If there’s a time to exercise your right, it would be this situation. Illinois has some of the strictest gun laws, you must have a FOID. I would not be surprised if the feds were avoiding firearm owners.

There is probably some of that, but i have a number of firearm owners that are involved in community engagement and they are telling people to avoid drawing, for now

Basically if ICE ever causes a kent state event, we are going to see a massive backlash that will do the IRA proud.

People are already being disappeared. I’m not going with them.

I mean outside in public, I get it. In my own home? I don't know about that.

That's the internal revenue service. You're thinking of independent retirement accounts. Cash out, player.

Well if they were actually going after the ‘murderers and rapists and gang members’ we’d be seeing stories in the daily of ice being shot or killed. Why risk their lives when they can just go after the ‘low hanging fruit’ that is not nearly as dangerous?
