A national gun violence prevention organization claimed this week that 85 percent of Illinois voters support legislation to require gun dealers to obtain a state license to sell firearms.
The organization called Americans for Responsible Solutions recently surveyed Illinois voters about legislation proposed in Springfield called the Gun Dealer Licensing Act aimed at requiring firearm dealers register with the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, and the results were in favor of the proposal by overwhelming amounts. Of the voters asked downstate, 77 percent said they would support the measure, according to the study. Illinois gun owners supported the measure by 77 percent as well, according to the findings. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
