TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): So, so-called assault weapons are used in an infinitesimally small percentage of crimes in this country. They're not a threat to anybody, but Joe Biden, like Justin Trudeau and every would-be dictator on the planet sees them as a potential threat to political power, so Joe Biden thinks only his bodyguards should have them, not you. And in Illinois, the governor there called Pritzker has decided he's going to get a jump on this. He wants to be president by the way, and has signed a ban into law. Now, Pritzker is threatening to arrest who doesn't register the rifle with the state because you can trust the state.
...
Meanwhile, people are leaving Chicago because it's too dangerous to live there, but you live on a farm downstate, you can't have an assault weapon unless you register it with that creep. So, hopefully there will be mass disobedience, and now, reporting suggests there is. Several county sheriffs in Illinois said they will not enforce this law.
