HB 758, which is currently being debated, is being commented on live via Illinois Carry. It has just gone into unlimited debate so it could potentially go on for some time.
The main issue is that it's illegal to sell, buy, or possess a firearm in Illinois w/o a FOID card. A background check is required to get a FOID and the ISP are supposed to take said card if you become ineligible through crime, mental instability, etc. Mandating sales through FFL dealers only makes sales more difficult as Daley, as a MAIG member, the Brady Bunch, Joyce Foundation, et al are committed to suing as many FFL dealers as they can out of business.
So by passing this, the legislation is stating they have no confidence in the ISP to perform their job. And of course the debate is conveniently on the same day as the VT anniversary and when numerous Chicago Aldermen are lobbying the legislature. Nope, no chicanery there.
Update: FAILED. 58 to 58.
Every call and letter counts.
