Martial Law

The Democrat run city of Champaign IL yesterday essentially declared martial law by giving the mayor ‘certain emergency powers’ without using the phrase martial law.

The emergency ordinance also gives the mayor some more far-reaching powers, including imposing a curfew, limiting the use of water, taking possession of property, restricting the sale of firearms and closing businesses.

The local radio yesterday was also talking about potential road barricades.

All this without a single case of Covid-19 in the county.

Is it so wrong to be preventative in a situation like this? Sure Martial Law May be overkill but they won’t be the last. Italy essentially enacted Martial Law when they quarantined entire cities where no one in and no one out. With as tragically under prepared we were for this. Is it any surprise that things like this are happening. Trump himself has given Pence emergency powers to waive laws and regulations to combat the spread. It’s not only Democrats.

It’s mind-boggling how many people in IL never realized the ramifications of electing a Democratic Governor. Unless of course, you’re on the receiving end of all those promised social benefits,,,,

I disagree with you.

Hot Runr Guy, remember since 1991 there have been 4 Republican and 3 Democrats as Governors. Both parties can share the blame.

And yet it is the current Democratic Governor and administration that raised the <3000# trailer license plate from $18/year to $118/year. And raised the gas tax by 19 cents/gallon.

Not to mention that the current Republican President commuted the sentence of the Democratic Governor that was in prison. Not even his own party took care of him.

The city of Hoboken, NJ is implementing a city-wide curfew as well as additional restrictions. I have no idea what the political affiliations of their mayor or city council members but I just wanted to make some of you aware so you have the opportunity to be angry and offended about this instance too.

I’m from Illinois. There ain’t nobody stupider than us.

Well I won’t argue the point ….. but I won’t concede it either.

Wow lot of angry people, how about just stay safe and try not to spread this damn virus !

While every one’s focused on COVID-19 the House and Senate just introduced new massive gun control bills. In the immortal words of Rahm Emanual (D), “Never Let A crisis Go To Waste”.

Rep. Henry Johnson (D-Ga) presented this 1/30/2020.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/5717/text?r=1&s=1

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma) presented this 2/5/2020.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/3254

I’m sure some people here won’t mind these, some will welcome them and others will see them for what they really are:

Ban gun ownership without a government license
Ban your rifles
Ban your magazines
Ban suppressors
Ban home builds
Create a national gun registry
Set up a nationwide gun confiscation scheme
Tax guns at 30% and ammo at 50%
Ban patriots under 21 from exercising their Second Amendment rights
Ration guns by making it illegal to purchase more than one firearm in a 30-day period
* Force “Safe Storage” requirements on gun owners
* Force FFLs to spend massive amounts of money to comply with new “security” requirements
* Expand “Gun Free Zones”
* And the list goes on and on and on

LOL

Jeez, I can see staying at home is already taking its toll.

Stay the course, if we don’t it will be even longer until some normalcy returns. Still a long way to go.
