Cook County Board Poised to Shut Down Cabela's Superstore
Discontented Cookie posts an ISRA release.
It would seem with all the permitting a store like this must go through--beginning years before groundbreaking, that this is actionable for Cabela's against Cook County, and may even qualify as ex post facto...
But it does show the extent haters of liberty will go to be in your face with their treasonous agenda.
Also from Cook County:

where we learn more about the evil machinations to shut down gun shops by Larry Sufredin Succotash, and his partner in treason, the unfortunately named William Beavers, who has a registration plan to eliminate guns from all but "The Only Ones"--you know--those guys who are shielded from the truth...
Sic 'em, Al...

Apparently, Commissioner Beavers calls himself "the hog with big nuts"--sounds like just the kind of person I would want to be setting firearms policy.
That article makes it clear that he is tight with County Board President Todd Stroger. If the ordinance passes, both Stroger and the Cook County Sheriff will each have the authority to unilaterally define any firearm as an "assault weapon," and therefore impossible to register.
You don't think they'd take advantage of that power, do you?
If you read the proposal, it's not just "Assault Weapons" that would need to be registered. That's just a red herring to distract from the rest of the legislation:
Sec. 58-132. Registration of firearms.
(a) All firearms in the County shall be registered in accordance with the provisions of this Division. It shall be the duty of a person owning or possessing a firearm to cause such firearm to be registered. No person shall within the County, possess, harbor, have under his control, transfer, offer for sale, sell, give, deliver, or accept any firearm unless such person is the holder of a valid registration certificate for such firearm. No person shall, within the County, possess, harbor, have under his control, transfer, offer for sale, sell, give, deliver, or accept any firearm which is unregisterable under the provisions of this chapter.
Third, it's worse than that--"assault weapons" can't be registered, and thus can't be legally owned. What's still worse is that neither can any other gun that's not already registered, which would be just about all of them outside of Chicago itself, because there isn't a gun registry for them to have been registered on (unless some smaller municipalities have a gun registry--I don't know of any, though), except in Chicago.
As far as I can tell, this is a total ban on firearms in Cook County, except in Chicago. Even in Chicago, now only "grandfathered" long guns can be registered, just like it has been with handguns.
wasn't there a court case already that said you couldn't totally ban firearms? I want to say it was from that part of the country too...been too long since I looked over them all.
