effing lame

It looks to be no worse than what we have now in IL, and that isn't really much of a problem.

In fact, the next time you find yourself in (outstate) IL, go into a gun shop and ask what they think of the FOID law. Every gun seller that I've asked likes the law. You can hand a potential customer a firearm for inspection, and you have a really good idea that he's not going to run out the door with it. That's because you have to show the FOID card (or out-of-state identification) before you can touch the firearm in the store.

What a joke. Emailing now. Will call tomorrow.

pile of BS
thats all i can say

I don't give a rat's a$$ what a "gun seller" likes or doesn't. The 2nd wasn't written with retailers in mind.

If this is a problem for the 2nd, why isn't the category of "prohibited persons?"

seems like a good idea to me.

why would i want to shoot someone?

the people i know who own guns are all for licensing and registration. its no different than owning a car. (and i didn't see anything in there about insurance)

Do you really want every nut in the country to legally carry a gun ???

Do you have any better ideas on how to keep guns out of the hands of psychopathic killers ?

Ya, gotta have a lisence to chatch a fish, why not to carry a gun ?

I would rather the guy go to prison for sipmle illegal possesion of a weapon then wait till after he commits murder.

A psychopathe will have no trouble getting a gun, these laws only hinder law abiding citizens, much like locks on your front door

May be I am missing the part that infringes a right to own a weapon. Seems like I have to do pretty much the same things to own a car or buy a house, get a drivers license.... etc.

I didn't know that your car was used for self protection and ownership was constitutionally guaranteed.

I don't see anything here that will take guns away from people who comply with the law. Besides, having a car is more important than having a gun, and cars have to be registered so why not register guns too. Please save the conspiracy theories for your kids.
