Confiscation of Registered Guns Begins
                          in Illinois



                          The ISRA is following up on
                          leads in one case that has
                          disturbing implications. An elderly
                          first-generation Chicago resident
                          was recently paid a visit by an
                          Illinois State Police trooper. After
                          asking to come inside the man's
                          home, the trooper asked if the
                          man owned a gun - to which he
                          replied yes. The trooper then
                          directed the individual to
                          surrender the firearm. The man complied with the officer's demand and the trooper
                          left with the gun. And the story gets better...

                          The gun in question was purchased legally by the man in the 1970s shortly after he
                          became a U.S. citizen. When Chicago's infamous gun registration scheme went into
                          effect in the early 1980s, the man registered the firearm as per the requirement.
                          However, over the years, the fellow apparently forgot to re-register the firearm, and
                          forgot to renew his Illinois FOID Card.

                          So...what does this all mean?

                          In the last edition of The Illinois Shooter, we reported on the activities of a shady
                          taskforce known as the Chicago Anti Gun Enforcement (CAGE) unit. This elite
                          squad, operated jointly by the Illinois State Police, the Chicago Police Department,
                          and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, supposedly exists to identify illegal
                          gunrunners. However, information gained by the ISRA makes it clear that the CAGE
                          unit is targeting law-abiding citizens, not criminal gunrunners.

                          Thanks to a ruling by a liberal federal judge, the CAGE unit now has the name of
                          every single person in the United States who, since 1992, lawfully purchased more
                          than one handgun in the period of a week. The CAGE unit also has all the makes,
                          models and serial numbers of those guns. In essence, the Chicago Police
                          Department is now registering guns and gun owners nationwide.

                          The ISRA has also learned that the CAGE unit has compiled a list of families where
                          more than one person in that family holds a FOID card. Acting on that information,
                          the CAGE unit is now contacting gun shops where those families have shopped,
                          and is illegally registering all guns purchased by those families.

                          Now, it appears that the CAGE unit is scrubbing Chicago's gun registration list
                          against the list of FOID card holders. Indications are that folks who have let their
                          registrations and FOIDs lapse will have their guns confiscated..
