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The “Fix the FOID Act” bill would create a special police task force to round up guns from people whose permits have been revoked.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
"You seem ... to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all contitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy... The Contitution has erected no such single tribunal." --Thomas Jefferson, 1820
