House Democrats Pass SB1966! "Fix the FOID" Goes to Senate!

Action Needed NOW!

 

SB1966 passed out of the House 62-52 yesterday. The bill demands all law-abiding citzens applying for or renewing a FOID card must submit fingerprintsto the state police. The bill raises the cost of the FOID card from $10 for 10 years to nearly $100 for 5 years: $20 FOID fee + $30 fingerprint fee + $38 FBI background check fee. The bill also bans private firearm sales. The bill now goes to the Senate and can be called for a vote at anytime.

 

This bill also seeks to undo what our friend Otis McDonald fought so hard for in Chicago with McDonald vs Chicago. The bill will keep many law-abiding people in the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods from being able to legally purchase a firearm.

 

The bill will also ban firearm purchases for IL Medical Marijuana card holders. MM users can only purchase firearms through private transfers due to federal law. Once private transfers are banned, so is the right to legally purchase firearms by MM card holders. The same will be true for recreational marijuana users if the recreational use bill passes.

 

Urgent!

 

Call your State Senator, express your opposition to SB1966. Urge your Senator to vote NO! Calls should be made to the Springfield offices.

No answer when calling, Got the assistants voice mail, left polite message asking senator to vote against the bad bill SB 1996. I did call it a poll tax.

 

Not 1996 it is 1966.

I called, multiple times over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately my senator is Harmon.

 

If this passes and gets signed into law, it seems the best path forward to get it struck down through the courts is to have it challenged by a group of minorities who are at or near the poverty level.

 

The same argument can be made about this bill that the left constantly makes against voter ID. They say voter ID is racist because it targets minorities who can't afford an ID, or wouldn't know how to get one, or be able to get to the place to get one.

 

Seems an increase in the costs to exercise your constitutional rights as high as what's stated in the bill warrants a court case if it passes. The lawsuit must come from the group I mentioned above.

Well, FOID cards won't keep dead people from potentially voting. Voted ID, OTOH...….

The Medical Marijuana law, as I understand it, does not prevent a person participating in that program from owning a firearm.

 

 

Does the enactment of SB1966 violate the intent of the The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act in making an afflicted person choose between safe symptom relief through use of cannabis derivatives (as an alternative to using deadly opiates) and the right to be safe in ones home?

 

Does the felonious omission of reporting cannabis use on a 4473 constitute a refusal to testify against one's self, a right guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution?

 

 

More people are now dying from opiate use than from homicides using firearms, so claims that SB1966 serves the public interest of a net saving of lives is clearly false.

In the event the state passes a recreational law, how would they be able to identify a user and ultimately block them from being able to purchase from a LGS? I'm already aware the question comes up on a 4473 but when has that ever stopped someone?

The bright side, as has been pointed out before. If this passes it should be a slam dunk legally. Maybe even help end the FOID completely. It also might wake up a few of the napping Fudds,

 

If the Senate holds fast, it might indicate we still have at least some leverage when worse bills than this come down the line.

Done. Although my senator is Andy Manar, a democrat. He represents the 48th district, including part or all of Christian, Macon, Macoupin, Madison, Montgomery, and Sangamon counties, so he may vote no. I'll be voting against him in 2020 if possible. I'll never vote for a Democrat again as long as I live.

Better to see the light late rather than never.

Nope it does not since you have the option of simply not purchasing the firearm. You don't NEED to do it to comply with the law. Compliance would be answering yes or simply not proceeding with the transfer since it (the firearm) is NOT in your possession when you attest on the 4473. If that logic makes sense heh. It's much different than the state mandating gun registration. THAT is a violation of the 5A Self-incrimination Clause, incorporated and all that jazz, because it requires those who already unlawfully possess a firearm to register it, thereby incriminating themselves as they are forced to report to the state that they illegally possess a firearm. See Haynes v. United States, 390 U.S. 85 (1968). Haynes was a convicted felon and did not register an NFA item. He argued that the registration requirement violated his 5A right against self-incrimination by requiring him to tell the federal government that he's committing a crime and SCOTUS agreed, with only Justice Earl Warren in dissent. That defect in the NFA was cured and litigated in US v. Freed but still (theoretically) prohibits state-level gun registration schemes.Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk

Called our Senator Andy Manar. Left them with our no vote. Assistant said the phones were ringing off the hook. I hope they all refuse to answer. Maybe they are getting the idea.

https://www.lifenews.com/2019/04/26/pro-life-advocate-wants-pro-abortion-democrat-legislator-censured-for-saying-men-should-be-castrated/

 

Pro-life advocate Babette Holder called on Illinois state Rep. Dianne Pappas to be formally reprimanded this week for saying men should be castrated to end abortion.

 

Holder, a pro-life advocate in the black community and president of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, told the DuPage Policy Journal that Pappas comments are unacceptable.

She needs to be censored, she told the news outlet. There needs to be accountability when you make these kinds of statements, and youre supposed to be a public servant.

Pappas is a pro-abortion Democrat who supports a radical new bill that would treat abortion as a fundamental right and strip away even minor protections for unborn babies and medical professionals who object to abortions. Pro-life voters fear the bill could pass with Democrats in control of both state houses and the governors office.

Here that fellas? There are dems that think we should have our nuts chopped off.

 

 

-charge to exercise a right

-fingerprint all gun owners and treat us like criminals

-unrestricted abortion (up until birth)

-cut our nuts off

 

 

HONK HONK!!!! Its the democrat way

 

 

BTW, she voted for SB1966
