In an interview with reporter Greg Bishop, the Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly shared some updated registration numbers for February and March of 2024. Kelly indicated that an additional 682 Illinois gun owners registered regulated “naughty” guns, or parts and accessories.
Given the latest updated number on total FOID holders which now stands at 2,473,655, that means that 98.53% of Land of Lincoln FOID holders registered NOTHING under the so-called Protect Illinois Communities Act gun registry provision.
And only a fool would think that only 1.4% of Illinois gun owners owned America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15 or one of roughly 200 other hot-selling hunting, sporting or self-defense semi-automatic firearms.
Nah, the simple truth is that the great majority of owners of these firearms simply opted not to comply.
Most, but not all, have kept their heads down and remained tight-lipped about continuing to keep their guns.
A few brave souls, including Darren Bailey, have spoken publicly of their refusal to register.
At GSL we recommend keeping a low profile if you still have regulated guns at home.
