2nd Amendment

Illinois is the only state in the region that requires a Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card to possess a firearm and/or buy ammunition (the constitutionality of that requirement being challenged at the State Supreme Court).

What do you think the reaction would be if we were all told that in order to post our thoughts on social media, or even speak out loud outside our own homes, we needed to pay the state to do so?

The Illinois State Police say the average time for FOID (Firearm Owners Identification) card processing is 116.35 days. FOID cards are supposed to be processed within 30 days.
