Are you ready? The anti-gun folks in the Illinois General Assembly have come out with the Aurora Gun Omnibus "Pro-Gun" Safety bill. You like the title? It's pro-gun! Who can be opposed to pro-gun safety, right?
It's tentative, but here's the highlight of the contents.
- Increase the FOID card fee from $10 for 10 years to $50 for 5 years. That's a 1000% fee hike.
- Require local law enforcement to get a warrent to seize FOID card and firearms from household of anyone who has failed to comply with revocation order.
- Fail to comply with a revocation order becomes a felony.
- ISP can deny or revoke a FOID card for anyone charged with making a terrorist threat or material support for terrorism. A terrorist threat could be as simple as "I'm gonna blow this place up!" Or this…
- Mandatory fingerprinting for FOID and carry license applications. That'll cost you about $100 or more. And multiply that times 2.5 million FOID holders, that's a QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLAR TAX to own guns.
- Mandatory in-person FOID applications. So you think the Illinois Secretary of State's customer service sucks, wait until you have to take a number and stand/sit in line for hours on end to get a FOID card. Or a renewal.
- Makes failure to call in a private gun sale a felony. There is currently no penalty for failure to comply.
You still think you don't need to go to Illinois Gun Owner Lobby Day next Wednesday?
C'mon. Get off the couch. Take a day off work and come to Springfield. This is some really important stuff going down.
