InterestedBystander Posted February 15, 2020 at 12:13 AM Share Posted February 15, 2020 at 12:13 AM Is it safe to say that a majority of Democratic Illinois lawmakers just don’t care about our 2nd amendment rights? LolAfter reading these proposed bills I think it's safe to say that our lawmakers are out of their ******* minds. And these aren't even reflecting changes in the shell bills they are submitting.

ChicagoRonin70 Posted February 15, 2020 at 12:30 AM Share Posted February 15, 2020 at 12:30 AM I don't know if I agree with that, because sometimes the thing that the MOST needy people require MOST is the ability to defend themselves against predatory criminals, and survival due to self-defense is a need that supersedes even eating, in the immediate scope.I thought about that, but I don't think our fight is to provide firearms at no expense anymore than we would fight to provide cars, phones, etc at no expense. Besides, money is fungible. Actually, since the right to keep and bear arms is just that, a right, and cars, phones, et cetera, are things that are material privileges, I am ALL for poor and disadvantaged people receiving subsidies to be able to obtain the means to defend themselves. I'd rather my taxes go to that than a lot of other things—pretty much to that than just about ANYTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauserme Posted February 20, 2020 at 08:18 PM Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 at 08:18 PM HB5671 FOID - Appeal was filed today: Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that notwithstanding any prohibitions on granting relief from obtaining a Firearm Owner's Identification Card because of federal law, the Director of the Illinois State Police, or the circuit court for various violations, may grant relief when the federal prohibition on possession of firearms is predicated solely on a provision of the Criminal Code of 2012, including, but not limited to, possession of a firearm by a felon, that would no longer apply to the applicant upon granting of relief under the appeals provisions of the Act.

mauserme Posted February 25, 2020 at 01:30 AM Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 at 01:30 AM I added Senate amendment 1 to SB3098 to our list of bills under review today. This amendment adds the language in SB3099 combining funds for various firearm services, to a previously unrelated bill combining vehicle maintenance funds. It does not appear to co-mingle the funds for firearm services and vehicle maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinserts the introduced bill with the following changes: Deletes amendatory changes in the Private Detective, Private Alarm, Private Security, Fingerprint Vendor, and Locksmith Act of 2004 concerning armed proprietary security force. Instead, provides that all armed employees of the registered proprietary security force must complete all the firearm training requirements of the provisions (rather than 20-hour firearm training). In provisions amending the Criminal Code of 2012, changes the hours required of training for a security officer and firearm training for a person to be eligible for an exception from the use of a deadly weapon.

I believe all of the 100+ gun bills, pro and anti, submitted in 2020 are all sitting waiting for rules or assignment committees although they might try being a bit sneaky on SB1966.

MRE Posted October 6, 2020 at 05:12 PM Share Posted October 6, 2020 at 05:12 PM Its the perfect time for a bill like this, and any legislator looking at whats happening right now who has a thread of common sense would support it. Removing renewal requirements would lift a huge burden off the back of ISP/FSB, while apparently having no impact on public safety. Why no impact? Right now the State is saying a person can have a valid card for 18 months after their current card expires, or the State emergency expires. If the emergency ended today, and your card just expired today, thats nearly 1/3 the life of a normal CCL card that they admit they dont need renewals to protect public safety. And its not ending any time soon, meaning people will be out there with cards that have been expired for maybe 2+ years. Whats the point of a renewal then, if they can apparently still monitor the status of a licensed person? Its always argued that we need renewals for public safety reasons. The 18 month allowance throws that argument in the trash. The reality is, its nothing to do with safety and everything to do with revenue. Which is why this bill probably goes nowhere.
