mauserme Posted April 10, 2019 at 01:16 AM Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 at 01:16 AM .Following in the not soon to be forgotten foot steps of former Senators Rooney and Nybo, several of Senator Rose's bills appear today as legislation we oppose. Adding to our already lengthy list are SB901 Criminal Law - Tech and SB902 Criminal Law - Tech, bills proposing to scare Illinois miscreants into compliance rather than enforcing the laws already on the books, while at the same time adding a multitude of special people who enjoy greater than equal protection under the law. These are the kinds of bills we normally expect to see originating in the Northern Suburbs, not Champaign. In addition to these a bill we can at least be neutral on is SB899 Criminal Law - Tech. It, too, has been added below. Another of Senator Rose's bills in our opposition list, SB2124 Sch Cd - Student Expulsion - Guns, saw action in the form of Senate Amendment 1 being adopted and the bill being moved to third reading. This bill is the Senator's effort to cause the expulsion of more students for possession of "gun-like" things rather than actual firearms. Finally, on a positive note, Senator Weaver's SB929 Regulation - Tech appears in green - a bill we can and do support. The House is scheduled for 10:00 AM today and the Senate Senate for 1:00 PM.

Blade13 Posted April 10, 2019 at 03:44 AM Share Posted April 10, 2019 at 03:44 AM So, how exactly would all these FOID revocation bills affect someone who moved to Kentucky for example? Not to mention the part about apllying for a FOID would now require meeting in person with ISP. A bunch of ridiculousness. All reasons why we are going to Kentucky in a few weeks to start seeing about moving there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJim Posted April 10, 2019 at 03:07 PM Share Posted April 10, 2019 at 03:07 PM How does filling out a form in person make everyone safer? Is the ISP going to hire shrinks to perform interviews and declare someone unsafe to own a gun? Can a local ISP counter worker deny someone a FOID for whatever reason?

smokehouse Posted April 10, 2019 at 03:21 PM Share Posted April 10, 2019 at 03:21 PM Of all of these, the one that really confuses me is SB717. Where the some just come across as bullying those who have a FOID and others deal with those who have them revoked, SB717 is tying one thing to another that is completely unrelated. Having a FOID, or even being illegible for one has nothing to do with your eligibility to drive a motor vehicle. I've said it before, my FOID was suspended in Nov simply because of a blip in my change of address when I moved to a neighboring town, it took me nearly 2 months to get it settled. We're talking about something as simple as moving to another town. Tying a person's ability to drive a vehicle to such a faulty and glitch prone system is insanity. Concerning the rest...as in the fingerprinting, in person renewal/application, and reduction from 10 to 5 years...that's just flat out bullying. My FOID expires in 2021, I already dread the pain of renewing it with the current system as-is, it will be a nightmare if they get their way on these new bills.

I am sure that Willis would like nothing more than to have you arrested for driving on suspended, lose your job due to missing work and be evicted for not being able to pay rent for being out of work. All for having the audacity to ask the state for permission to exercise your constitutional rights. The overreach and "bullying" shows their true intentions. Their actions will serve to accelerate their downfall, as these onerous restrictions only serve to further illustrate the unconstitutionality of the entire FOID system.
