Never give up territory! I propose we simply drive the hoodlums from Lake, Porter, LaPorte, and St. Joe into Chicago where they properly belong.
Is anyone here part of "A well regulated militia..." or ready to defend the "...security of [their] free state..." Don't get me wrong, I'm a supporter, I want the right, I write letters and vote accordingly, but do we really have the right?
I'm starting to think of alternative ways of defense in Chicago. Like if there's a ban on swords or ancient weapons. I'd start fashioning make shift weapons that they don't have a law against. If they haven't banned metal baseball bats, I'll walk around carrying one in a bag over my shoulder.

Most of my friends that live in Chicago think guns are for BGs. It is pointless to have any conversations with those people in that blue state, let alone get their government to change anything. I live on the Indiana border and it is a pain sometimes when I want to skip traffic on Calumet and take Wentworth. I have to skip it all together.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,
the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The opening statement, "A well regulated militia..." (a regulated militia surely meaning prepared, organized, and perhaps excluding criminals and mentally ill) gives ONE reason why this right is necessary, but does not exclude other reasons (i.e. hunting, self defense), and clearly does not set any requirements or restrictions whatsoever. It is just that--a statement. I do accept that the prefatory statement may infer that those unfit for a civilian militia, such as criminals, and children, should not have this right.
Scalia:
'Nowhere else in the Constitution does a “right” attributed to “the people” refer to anything other than an individual right. What is more, in all six other provisions of the Constitution that mention “the people,” the term unambiguously refers to all members of the political community, not an unspecified subset.'
See District of Columbia v. Heller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I really suggest you read this case in full if you never have!
The Court states, "If all that was required to overcome the right to keep and bear arms was a rational basis, the Second Amendment would be redundant with the separate constitutional prohibitions on irrational laws, and would have no effect."
"We know of no other enumerated constitutional right whose core protection has been subjected to a freestanding 'interest-balancing' approach."
Ah... Chicago... where law abiding citizens are stripped of their arms and rendered easier prey for thugs who, be definition, have no regard for the law.
Chicago, I salute you... with which digit I am sure you know.
If everyone in this country would just stop clinging to their blind faith in firearms then the world would be a better place. I mean you guys act like the government and police aren't here to protect us. I mean why do we need firearms? I personally donated all of my firearms in the name of Peace!!! So when they ban them I am in compliance. I merely purchase numerous items from the classifieds just to keep them out of the hands of all of these crazed Indiana gun owners
Maybe not, but the Republicans have to do more to destroy its power.
Turn it into Detroit and let it collapse from within.

Lower Illinos should give Chicago and its satellite SSRs the boot. They can have a few NW Indiana counties too. Good riddance.
