The state’s mandatory 72-hour background check has stretched to more than a week for some of Glavin’s customers, putting Illinois residents in the same boat as Californians – who have a 10-day wait before they can take possession of recently bought firearms.
The firearms services bureau of the Illinois State Police is taking an average of 94 business hours — not counting holidays, weekends, the day the gun is purchased, or the day the sale is approved or denied — to process background checks, roughly a day longer than usual, according to state police spokeswoman Beth Hundsdorfer. The bureau is responsible for issuing firearm owner’s identification cards and concealed carry licenses, as well as conducting background checks for licensed gun dealers when a sale is made. Its work started to pick up in March and has spiked in June, Hundsdorfer said. –Chicago Tribune
Between June 1 and June 17, there were over 42,089 applications for FOID cards vs. just 7,000 during the same period last year – an increase of 501%. Putting that into further context, there were 48,194 applications between December, January and February combined.
“We know that traditionally there’s an uptick in gun purchases around elections and major tragedies,” said DePaul University associate professor of social work, Noam Ostrander.
“There’s two big predictors of gun ownership — not sport-type rifle owners — but among new gun owners usually, and that is perceived risk of victimization and then a belief that the world is a dangerous place,” Ostrander continued. “And if we dig into that second one, right, the world does look like a dangerous place right now.”
Des Plaines gun store and range owner Dan Eldridge says that half of the customers scrambling to arm up are first-time buyers.
“The numbers I saw from the National Shooting Sports Foundation … said 40% of respondents to (store) surveys were new, first-time buyers. And of those, 40% are female — 40% of the 40%,” said Eldridge. “We’re tracking 150% of a typical May in firearms sales … and that’s with being open by appointment only.”
Eldridge also noted that sales of defensive ammunition, such as hollow-point bullets, were 10x as high.
“What is significant is a whole lot of people who have firearms for their house or self-defense are saying, ‘I’d better have some ammunition for this thing or it’s not going to do me any good.’” he added.
Liberals embracing the 2nd Amendment
University of Illinois at Chicago associate professor of Political Science, Alexandra Filindra, says that there’s plenty of research and anecdotal evidence that many of the white, first-time gun buyers identify as politically progressive.
“It’s not so much a security concern, though they may tend to want to misidentify it as fear,” said Filindra. “But typically people who are highly anxious and afraid tend to be more supportive of gun control.”
A 38-year-old man from Dixon — who didn’t want his name used, citing employment reasons — described himself as “a very liberal Democrat” who for decades has been “for most forms of gun control politically.” But since March, he’s been waiting for his first gun permit to arrive so he can keep his family safe, he said. “My views have recently changed, and I have accepted that the Second Amendment provides for the personal ownership and use of a firearm,” he said in an email. “The recent social unrest of a divisive president, the pandemic and dramatic rise in unemployment, and the more recent social unrest because of the way we police in this country have all been reasons that have prompted my recent application.” –Chicago Tribune
Concealed Carry gun instructor and owner of Safer USA, David Lombardo, says he’s had several callers recently who have disclosed their political beliefs while asking him for private one-on-one training because “they don’t want anyone to know they’re doing the training, let alone going to buy a firearm.”

“I have seen the emergence of a new class of students seeking training: anti-Second Amendment liberals,” he said.
Carrie Lightfoot, founder of the popular shooting blog The Well Armed Woman, said there’s nothing hypocritical about changing your views when the world around you is changing. And she’s not surprised women make up a good portion of these new gun buyers. Women have always understood they are at a disadvantage when it comes to a male aggressor who will likely be taller, heavier and stronger. Now we are “all shaken to our core” by world events, which is why “it is only natural” women are arming themselves, she said. “I am seeing women come to gun ownership who literally just weeks or months ago were opposed to people owning guns personally,” Lightfoot said. “Sometimes, it is in moments of personal need and through our personal concerns that our life’s context changes.” –Chicago Tribune
Lots of guns, not a lot of training
DePaul’s Ostrander points out what few are saying; first-time gun owners are eight-times more likely to accidentally shoot themselves vs. those in gun-free homes, because they lack training.
“If they feel safer having 5 pounds of metal in their home, then at least let’s try to get some basic instruction going. Some standard gun safety,” he said.

Emails Document Senior Obama White House-Clinton State Dept. Officials Joke About Being Called ‘Liars’ About Benghazi
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released 80 pages of records that show top Obama White House officials scrambling to “evolve” its false claims that the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. Government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, began “spontaneously” in response to an anti-Muslim video on the Internet. The emails show top Obama White House official Ben Rhodes and Clinton State Department Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan joking about being called “liars” and “leakers.”
The records were produced in response to a Judicial Watch 2016 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:16-cv-02046)). Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the Justice Department failed to comply with a July 7, 2016, FOIA request for records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her tenure.
On September 16, 2012, then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on five Sunday television talk shows claiming the Benghazi attack was incited spontaneously by an anti-Muslim Internet video. The newly released records show a redacted official’s email from September 27 to then-Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes and then-NSC spokesman Tommy Vietor, copying then-Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan, saying, “What’s the plan here?” Rhodes responds:
Broader plan is IC [intelligence community] acknowledgement of an evolving assessment of what took place, which happens to be true (unlike just about everything else we’ve seen reported on Benghazi.)
Further along in the email thread, an official whose name is redacted, says, “Everyone know [sic] Susan [in her TV appearances] was using not just IC approved guidance, but IC created.”
Additionally, Rhodes says to Sullivan and other redacted officials:
At least you’re only a liar. Could be worse – we’re liars and also allegedly leakers. So you’ve got that going for you, which is something.

Sullivan replies: “We’re only lying footsoldiers [sic]. You’re lying masterminds. That’s cooler.”
A redacted official replies to Sullivan: “I prefer that we go by henchmen. Has more of a Marvel comic sinisterness to it. There should be a cable show where all the guests, and the anchor, have to wear polygraphs. Or, when there’s a dispute between source, the aggrieved parties take a poly, with some neutral third party rendering judgment. The Biggest Liar.”
Rhodes says to Sullivan: “I’d like to go on television and tell everybody what I think…. Look at it this way. I[t] could be worse.

The synopsis of the memo reads: “CIA response to FBI LHM [Letterhead Memo] dated January 28, 2016 regarding a document request.” The memo further notes: “[redacted] document attached to CIOL [apparently referring to a Counterintelligence Operations Letter].”
“Joking about being called ‘liars’ after being caught lying about the Benghazi terrorist attack says a lot about the Obama-Clinton team’s contempt for the rule of law and those four innocent Americans murdered in Libya September 11, 2012,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The documents also show that Ben Rhodes, the Obama White House official who created the false story for Susan Rice to use on Benghazi, was planning to orchestrate again an ‘evolving’ explanation about the Benghazi attack by the Intelligence Community in time for then-President Obama’s reelection.”

Defining White Privilege: White Male Student of UC Berkeley Murdered, Chancellor of University Evokes George Floyd in Message to Student Body About His Murder

Years ago , when I still read Sports Illustrated , the magazine boasted a hilarious section dubbed : This Week ’ s Sign the Apocalypse is Among Us .
Well , for your viewing pleasure , here is an updated take on this trope .
[ Campus mourns tragic death of third-year Berkeley student , Berkeley.Edu .
June 22 , 2020 ] : Chancellor Carol Christ sent the following message to the campus community on Monday : Some of you are aware of the tragic death earlier this week of third-year UC Berkeley student Seth Smith .

take our poll - story continues below Seth was 19 years old , majoring in economics , and was due to graduate in spring 2021 .
He came to UC Berkeley from Clarksburg , CA .
This is a senseless tragedy that affects all of us as a campus where the growth and development of our students underpins our entire mission .
We offer our deepest sympathy to Seth ’ s family , friends , teachers , fellow students , and our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concern about community safety .
UCPD and the Berkeley Police Department ( BPD ) have responsibility for patrolling campus property and the city , respectively , and share a deep commitment to public safety .
BPD is investigating the incident and is offering a $ 50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of all responsible suspects .
BPD asks anyone with information about Seth ’ s killing to call the Homicide Unit at ( 510 ) 981-5741 or the department ’ s 24-hour non-emergency line at ( 510 ) 981-5900 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time for those of you who knew Seth .
It is important to know that individuals may express their grief differently and we need to respect the different ways people react and support each other in the days and weeks ahead .
Many of you may have had a close relationship with Seth and are feeling a sense of loss and disbelief .
Others , like many of us , are experiencing stress , grief and anxiety related to the coronavirus pandemic and the recent murders of George Floyd , Riah Milton , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you will get comfort from your friends , family , spiritual leaders or other student groups .

Please also reach out to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Dean of Students well-being resources , should you need any additional support or have questions .
A white male student was murdered on the campus of UC-Berkeley , and the Chancellor the University sends out an email regretting the murder of convicted home invader/drug user George Floyd .
Was our civilization so fragile it could be toppled in avenging the memory of a black male who long ago committed a home invasion and put a gun in the belly of a pregnant woman ?
Sadly , the answer is yes .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ job was always to survive it .

We realize this is a difficult time for those of you who knew Seth. It is important to know that individuals may express their grief differently and we need to respect the different ways people react and support each other in the days and weeks ahead. Many of you may have had a close relationship with Seth and are feeling a sense of loss and disbelief. Others, like many of us, are experiencing stress, grief and anxiety related to the coronavirus pandemic and the recent murders of George Floyd, Riah Milton, and other Black Americans.
Many of you will get comfort from your friends, family, spiritual leaders or other student groups. We also invite you to talk to a counselor at University Health Services (UHS) if you are concerned about yourself or anyone else in your community. There is also information online regarding grief and loss:http://www.uhs.berkeley.edu/home/news/copingwithtrauma.shtml.
Counselors at UHS at the Tang Center are available for urgent concerns: Counseling and Psychological Serviceswebsite or 510-642-9494 (after hours counseling line 855-817-5667 ).
Please also reach out to the Dean of Student office, and see the Dean of Students well-being resources, should you need any additional support or have questions.
A white male student was murdered on the campus of UC-Berkeley, and the Chancellor the University sends out an email regretting the murder of convicted home invader/drug user George Floyd.
Was our civilization so fragile it could be toppled in avenging the memory of a black male who long ago committed a home invasion and put a gun in the belly of a pregnant woman?
Sadly, the answer is yes.
The anti-white apocalypse is upon us. Our job was always to survive it.

Contact tracing is being configured into many aspects of society, setting up the infrastructure to forcibly track, isolate, test, remove and vaccinate people, with no informed consent.

As colleges attempt to recover from the pandemic and prepare for future semesters, a New York University professor estimates that the next 5-10 years will see one to two thousand schools going out of business.
Scott Galloway, professor of marketing at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business told Hari Sreenivasan on PBS’ “Amanpour and Co.” that many colleges are likely to suffer to the point of eventual extinction as a result of the coronavirus.

He sets up a selection of tier-two universities as those most likely not to walk away from the shutdown unscathed. During the pandemic, wealthy companies have not struggled to survive. Similarly, he says, “there is no luxury brand like higher education,” and the top names will emerge from coronavirus without difficulty.
“Regardless of enrollments in the fall, with endowments of $4 billion or more, Brown and NYU will be fine,” Galloway wrote in a blog post
“However, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of universities with a sodium pentathol cocktail of big tuition and small endowments that will begin their death march this fall.”
“You’re gonna see an incredible destruction among companies that have the following factors: a tier-two brand; expensive tuition, and low endowments,” he said on “Amanpour and Co.,” because “there’s going to be demand destruction because more people are gonna take gap years, and you’re going to see increased pressure to lower costs.”
Approximating that a thousand to two thousand of the country’s 4,500 universities could go out of business in the next 5-10 years, Galloway concludes, “what department stores were to retail, tier-two higher tuition universities are about to become to education and that is they are soon going to become the walking dead.”
Another critical issue underlying the financial difficulties families and universities both face is the possibility that the quality of higher education has decreased.
Galloway argues that an education in the U.S. is observably unsatisfactory for the amount that it costs, given that if you “walk into a class, it doesn’t look, smell or feel much different than it did 40 years ago, except tuition’s up 1,400 percent,” he said during an interview with Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
And the pandemic, according to Galloway, has served to expose the quality of higher education.
“Students I think across America along with their families listening in on these Zoom classes are all beginning to wonder what kind of value, or lack thereof, they’re getting for their tuition dollars,” he said.
Here’s what Professor Galloway expects to happen:
In the next six weeks, after receiving deposits/tuition, more universities will begin announcing they are moving to all online courses for Fall. The scenario planning via Zoom among administrators rivals D-Day. But likely all scenarios will lead to one realization: the protocols mandated by the surge in US infections will diminish the in-class experience to the point where the delta between in-person and Zoom will be less than the delta between the risks of each approach. Parents and students may still decide to send their kids back to campus, and make their own decisions concerning the risks they can tolerate with a hybrid experience — online learning while living on or near campus. They should/will enjoy the lawns at UVA and Royce Quad with friends — marked for distancing. But in-person classes should not take place. Universities will face a financial crisis as parents and students recalibrate the value of the fall semester (spoiler alert: it’s a terrible deal). In addition, our cash cows (international students) may decide xenophobia, Covid-19, and H1-B visa limits aren’t worth $79,000 (estimated one-year cost of attending NYU). This has been a long time coming and, similar to many industries, we will be forced to make hard decisions. Most universities will survive, many will not. This reckoning is overdue and a reflection of how drunk universities have become on exclusivity and the Rolex-ification of campuses, forgetting we’re public servants not luxury brands.
The outspoken professors ends with another uncomfortable truth: Universities that, after siphoning $1.5 trillion in credit from young people, cannot endure a semester on reduced budgets do not deserve to survive.

thedcclothesline--2020-06-28--There’s No Room For George Washington At George Washington University

When you accept the premise , you have to accept everything that follows .
If you accept that Confederate statues had to come down because they were slave owners , you also have to accept that statues of Washington and Jefferson have to come down .
And if you accept that America until the present moment was guilty of systemic racism , then all the statues have to come down .
And good old GWU in D.C. has shrugged at the toppling of a mighty bust of Washington .
take our poll - story continues below The Hatchet reports that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Washington was torn from its foundation on campus .
It has not however been discussed by the University or attributed to protesters .
The news of the toppling of our own statue received surprisingly little coverage by The Hatchet and I did not hear any public statement from our Administration .
I would have hoped that our university would have denounced this criminal act as a senseless and unacceptable act .
It certainly would seem to warrant a tad more than “ A GWPD officer found the head of a George Washington statue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was found laying at the base of the stand .
GWPD called Facilities Services following the discovery.
” The event was first noted by Kara Zupkus of Young Americans for Freedom at GWU .
As Turley notes , the university has not commented on it and thus has not committed to restoring the bust .
The bust was donated to the university in honor of the bicentennial .
It was sculpted by Avard Fairbanks , a Mormon sculptor , whose work appears all over D.C. • Defining White Privilege : White Male Student @ @ @ @ @ @ @ University Evokes George Floyd in Message to Student Body About His Murder • Nearly HALF of 70 University of Texas students who went to Mexico on spring break now test positive for the coronavirus • University of Missouri Students Will Now Be Required to Install Location Tracking App
