Attention Gun Owners!
New legislation reveals real intent of gun control advocates.
Recently filed legislation (Floor Amendment #1 to HB 96) is a giant leap toward fire arm registration. It also dramatically increases the cost of a FOID card as well as over-complicating the FOID card process well beyond what it already is.
This
bill is intended to punish honest gun owners.
This is what the gun grabbers want! They want to discourage honest people from owning firearms. Make no mistake, this legislation is one of the most outrageous gun control bills to date!
The legislation would substantially increase cost of a FOID card (currently $10 for a 10-year license) and over-complicate the
process by:
-
- Mandating fingerprinting as a requirement to obtain/renew a FOID card – minimum of $35 charge to cover fee for federal background check and those costs be as high as $100;
- Increasing FOID card renewals by 100 percent by reducing the renewal time from 10 years to 5 years;
- Mandating FOID applications be made in person at ISP – with only 21 ISP districts, this would be a hardship for many gun owners.
- Requiring private firearm sales/transfers go through a licensed dealer – prohibits loaning firearms for hunting/recreational shooting & creating a de facto firearm registry;
