A major disaster for gun owners is unfolding.

They will be forced to register their guns with the government.

One outrageous new law has thrown the Second Amendment into chaos.

Out of all of the top priorities of the gun control lobby, one of the top ones is the implementation of a national gun registry.

The idea of this is to make an eventual national gun grab easier by allowing the government to conveniently locate the homes where guns are being stored.

In addition, it provides an opportunity both for the government and for corporate America to implement a Chinese-style “social credit score” system where gun owners are punished for owning guns.

It is a disaster for the Second Amendment and it must never be allowed to take place.

But unfortunately, it is happening in one of the biggest states in America, the state of Illinois.

Lawmakers in Illinois passed a law forcing so-called “assault weapon” owners in their state to register with the government.

And this program, which is a model for the federal government, was just upheld by the ruling of one federal judge.

According to ABC 7, “A southern Illinois federal judge officially declined to issue an injunction to delay the Jan. 1 registration requirement under the state’s assault weapons ban.

“U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn issued the 34-page order on Friday.

“Gun rights advocates requested an emergency injunction to halt the registration of guns and accessories covered in the legislation, known as the Protect Illinois Communities Act, or PICA, as a condition of continued possession. The gun groups argued the requirements were unconstitutional under the Second and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

“Lawyers for Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois, gun rights advocates, gun dealers and three individual gun owners argued that the rules governing the registration of already-owned assault weapons are vague and the state failed to give proper notice to the owners of those weapons.”

Of course, this program is wildly unconstitutional, and a clear violation of the Second Amendment, as the gun advocates argued in their lawsuit.

But the judge, who was a Trump-appointed district judge, didn’t feel that the Second Amendment was important enough to justify the “problems” that he would cause by defending it.

Here is what he said in defense of his ruling: “I think there’s a mess here, and some problems, and I haven’t made my mind up. But I do think that entering an injunction today may create more problems than it’s worth.”

That’s right – the judge believed that protecting one of the key amendments of the Bill of Rights would be creating “more problems than it’s worth.”

This is an outrageous abdication of duty by a judge who should know better.

And it’s yet another attack on gun rights by politicians in a left-leaning state, who are pandering to their gun control-supporting constituents.

Illinois is forcing gun owners to register their guns with the government, and in the process they are creating a model for the federal government to do the same.
