Why Kill a Dream When You Can Kill a Disarmed Victim?

The Chicago PD, which did such a stellar job keeping those people at Citcigroup Center from getting killed the other day, want to ensure even more disarmed human targets in the victim pool.

I've resisted posting this for some time, but enough is enough with these stupid "buy backs":


Think I'd get in trouble if I did this...?

Well, I can always dream--as long as I'm alive.

Ok, heres' my question. I'm walking up to the local precinct with my Remington 7400 (because I have no clue what the gun is really worth ... besides, it doesn't matter ... I am a good little subject that wants to do my part) and there's Phil Cline waiting to hand me my $50 debit card. I say, "Hey, wait a minute! This is one of them nasty killing machine Assault Weapons. I want $100 dollars." He explains some technicality to me about why it's a rifle and not an Assault Weapon. I say, "Ok, hold on." I walk out to my car and saw off the stock and maybe glue on a piece of metal to the bottom of the barrel (bayonet lug). Oh yeah, maybe even take out the spring and follower from the magazine and try to jam 11 rounds into it to show that it is a high capacity magazine. If the rifle isn't already black, I'll spray paint it too. I might even tell Mr. Cline about how a bullet comes out of the end of the barrel everytime I pull the trigger (thereby demonstrating how fast anyone could spray bullets if they wanted to). Do you think he'll give me the $100??

How are they going to determine what is what? What if, someone does walk in with a sawed off shotgun? ... $50 or $100.

Here's a better one. What if I walked in with a mint condition Rock River Arms M4 (complete with every doo-dad and "looking as mean" as ever) and looked over their "offer" of $100 and changed my mind? Think I could just say, "Naw, never mind. I think I can do better at the gun show over in Indiana" and turn around to walk out. I wonder if I would still get my debit card after the goons pounded me to the ground and cuffed me?

These "buy back" schemes are just a more subtle twist of the same ploy used by the communists and nazis. They will undoubtly resort to more forceful methods on a grander scale before to long. We are losing more and more of our Fundamental Principles every day.

The brakes must be applied soon, or we will lose EVERYTHING.
