IL: ‘Fix the FOID Act’ bill could have saved lives in Aurora

The “Fix the FOID Act” bill would create a special police task force to round up guns from people whose permits have been revoked. It would require that FOID applicants be fingerprinted, at an average cost of about $28, and pay for background checks. It would make FOID cards good for five years instead of the current 10.

None of these modest measures would impose an undue burden on anybody’s Second Amendment right to own a gun.

But they might have saved the lives of five people in Aurora on Feb. 15, 2019.

FOID card? A Rights License?
No law abiding citizen should ever be forced to purchase a license, charged a fee for, or taxed in order to exercise any "Right" freely granted by the Constitution.

For antigunners, there's no such thing as a "undue burden on anybody' second amendment rights."
ANY burden is TOTALLY JUSTIFIED ---- [i]INCLUDING CONFISCATION. [/i]
Aside from that, we all know bureaucracies always work perfectly and efficiently and NEVER screw up a citizen's life ..... right?

Most gun control schemes operate under the assumption that if you make it impossible for someone to legally obtain a firearm they will simply give up.
How well has that worked in the war on drugs?
And how well is the FOID process working in Chicago which is in Illinois last time I looked?
The fact is that gun control laws only affect those who are inclined to obey the law. They certainly are not going to stop anyone bent on murder.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been saved if the people had not been "brainwashed" about gun ownership and they had been well armed. Hitler's thugs and goons were not very brave when confronted by a gun. Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag, half starved group of Jews took up 10 handguns and made asses out of the Nazi's. — Theodore Haas, former prisoner of the infamous Dachau prisoner concentration camp
