Lawmakers propose requiring fingerprints for gun ownership, doubling FOID fees to reduce gun violence
State Sen. Ram Villivalam’s amended Senate Bill 568 would double the cost of receiving a FOID card to $20 and cut the expiration date in half to five years. In addition, it would also require the cardholder to submit them to the Illinois State Police.
Another major change in the legislation would require that any change in ownership of a firearm be conducted through a licensed gun dealer. That includes inheriting firearms from a deceased family member or if two FOID cardholders consent to a loan between them.
The bill would also add another act in which a cardholder could have their privileges removed. In addition to threats or acts of physical violence to someone or themselves identified by a medical official, school or law enforcement, it includes any “act that is intended to cause or create a risk and does cause or create a risk of death or great bodily harm to one or more persons.”

The racist history of the FOID act is alive and well today.

The Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force that is "required" to be created by this bill will be targetting communities of color, make no mistake.



Everytown is out pretending that this is a great fix, without mentioning anything about the fee increases or fingerprint requirements.


Also, last I checked, the 2nd Amendment isn't a "privilege".

Cop to Drunk: What are you looking for?
Drunk: M' car keys.
Cop: you lost them here?
Drunk: No (waving vaguely), over there.
Cop: Why are you looking here?
Drunk: The light's better here.

IOW, totally inappropriate solution to a problem, like attacking Iraq because Afghanistan harbored Al Qaeda.

Passed the Illinois House. Headed to the Pritzker's desk.
Local gun dealers react to Illinois House passage of FOID bill
Among its many new provisions, the law would require private gun buyers to report their purchase to a gun dealer, who would keep the records on file for 20 years.
“We have to keep the record but we had nothing to do with the transfer itself. We’ve never seen the firearm, don’t know what was transferred or anything that transpired… We’re responsible to keep a record for 20 years, but we don’t know what we’re keeping a record of,” he said.

The bill would also let gun owners who voluntarily submit their fingerprints get automatic FOID card renewals. The card will also be digital and can be carried on a smartphone.
