Submit your insurance info annually or they revoke your FOID. Q: "But I don't own guns. Why do I need insurance?" A: "You might have an incident at a range." They will find the ways.

The non-facetious version would be super-expensive by default, but it would provide for substantial discounts based on the number of firearms you register and your willingness to submit to annual safe storage inspections. Said registration and inspections would need to be handled through a legally authorized government agency, of course.

Do you recall why? Creating a task force seems like a no-brainer for them since it doesn't actually do anything besides spend money. Unless, of course, it was blocked by the gun grabbers who wanted to jump straight to mandatory insurance, no task force required.

Well, that's good. It will be 2029 or so when Barnett / Bevis get there.

It wasn't on the order list today, so it'll get rescheduled... again. Edit - by the way, the next conference day is Friday February 20. Pfft, what's another month?

Well, you don't want to buy firearm insurance. How else is the state supposed to cover the cost of damages?

As the meme says, "They're the same picture."

ISRA sent out a tweet thread about it a few minutes ago. First tweet here. Threadreaderapp unroll link follows. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2010832019618742767.html

This would be true if there were injunctions that halted gun control measures like PICA until the courts fully heard them out (and, man, would THAT have sped things up), but several years of lost liberty is the only path forward for pro-2A people in Illinois.

It's the last act of "not going silently" that scares the crap out of everyone, probably even more so than going silently. That's why we're pinning our hopes on the third box of liberty, not the fourth one.

If it should be a total win in Chicago, why hasn't it happened yet? I won't pretend to understand everything about Chicago politics from my hazy, distant suburban viewpoint, but I haven't seen any indication anywhere (other than here) that Chicagoans would welcome voiding the FOID. Any attempt to push a bill through the House or Senate dies on the vine.
