mauserme Posted May 21, 2019 at 02:08 PM Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 at 02:08 PM She explains that the bill is a (knee jerk) reaction to recent events in Aurora. She starts by eplaining that revoked FOID cardsare difficult to handle, without acknowledging that doing away with the FOID system would solve that problem The bill requires fingerprinting, at the expense of the applicant It raises the FOID fee 1,000% It requires universal background checks, which actually means private transfers would be illegal. The cost of FFL transfers would be borne by the seller/purchaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauserme Posted May 21, 2019 at 02:11 PM Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 at 02:11 PM She further states that the increased fees would cover the cost of enforcing revocations, again, a simpler solution being to rid ourselves of the FOID Act which is already in peril, and rely on NICS.

In speaking of "illegal guns" he speaks to a system similar to pointing to a duck, calling the duck illegal, then celebrating the number of illegal ducks they've seized.
