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. These elected servants were given the opportunity to "Serve," not "Rule" |

The cost of obtaining a FOID card should be identical to the cost of obtaining a voter registration card. Anything else is unconstitutional. But of course Illinois' draconian gun control has made everyone safer by far. Just look at how well it's done in Chicago for example. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
