The St. Clair County Board passed a pair of resolutions Monday to shut down and seize a nearly 32-acre shooting range that lies within the glide path of planes landing at Scott Air Force Base.
They showed the judge there's no danger, but when greedy, self-important home-grown kleptocrats with political ambitions set their minds on "seizing" property...
That's the way with most cancers. Unless you treat them locally and early, they grow and spread and become damn near impossible to control.
This strikes close to home, as I am a resident of the Republik of Ill-annoy, and of the referenced St. Clair county. This situation has been brewing for a while and it is not surprising to see it end like this, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, David!
I'm in Madison County--right next door to St. Clair. I shot a few times at the old location of the Caseyville range.
ReplyDeleteThat's just one more angle they're using to squeeze gun owners. Soon, there won't be anywhere to shoot.
It's almost as if they want to force us to shoot from the rooftops.
