...great post! thanks!!!...

Great post. For my birthday my husband is going to take me to a firing range to try out some of their guns. When he called them up he was told I needed a FOID card to use the range. Luckily I have a friend with a card and gun so I still can learn to shot. But it seems to me that I should be able to try out different guns before I know which one is best for me.

My favorite is: "I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6".

[Still Thinking]

Why on earth would you need a Firearm Owners ID card to go to a range and shoot guns they own on their property?

[TERMINATTOR]

So her name will be included on the list for the "re-education camps" (gulags) after confiscations are complete! Or so they think, anyway.

Molon Labe!

In Illinois you cannot even handle a gun in a store without a FOID. Nor buy ammunition. And forget about concealed carry -- only the bad guys do that.

Illinois, home of Chicago, the 2003 murder capital. We're #1! We're #1!

Who says the police protect and serve? The can't be everywhere. Usually they are too busy with paperwork at crime scenes to do all that.

12. The second Amendment is in place , in case they ignore the others.

My favorite, thanks for posting.

In NYC the police are peeking behind cabinets and under desks to find the hidden ashtrays.

Illinois law can't touch a weapon and ammo unless you have a foid.

Just thank the pubbies and the mob (Daley demo rats)

[CJ Wolf]

Case in point, why #23 should not be in the list.

[dts32041]

Put like politicians are exempt from suits for failing to perform their basic function.

[from occupied ga]

I take issue with #23

23. Enforce the "gun control laws" we have, do not make more.

REPEAL the gun control laws we have now, don't enforce them

25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

Actually it started with gun control. The British at Concord were on their way to steal the colonials weapons.

[AngryJawa]

How the IL gun regs are NOT a violation of the Second Ammendment is completely beyond my comprehension. Why the citizenry of Illinois (expecially downstaters) have allowed this to happen is amazing.

I believe that Washington DC has won that title for the last several years.

Truth be told, the 2nd amendment only applies to the federal government. Each state is ruled by it's own constitution when it comes to guns.

For example, in Illinois the state constitution reads:

SECTION 22. RIGHT TO ARMS
"Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Your state constitution (Georgia) reads:
Paragraph VIII. Arms, right to keep and bear.
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, but the General Assembly shall have power to prescribe the manner in which arms may be borne."

Ever thought about why certain cities, like Chicago, New York, LA, can ban guns? Not just ban concealed carry, but ban the ownership and possession within city limits? That's the reason.

Here's an interesting (and controversial) article.

"The Second Amendment right to bear arms, however, has never been incorporated by the Court into the Fourteenth Amendment. The result is that today the Second Amendment, whatever it may mean, operates to restrict only the power of the federal government. The states remain unfettered by the Amendment's limitations. They remain essentially free to regulate arms and the right to bear them as they choose, in the absence of strictures in their own state constitutions and laws."

Lest you think otherwise, let me assure you I'm a card carrying member of the NRA, gun owner, and deadly with a Colt SAA at 25ft.

Speaking of exemptions, when a criminal is let off on parole by some judge or parole official and the criminal goes and rapes and wastes some people, why can't that particular official be held responsible?
