VannDaddy Posted July 26, 2017 at 10:15 PM Share Posted July 26, 2017 at 10:15 PM A lot of property that the rail lines are on we’re seized with eminent domain, so I say live by the state die by the state. Until everyone realizes lying down with government will get you a wake up call with a knife in your back we will have these types of occurrences.

3ddiver Posted July 26, 2017 at 10:16 PM Share Posted July 26, 2017 at 10:16 PM You need a license to sell a service that cuts hair and you don't need a license to sell a gun that cuts down a human life," Kennedy told the crowd. Um yes you do need a license to sell guns as a business just like the hairdressers. If a hairdresser is cutting hair as an individual they do not get a license, same as the guns.

Indigo Posted July 26, 2017 at 10:29 PM Share Posted July 26, 2017 at 10:29 PM It wasn't really eminent domain as we think of it currently - it was the gifts of alternating sections of federal land along the RR right of way that were given to the RR's by Congress as incentive for building the railroads. The ROW was part of that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VannDaddy Posted July 26, 2017 at 11:15 PM Share Posted July 26, 2017 at 11:15 PM The point still stands that the rails were “given” the land by the government, so the government taking it back should surprise no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mic6010 Posted July 26, 2017 at 11:30 PM Share Posted July 26, 2017 at 11:30 PM This Kennedy guy and his minions are gonna be an absolute disaster for IL gun owners. Dude sounds like hes got PTSD from JFK getting shot still the way he talks. Who cares about the rail lines, their payed up clouted behinds can handle themselves. That's the least of our worries as citizens of IL. This guys up there talking about creating a registration of firearms and "how well" its worked in other places (which is complete horse manure).Hes talking about implementing universal background checks in IL. In that same article IL Democrat cronies are talking about "I have supported legislation to improve police accountability, license gun dealers, promote gun buy-back programs, limit concealed carry, crack down on gun trafficking and more."... I mean just wow. Anyone with an FOID card needs to vote against this idiot. I can't believe he has the audacity to talk about this state and its people like we are his people. More Democratic political oligarchy coming to play in IL. Shocking right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0untZer0 Posted July 27, 2017 at 01:51 AM Share Posted July 27, 2017 at 01:51 AM If Daley can destroy an entire airport and get away with it, I'm sure a Kennedy can seize a rail yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanook Posted July 27, 2017 at 02:18 AM Share Posted July 27, 2017 at 02:18 AM Remember Jack Nicholson playing Jimmy Hoffa? He said he didn't care what the Kennedy's thought, because they were just a bunch of rum runners. That's how the father of this clown circus made his money during Prohibition. I enjoyed that part of the movie. I've never had a use for any of them, to be honest. Maybe he just read something about Mussolini and the railroads, and it inspired him. I hope he's just a flash in the pan come election time, and we never have to hear from him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec4 Posted July 27, 2017 at 11:58 AM Share Posted July 27, 2017 at 11:58 AM My guess is he would be on food stamps if his name wasn't Kennedy. My prediction is that Pritzer has this in the bag so this is just liberal whacked out rhetoric. Funny he had a black panther backing him up.

Eli Mcfly Posted July 27, 2017 at 12:37 PM Share Posted July 27, 2017 at 12:37 PM Chicago is the mistake, not the rest of the state.

skinnyb82 Posted July 27, 2017 at 11:05 PM Share Posted July 27, 2017 at 11:05 PM Pritzker isn't dumb enough to say something like "seize their rail lines." Something tells me that the taking of private property to "save the children" wouldn't go over well with any court. He's blowing smoke anyway, and idiots are buying into it.

C0untZer0 Posted July 28, 2017 at 02:11 AM Share Posted July 28, 2017 at 02:11 AM Remember when Maxine Waters threatened to nationalize the oil industry? This is how the left thinks, so seizing a rail yard fits their ideology. There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters. - Daniel Webster - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonP Posted July 28, 2017 at 02:06 PM Share Posted July 28, 2017 at 02:06 PM Private Property is just a minor inconvenience to the Left, as far as doing whatever they feel is for the "greater good". Look at California and New York, with their Assault Weapon and magazine bans, ordering turn in with no compensation or outright confiscation. Does anyone here think that Madigan and Cullerton would hesitate for a second, if they thought they could get away with a complete ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnyb82 Posted July 30, 2017 at 01:11 PM Share Posted July 30, 2017 at 01:11 PM That would be something. Buffett would make Kennedy pay dearly for seizing Berkshire-Hathaway assets. You don't just seize assets owned by a billionaire's...well, holding company (Class A shares of BRK currently trade at around $261k, one share comes with lunch with Warren). This is all conjecture, hypothetical, but it's nice to think about Buffett making an example out of some flaming liberal. If red is for Republicans, blue for Democrats, then Buffett would be considered "green" as in the color of money. He pals around with whomever is going to make him money and the Democrats, especially Obama, have been making him money hand over fist through crony capitalism.
