IL at it again. Changing the FOID Act to be even more nefarious. When applying for or renewing FOID must have 8 hours of approved firearm safety training. Local sherriff/PD has to issue you a permit, to which you must submit fingerprints, in order to purchase a firearm. You can be denied a permit for purchase for any reason that law enforcement agemcy deems a public safety concern. This is what gerrymandering gets you, not abortion bans and voting restrictions. https://ilga.gov/legislation/fullte...=5535&GAID=16&LegID=140060&SpecSess=&Session=
Yet, it is racist to ask legal United States residents to have a voter identification card. I guarantee more people are harmed by illegal voting than are by legal firearm owners/purchasers.
NC has had the sherif approval with fingerprints for years. Interestingly the state Sheriff's groups are now trying to overturn, as effectively the same NICs check is being done for the purchase permit and purchase of gun.
patently un-Constitutional. Disparate impact on poor and minority, who live in areas most likely to be affected by violent crime and also having limited to access to such training. You can bet none of that training will be occurring within City of Chicago limits. Also, the underlined is likely to be ruled illegal by SCOTUS this spring. One of the cases they are reviewing is "may issue" vs. "shall issue." On a bright note, looks like the elimination of the federal SALT deduction is having at least a partial impact - Prickster is set to unveil a freeze on sales tax on grocery bought food, fuel, and also property tax deduction of another $300. Granted it's an election year and will probably snap back once/if he's re-elected.
They say 2,000 Russians caught crossing the border...do you think they were woman with kids in arms?hmmmm...I don't.
