Why do you think they don't want gangs talking? Such confuse!!!
Oh yeah the choice of domain names is a whole other thing that probably should have been reviewed as well

OTOH the news coverage is giving Florence Gun Shop some nice, free advertising.
Somewhat OT but who proofread that card before printing? The first item isn't even a valid URL, the Wordpress and Ning URLs shouldn't have www in front of them (Wordpress and Ning will sanitize the link so it works though) and generally using www isn't considered best practice anymore, in fact most people of my generation would call it a "Boomer thing" to use it at all.

It is entirely unclear if this is a "Modest Proposal" that is not intended to be acted upon, or if it is an actual plan that the left is working to bring to fruition...
I think it has to be a Modest Proposal, because it simply couldn't work. If we made a state out of each neighborhood in DC and then passed the proposed amendments, that would set the minimum district size for the House as the population of the smallest neighborhood. I can't find population stats for individual neighborhoods, but if we take the ward with the smallest population (Ward 7, population 77,456) and assume that population is divided equally among its 31 neighborhoods that means a House representative can represent no more than about 2500 people, which would mean the House would need to have 136,000 members to ensure equal-sized districts nationwide. It would also set a similar minimum size for their proportional Senate, assuming each state has to have at least 1 Senator it would mean a 136,000-person Senate as well.

As I am not into gunsmithing, would you care to put that into plain English so I can understand it?
The presence of a third hole (for the auto sear pin) is how the ATF differentiates a semiautomatic AR-15 from an automatic M16. (so if you drill it, you don't want to tell anyone)

if you smoked pot when you were 16 and your now 50 your an unlawful user and effectively banned from purchasing a firearm for life?
I believe the ATF interpretation is any use in the last 12 months makes you a current "user," after 12 months you are clear again.

Full faith and credit clause
There are multiple interstate compacts regulating driver's license reciprocity.
The full faith and credit clause is in respect to records, not licenses. It would apply to using a DL as identification in another state, but not as a license to operate a motor vehicle.

My driver's license works in every state why doesn't my CCW?????? Especially now that Bruen nuked the 2-step nonsense.
Driver's licenses are example of voluntary reciprocity working the way it should, but CCW never did work that way. Whether Bruen will change that is too early to tell, we are still waiting on the cases that got GVR'd to be decided again, let alone any new cases.

Sooooo, if you have a gun in your home already and you don’t have a FOID it’s unconstitutional to require it.
BUT its not unconstitutional to need one to buy a gun. So this would only protect those that never got a FOID to cover their already owned guns?
I guess it would apply to someone who had a FOID, bought a gun, and then let the FOID expire. Or someone who moved from out of state with guns and never got a FOID.

I already explained my position here, basically it means the mere presence of a firearm isn't sufficient evidence for the state to deduce how it got there (which pretty much should go without saying, but here I am having to say it anyway)Sorry but I can't get my head wrapped around that idea. If it is ok to posses a firearm in the home without a FOID card , then how did the firearm get there ? You can't buy a firearm without a FOID card , it is not legal for someone to loan or give you a firearm without you having a FOID card , and you certainly can't buy any ammo for the firearm without a FOID card.
Pure stupidity!!!!!
Plus there are plenty of ways for the firearm to be there without an intentional crime being committed: Family member had a FOID and passed away. Firearm was purchased very long ago before FOID was a thing. Person moved from out of state with the gun and never got a FOID. Give me some time and I can probably think of more
As for ammo, almost any state in the union will sell you ammo without needing to see your FOID
-
My interpretation is you can still be convicted for not having a FOID for anything beyond simple possession inside your home, and the case was remanded because striking the entire statute was overkill
Typically, if portions of a law are unconstitutional, the law is striken, and it is up to the legislators to craft a new law that is compliant. To suggest portions of the law don't pass muster, but leave it alone and just rule the defendant not guilty is crazy.
The take away of their action here suggests, you do NOT need a FOID if you have firearms in your home. However, they purposely left off the part about how one would acquire a gun to bring into your home for said self-defense, and/or how you would obtain ammo as well. Clearly, they are smart enough to understand what they were doing.
Essentially, this ruling was crap shows to what lengths card carrying Democrats will go to support their Anti-2A keystone.
My understanding is the opposite, severability doctrine is the standard and only an inseverability clause would actually necessitate the striking of the entire law (although its sometimes done anyway, when no part of the law is found to be effectively severable) A recent example are the SCOTUS rulings on the Affordable Care Act and the Voting Rights Act, where they only struck portions of the laws
As for getting the gun to your house, basically it means that prosecutors would need specific evidence of how you obtained the gun, simply possessing it isn't sufficient evidence to prove a crime
-
Jeez, how can anyone suggest that the law that was used to prosecute someone is good to stand, but you cannot convict her for breaching it?
What the hey!!!W-T-F kind of Illinois Democratic Machine brain dead logic is that?Very Good Point.

How many loaded guns can you carry in ILL with CCL?
There is no statutory limit, so technically as many as you can conceal
-
I believe he will not need one until he is 18 (or 21, as the laws seem to be trending) and old enough to own firearms in his own right (until then they are technically your guns, he just uses them) but you can get a FOID for him at any age
-
Here is a screenshot of the online form that requires DL or State ID - you can't continue the process without entering a State ID or DL number:
This is probably because they pull the photo from your existing ID to put on the FOID

And if I were a legislator in another state, I'd be fighting for my constituents rights, first and foremost and against states that deny the rights of my citizens.
I don't think you understand the concept of "rights", if you think your constituents should have some privilege that others do not.
Huh? I said I'd want my constituents to have the SAME rights when they visit Illinois that Illinois citizens have when they visit my state. No more, no less. It's an unknown concept to Illinoisans, but some legislators in other states actually treat their constituents as citizens and not subjects and they fight for their people.
It's hard for others to understand, but some legislators treat all people like people and don't play tit for tat with their rights

In either case the answer to a denial of rights is not more denial of rights

Quid pro quo shouldn't be required when rights are considered. If that's the approach that you take they are no longer rights, they are little more than a courtesy extended to cronies

More guns in the good guy's hands is good for Minnesota residents.
Plus politicians not being vindictive [redacted] is good for everyone

Teenagers having children ?
My mom could have been on 16 and Pregnant, if MTV had been a thing when she was pregnant with me >_>

There is no age requirement - as their parent or guardian you can apply for a FOID for them the day they are born.
As long as the parents are eligible for a FOID, so teen parents still need their own parents permission lol

Ya, it looks like each kid must have a separate account - unique login.
Also a change from previous years - your kids must have a valid state license or state ID. They didn't need to have state IDs before IIRC.
How does that work for younger kids? Those of us with children far too young to drive will still likely want to get the FOIDs due to the protections provided in the law.
You can get them a state ID at any age, I think I had a state ID at a 8 years old

Wasn't the Volcanic a lever-action? Since its not semiautomatic it wouldn't need to registered regardless of magazine size I believe.
