State Representative Darren Bailey (R-Xenia) voted NO on Wednesday on sweeping gun control legislation. Senate Bill (SB) 1966 as amended, will impact at least 2.4 million Illinois citizens who currently hold a Firearm Owner I.D. (FOID) cards and Concealed Carry License (CCL) and any future citizens who wish to exercise their U.S. Constitutional 2nd Amendment right.
“I promised to defend the Constitution, and our Second Amendment rights are under attack again in Illinois,” Bailey said. “This was an easy NO vote on a proposal to mandate fingerprinting and background checks, increase fees and expand court-ordered revocations of FOID cards and concealed carry licenses.” |

| Constitutional Rights are to be served by the state, not suppressed by it. No law abiding citizen should be charged a license fee for, and taxed by the State, in order to exercise a Freedom granted by the Federal Constitution. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
