The local Moms Demand Action chapter will head to Springfield later this month to push for tighter FOID card laws before the end of session. Sarah Breeden is the co-legislative lead for the McLean County chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. She said the organization supports the Fix the FOID Act (HB 96 Amendment 1), which promises to tighten gun laws following February's warehouse shooting in Aurora. Illinois State Police admitted to wrongly issuing the Aurora shooter a FOID card despite a felony conviction for aggravated assault. |

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. |

Again, no provision for comments, so I'll vent here.
In point-of-fact, FOID laws are facially unconstitutional. No government can require permission to exercise what has now been recognized by precedent as a fundamental right.
They scream about voter ID, but insist on gun owner ID.
Non sequitur.
But then, anti-2A activists have never been distinguished by an affinity for logic. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
