Illinois Bill Would Require Gun Owners to Buy $1M in Liability Insurance
hat tip to OP User ID: 554626


An Illinois state lawmaker is proposing that gun owners be required to carry personal liability insurance of at least $1 million.

Rep. Kenneth Dunkin's bill seeks to amend the state's Firearm Owners Identification Card Act to provides that any person who owns a firearm in the state maintain a $1 million or higher policy of liability insurance "specifically covering any damages resulting from negligent or willful acts involving the use of such firearm while it is owned by such person."

A gun owner would be responsible after a firearm is lost or stolen until the loss or theft is reported to the police department or sheriff of the jurisdiction in which the owner resides.

Police would be empowered to pull the gun license of anyone who does not submit evidence of having the required insurance.

The measure is now in the House Rules Committee.

I live in the Gestapo state of Illinois also and I believe that the FOID card is illegal because if you do not have one you can not buy ammo or a gun .

FOID : Firearm Owners identification card.

It is a way to deny a individual of their 2nd Amendment right to purchase and own a firearm or ammunition.
No card no ammo or firearm.

Now this insurance crap. The state must be getting kickbacks from the insurance companies or the politician who introduced it must be getting some good bribery dollars from a insurance lobbyist,.

How many will move out of the state if it passes?
Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support!

They may not have the manpower to enforce it, but when you register your weapon I'm sure that just like a car you will be required to have proof of insurance before you get your permit. And if you ever use an unregistered gun you will become a felon--even if you're defending your home.

Just like they do now for auto insurance..

Thing is, Only Honest folks have Foid cards..

So only Honest Folks will get the insurance..

Won't change a thing for the OutLaw types..

Other words those who do the damage still won't
have insurance..

So this is just another money grad AND way to

It is ironic that the author of the bestselling book "Freakonomics" - who is an economics professor at the Univ of Chicago - pointed out in the book that the actual statistics indicate that of 100 times more likely that a fatality will occur in a home with a swimming pool than in a home with a gun.

I wonder if the Ill. Legislature will require pool owners to buy 100 MM insurance?

Re: Illinois Bill Would Require Gun Owners to Buy $1M in Liability Insurance
It is all the lawyers and corporations causing these problems.

Maybe the militia has to get the insurance too.

Here is where the states started to license the state militias...
Keep in mind this is after the 14th Amendment was implemented and when everything went to agency and license:


Art. XI. of the Military Code of that State, Act of May 28, 1879, Laws of 1879, 192. § 5. It shall not be lawful for any body of men whatever, other than the regular organized volunteer militia of this State (Illinois), and the troops of the United States, to associate themselves together as a military company or organization, or to drill or parade with arms in any city, or town, of this State, without the license of the Governor thereof, which license may at any time be revoked...

Under the law, this guy got indicted for bareing arms:

PRESSER v. ILLINOIS.
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
Argued November 23, 24, 1885.--Decided January 4, 1886.

<clip>

The indictment charged in substance that Presser, on September 24, 1879, in the county of Cook, in the State of Illinois, "did unlawfully belong to, and did parade and drill in the city of Chicago with an unauthorized body of men with arms, who had associated themselves together as a military company and organization, without having a license from the Governor, and not being a part of, or belonging to, 'the regular organized volunteer militia' of the State of Illinois, or the troops of the United States."

A motion to quash the indictment was overruled. Presser then pleaded not guilty, and both parties having waived a jury the case was tried by the court, which found Presser guilty and sentenced him to pay a fine of $10.

The bill of exceptions taken upon the trial set out all the evidence, from which it appeared that Presser was thirty-one years old, a citizen of the United States and of the State of Illinois, and a voter; that he belonged to a society called the Lehr und Wehr Verein, a corporation organized April 16, 1875, in due form, under chapter 32, Revised Statutes of Illinois, called the General Incorporation Laws of Illinois, "for the purpose," as expressed by its certificate of association, "of improving the mental and bodily condition of its members, so as to qualify them for the duties of citizens of a republic. Its members shall therefore obtain, in the meetings of the association, a knowledge of our laws and political economy, and shall also be instructed in military and gymnastic exercises;" that Presser, in December, 1879, marched at the head of said company, about four hundred in number, in the streets of the city (p.255) of Chicago, he riding on horseback and in command; that the company was armed with rifles and Presser with a cavalry sword; that the company had no license from the governor of Illinois to drill or parade as a part of the militia of the State, and was not a part of the regular organized militia of the State, nor a part of troops of the United States, and had no organization under the militia law of the United States. The evidence showed no other facts. Exceptions were reserved to the ruling of the court upon the motion to quash the indictment, to the finding of guilty, and to the judgment thereon. The case was taken to the Supreme Court of Illinois, where the judgment was affirmed. Thereupon Presser brought the present writ of error for a review of the judgment of affirmance.

I knew where this case was going when the court cited these three things:

Presser was:

1) A citizen of the United States and of the State of Illinois (noted 14th Amendment citizenship, he is a legal entity thus controlled by the state);
2) A voter (he is in rebellion against his lawful government);
3) And belonged to a society incorporated under Revised Statutes of Illinois (a creature of the state, thus controlled by its creator).

One, Two, Three, he's out!

No natural or "original" constitutional rights, as he (Presser) was a creature of the State both in his person and being a member of an incorporation.
The 2nd Amendment did not apply to him: Arguing it was worthless.

The 2nd Amendment only applies to men. People have been turned into legal entities by the 14th Amendment and therefore controlled by the state.
The sooner people understand this, the sooner we get the states back from these usurping insurgents.


Learn more here [link to www.pacinlaw.org]

p.s. The purpose of the 2nd Amendment in the original context of the constitutional system was to protect the states from the government in regard to the militia. The amendment has nothing to do with one's NATURAL right to own a gun in his defense, and his country. The NRA is a fraud. Its job is to keep people confused under this system under the 14th Amendment, a.k.a. planned opposed resistance. See the post above.

"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government."

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of the people."

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!!!"

“…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." - Woodrow Wilson from his death bed regarding his involvement in the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
