I wonder if they have the desire or energy to do anything. It appears to some shooters that the top administration views their positions as retirement jobs.

Does anyone know what ISRA is doing, or has done, about the extra-legal activities of state government? I contacted my state rep’s office to inform them of the practice. They were unaware of it.

I’ve now managed to speak with several dealers who have reported that the delay we receive is the usual response from ISP when a person is buying a gun. Most valid FOID card holders get delayed in the dealer’s experience. None of them know why, but they all speculated providing various reasons. None can be confirmed. Regardless the reason, the effect is more gatekeeping by a police authority. So I question, why do I draw a delay when I buy a gun, but not when I buy ammunition at Walmart? Also, since ISP runs every FOID card holder every day on NICS what takes days to clear? How did the ISP spend the tax money it received to “fix” the FOID system? Why is ISP slower now than before they “fixed” it? These are rhetorical questions for discussion and thought. Just like the dealers I spoke with I have my speculations as well. Just like them none of my suspicions can be confirmed either.

For clarity, I received my first FOID in 1968. My experience is that I’ve never ran into this before. I haven’t bought a gun from a dealer for four years. But, my question stands. Has this practice by the state drawn the attention of the ISRA or any other organization? Has anyone considered that a civil right delayed is a right denied.

Being naive I have to ask if these delays drawn the attention of ISRA or any other organization yet? Politicians?

Thanks for the quick replies. I should have considered NICS knowing that the “Chicago” effect, after eating into the soul of Illinois, has bored its way into the core of national government as well. Delay by design or incompetence? Either way it is a right denied.

Have people been running into abnormal delays for FOID clearances lately? Yesterday I bought a gun from my local dealer and was confronted with a delay from ISP. I’ve never had this happen before. Today I went back to store and learned that I still have not cleared and also that eight people who bought guns yesterday at that store all received delays. Because this involves the State of Illinois I can reasonably assume someone’s brother-in-law or the politically connected IT wizard screwed it up or just forgot to go to work so I’m not jumping to a conspiracy theory. But, I have to ask if has it happened to anyone else? Anyone else experience this? Thanks.

With only three justices in decent ( guess which ones ) the bump stop ban just went down. Thomas delivered the Majority Opinion with clarity. He gets it.

Mauser and Molly, Thank you for your continuous service to all of us. Many of us really appreciate your persistence and dedication to our cause.

Thank you for doing this everyday.

Thank you once again for the alert.

If it were anything other than a Biden Justice Department one might expect conversations, while awaiting sentencing, that might include relating past indiscretions with others suspected of having conspired with the alderman to commit this or other crimes. Never seeing the grandchildren again can be a great motivator as can the penitentiary one goes to. But, with President Roomba’s DOJ, they’re most likely going to isolate Ann and make sure he goes to Club Fed. I wouldn’t look for a Trump pardon, but the potato might grant one on his last day. We must always remember that Barry Obama got his start in politics on Chicago’s south side.

My presumption is that the hearings will really serve as an attempt to portray the state as concerned and listening to the public. It will make them seem fair in the eyes of the progressive left in the cities. On its face, the time will be waisted on political theater for the benefit of JaBa the Putz and his fellow travelers. It’s also another fund raising opportunity for ISRA who will never let a crisis go to waste when there is a potential to make a buck
