is gunshot. The second amendment refers to militia groups, not individuals. And if your licence has expired then your gun will rightly be confiscated.

      • Truthseeker

        anonymous —- get a brain

        One liberal lies and another swears to it — then it is truth.

        The leading cause of death among kids is not guns, guns kill less then 350 per year

        But swimming pools kill 25,000 per year as Per the book “Freakonmics”i

        The total killed in America by guns each year is around 30,000
        more then Half of the 30,000 are suicides.
        police kill around 8 to 10,000
        Self defense kills over 3000 criminals each year

        Doctors kill 90,000 each year by not washing their hands

        This is not about safety, its about making us slaves

        If you can not defend yourself you are not free.

        Supreme Court affirms fundamental right to bear arms

        By Robert Barnes and Dan Eggen
        Washington Post Staff Writer
        Tuesday, June 29, 2010

        The Second Amendment provides Americans a fundamental right to bear arms that cannot be violated by state and local governments, the Supreme Court ruled Monday in a long-sought victory for gun rights advocates.

        The decision extended the court’s 2008 ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller that “the Second Amendment protects a personal right to keep and bear arms for lawful purposes, most notably for self-defense within the home.” That decision applied only to federal laws and federal enclaves such as Washington; it was the first time the court had said there was an individual right to gun ownership rather than one related to military service.

      • LAYNALAND

        your statistic is sadly nullified, when you examine the statistics of ILLINOIS – A GUN CONTROL STATE…which has the most crime and deaths by gun in all of America.
        You need to post your little statistic link here for us to examine, not just quote your little statistic for us.
        The one I quoted is known widely…so, no need to do so.
        American SHOULD NOT TRUST THEIR GOVT. THE MILITARY & THE POLICE TO HAVE THE ‘ONLY GUNS’ IN AMERICA.
        That is how DICTATORSHIPS COME TO BEING.
        People are not inherently good, they are inherently ‘fallen creatures’.
        For that reason alone…we are not to trust those elected over us or those who police us, til they have proven who they are, by their CONDUCT.
        I fear, it is too late, to restore this REPUBLIC…I believe the Lord is bringing Judgment…there is a line that is crossed…where the Lord says…NAHUM…TIME IS UP.
        And, I think we have crossed that line here.

      • phoenix rising

        I am much more concerned about whether our law enforcement can be
        trusted with them or any of these other toys they have right now than
        the American citizens.
        The laws are all bogus anyway.

      • tk-3839

        Anon your a useful idiot..The 2ns Amendment is clear, it says what it means and means what it says. its also supported by the Dick Act of 1902, Cannot be repealed. Read it. Every male that is a US citizen is considered milita and has the birth right to any weapon used by a soldier.

      • Smiddywesson

        Where the heck do you get this stuff? Go to the CDC, they don’t even mention guns when discussing leading causes of death. They don’t even mention guns in the top 8 leading causes of unintentional death of children under 5. Go tell your lies to the ignorant followers that don’t read.

        Don’t trust me, I could be a liar too, just go to the CDC’s website: http://www.cdc.gov/safechild/NAP/background.html

        Let me QUOTE from the CDC website:

        CDC data on the leading cause of deaths under 5 years old (and I quote):
        “1-4 years of age
        Leading causes of death
        Accidents (unintentional injuries)
        Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities”
        Unintentional injuries in this action plan refer to the following causes or mechanisms of injury:

        Motor vehicle
        Suffocation
        Drowning
        Poisoning
        Fire/Burns
        Falls
        Sports and recreation
        External Cause of Unintentional Child Injuries
        Rates of traffic-related injuries are highest for children from age 5–19 years.
        Falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries.
        Death rates for drowning exceed those from falls, fires, pedal cycle injuries, pedestrian injuries, and poisoning.

      • Smiddywesson

        No wonder you posted anonymously, you are an idiot.

        “The second amendment refers to militia groups, not individuals”

        You admit that the Constitution protects militia groups, but those groups are made up of what, chickens? Your own argument undermines your position. Nice rhetoric Perry Mason. The bottom line is you are a mind numbed drone willing to give up the rule of law for what you want. Which would mean, of course, that if you got what you wanted you’d soon be bleating about your rights when there were no laws.

    • truthzilla

      This is why there are so many criminals. It doesn’t pay to follow the laws… Those who flirt the law are well rewarded, they become government officials, movie stars etc… Never register anything! It’s like posting the combination to your safe…

    • freddy-b

      FOID card. what a crock of crap that is to begin with. People of Illinois do know that the existance of the FOID itself is decades old tyranny and not the norm? Right? now its being used like this…no surprise. Im sure the gang bangers in chitown have FOIDS and keep them up to date. lol

      wizard ….. you funny guy azz clown.

    • rtmichigan

      And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

      ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

      • LAYNALAND

        A great quote…well done.
        But, I think that we always hope that they will have a second thought (mind) and do what is right…that must have been the mind of those in his time, too.
        The same in Germany. History repeats itself.

    • Anonymous

      The Cops are not the bad guy here. I live in Cook County, the suburbs of Chicago. The people who are having guns taken from their homes are people who should not have them in the first place. Convicted felons lose the right to own firearms (as well as the right to vote). Mentally incompetent people do not have the right to own a firearm. The guns rights advocates have no legit complaint here.

      • Cosmic Badger

        That is the claim being made, yes. What would concern me is whether these claims are legit. From the fed on down, prosecutor’s offices fight each other to issue as many indictments to prosecute people as they can to ONLY load their desks and get fat budgets. I would ask how many of these revoked foid people really are dangerous criminals, and how many are non-violent people who got railroaded into the corrupt system and forced to plea out? And then, would a real criminal ever have a foid card to begin with? I doubt it. They would have unregistered if not stolen weapons, and take a short ride to a neighboring state to stock up on ammo. It looks like a real sticky situation and slippery slope.

      • LAYNALAND

        ‘the cops are not the bad guy here’…you have to be kidding us?…
        If even one officer goes to one home of a law-abiding citizen, and removes a gun from that home…he is accessory to a Constitutional Crime.

        To desire to confiscate guns from Americans, is, in itself, SUSPECT.
        You, Sir, are living in a dream-world…life is not a BEACH…LIFE IS A MINE-FIELD…police, daily, are being caught doing things and saying things, that are against the law…I see these headlines DAILY.
        The fact is, you are not going to find every single person in America, with a ‘mental problem.’
        What you need to NOT DO, IS GIVE CRIMINALS, an easy TARGET for their crimes.

        Your state is pathetic…it has more crime and more death from gunshot than any in the Union.
        That’s a known fact.
        Many that have thought like you, have now changed their minds – when they were introduced into ‘home invasions.’
        When your day for a home invasion happens, without your gun in the home…you better pray for God’s mercy on your life, pal.

      • Smiddywesson

        Unfortunately, there will always be a reason to do the wrong, and unconstitutional thing.

        a) How am I to prove I am mentally stable?
        b) I would posit that during a government takeover by people who have no intention of following the law, the very moment when an armed electorate is most needed, the majority of people are not in their best and most sane state of mind.
        c) You are using exceptions to justify the general rule that they are taking everyone’s guns if their little permit expires. Maybe they should seize your car if your tags expire and see how you like that line of reasonsing.
        d) You are putting your trust in the very people who are violating your trust.

      • lostpuppy

        I love how anonymous people CLAIM this or that….but stay hidden with their absurd comments.

        It doesn’t matter what the propaganda states….the FACT is…they are starting to take guns always from people who legally had guns.

        This was stated a few yrs ago…and people CLAIMED it was paranoia ….now it’s happening, and it’s ok because they made some rule?

        Wake up…just because you don’t have protection, does not mean you can speak for me,

        Just because you want to drink the cool aid doesn’t mean everyone has too.

        • oldfatguy

          Lostpuppy, I share all of your convictions as stated above, but, before hammering on “Anonymous”, you must realize that unless the name “lostpuppy” appears on your birth certificate, you, too, are anonymous. Just sayin…

        ???

        http://chicago.cbslocal.com/tag/tom-dart/feed/

        “Illinois residents must have a valid FOID card to possess a gun. The state can take away a FOID card from anyone who has been convicted of a felony, declared mentally ill, or had a restraining order imposed against him or her.

        Dart has sent out a team of sheriff’s deputies to confiscate FOID cards and any illegal firearms from residents whose gun permits are no longer valid.”

        So CBS, a bastion of the liberal main stream media, is just making it up, right?

        Psst! This is a “conspiracy” site, we check out everything. But nice try.

    • patriot156

      This is very unconstitutional. Sad thing is the sheeple are letting it like it’s ok! Thats why never get a fricking concealed weapons permit.
      First off this violates due process in the worst way. They’re using things outside thier normal chanels to fins out who might have been a convicted felon or headcase. I would wager a small percentage were actual felons while most had let the permit elapse. Get that point too they’re confiscating them just because their what should not have to be permited, for the second amendment is our permit. You people below don’t brush this under the rug by claiming “Oh it’s just getting guns out of bad peoples hands”. Thats just letting in the first baby step to bigger and more confiscations.
      Just liek I tryed to warn people that Obamas fricking 23 Executive orders, that he signed in Feb, or March were farm mor reaching than what met the eye. This is those Executive Orders being played out now!
      Yes this is happeneing I searched this out and found several other stories that support the vilidity of this story. Just because it may not be happening next door doesn’t mean it hasn’t. SO ya this just shows us that yes registration will lead to confiscation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      Ya organised armed rebelion is the only way out of this. THise peace crap will be the death to liberty lovers all.

    • LAYNALAND

      justdave…my favorite MOTTO IN TIMES OF WAR…ECCLESIASTES 8:11…I have quoted this to a few prominent militia members…
      however, the LORD has not seen fit to rouse all GOOD MEN, AS YET…
      remember this one…’don’t fire til you see the whites of their eyes’…(they say that is, so they cannot blame, we the people, for ‘starting a Revolution’…
      as a descendant of many a Civil War & Revolutionary War hero…I pray and wait, for that time, if repentance from top down, does not occur, in the days ahead.
      Those of us, who are Leaders, need to look to the Holy Spirit, for His Timing…I have seen increasing news stories, of the injustices being perpetrated on the American People…and, if it angers me, and I don’t live there, I can imagine how Patriots in the U.S. must feel.
      When praying, about this situation, ask for GREAT WISDOM, from God, WHO GIVES TO ALL GOOD MEN, AND UPBRAIDETH NOT.
      As a Servant of God, I stand with you and all others that wish for a return to what the Founding Fathers desired for this REPUBLIC.
      OBAMA would have you believe that some Vietnamese dictator got his inspiration from the FOUNDING FATHERS, to do what he did to his people. Lies…remember this…the devil is the FATHER OF LIES…
      So, in closing here…PRAY FOR WISDOM…that timing and opportunity, will arise for Justice to Prevail.
      Blessings.

      this is how it happens, gun registration (FOID Card), then confiscation (for any reason they see fit); the 2nd amendment says that the right to bear arms “shall not be infringed” ; this is a God given right, regardless of your character or past

      The “United States” constitution is worth about as much as that roll that sits beside your toilet.
      Its up to men and women to give a thing its value. But it seems people value there take-out pizza and there 2 liters of soda more than the abilty to protect there family. That is fine people are free to make there choises in my book. But the day has the VERY real possiblity of coming when you have to look in to the dieing eyes of your children and appologize for not being able to defend them. either from the violent people working for themselves or for others. People watch there rights slip away but guess what would happen if they lost there toilet paper supply. I bet they would put up a stink about that. Value what you will but remember every choise has its consiquences. Even chooseing to do nothing. What do you really value? :cry:

      just ask the nice officers for a certified copy of their public hazard bond, I’ve never met one cop that’s ever been able to produce one!
      if the criminal with a badge cannot produce a certified copy of his public hazard bond, he is guilty of breach of his oath of office and perjury, perjury is a FELONY!
      Juramentum est indivisibile, et non est admittendum in parte verum et in parte falsam. An oath is indivisible, it cannot be in part true and in part false.

      Now the police and the courts LOVE to tell us that IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE!! Turn it back on them!!
      18 USC § 1001 – Statements or entries generally
      (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—
      (1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
      (2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
      (3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;
      shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years

      49 CFR 1104.5
      (c) Knowing and willful misstatements or omissions of material facts constitute federal criminal violations punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001 by imprisonment up to 5 years and fines up to $10,000 for each offense. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable as perjury under 18 U.S.C. 1621 which provides for fines up to $2,000 or imprisonment up to 5 years for each offense.

      DEFINITION FROM NOLO’S PLAIN-ENGLISH LAW DICTIONARY
      A signed statement, sworn to be true by the signer, that will make the signer guilty of the crime of perjury if the statement is shown to be materially false — that is, the lie is relevant and significant to the case.
