ragsbo Posted December 13, 2020 at 11:27 PM Share Posted December 13, 2020 at 11:27 PM And how is she going to get the criminals to apply for it and then abide by the ruling that they can't have one????? Does nothing to stop crime and bad guys from getting anything. Strictly more harassment of the honest law abiding citizen and more damage to their 2nd amendment rights.

EdDinIL Posted December 13, 2020 at 11:34 PM Share Posted December 13, 2020 at 11:34 PM So, on the same day the ISP issues a press release about the problems with the FOID, as discussed here: http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=76734 She comes out with that announcement. I don't believe in coincidences like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Posted December 14, 2020 at 12:59 AM Share Posted December 14, 2020 at 12:59 AM Let me understand this correctly. Her idea on how to “fix the FOID” which has a backlog three times longer than the time limit legislated is to add an additional layer of complexity? Really? The people they have screening FOID applications are overwhelmed (understaffed) so let’s fix that by adding a requirement that fingerprint experts (now nonexistent in the process) have to also approve the application. The ISP currently cannot keep up with renewals which are required every 10 years so let’s eliminate the backlog by doubling the renewals by requiring them every 5 years. Do I understand that correctly? Is this an example of the intelligent level of the average Democrat representative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaeghl Posted December 14, 2020 at 01:32 AM Share Posted December 14, 2020 at 01:32 AM How about we have someone make a law called "Fix the morons". Before a Senate seat stuffer or Congress critter can propose a bill or new law, they have to pass a test on the U.S. Constitution AND the Illinois Constitution. The second part of the test is to explain exactly how the bill or new law would do a needed service, not impose or restrict any lawful citizen's rights, or correct a problem, such as crime.A pass is getting a score of 100%. 99% or less is a fail.Two fails in a calendar year means that member steps down and the other party gets to install a new member. Just a thought.....you think morrison would last two weeks?I know, hyperbole,,,,,,but still.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonP Posted December 14, 2020 at 02:43 AM Share Posted December 14, 2020 at 02:43 AM Isn't this one of those things the Democrats usually screech will impact the poor and minorities hardest? Of course, maybe she's just another typical Democrat racist and wants to hurt the poor and minorities? It also closely resembles a "Poll Tax" for exercising a constitutional right.

smokehouse Posted December 18, 2020 at 09:29 PM Share Posted December 18, 2020 at 09:29 PM Isn't this one of those things the Democrats usually screech will impact the poor and minorities hardest? Of course, maybe she's just another typical Democrat racist and wants to hurt the poor and minorities? It also closely resembles a "Poll Tax" for exercising a constitutional right. 1000% Let the NAACP get a hold of that one if it passes. Charging someone to exercise a constitutional right is illegal. A FOID card is darn near exactly that same thing as a poll tax. Making it even more costly and adding another layer like mandatory fingerprinting makes that even more costly. Idiot politicians want to keep comparing this to a driver's license...despite the fact that driving a car on public funded roads is not a constitutional right. Privately owning a firearm is. Hasn't a high level Ill court already overturned a criminal conviction of a lady who had an old firearm, but never had a FOID? If I remember correctly, they found that simply not having a FOID doesn't legally make one ineligible to own a firearm, it's a catch-22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xwing Posted February 10, 2021 at 01:58 PM Share Posted February 10, 2021 at 01:58 PM Dear Senator Morrison:Does you proposal include charging me more money for my FOID card?Are you turning the fee for the FOID into a fine to keep the firearms that I already own?Her answer to both questions is "Yes, of course". Obviously her only goal is to make firearm ownership too expensive for the "masses". Only the elites can pay all the fees she has planned, and she can continue to chip away at gun ownership.
