Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is demanding that state police RELEASE THE NAMES OF EVERY PERSON IN ILLINOIS WHO HOLDS A FIREARM OWNER'S IDENTIFICATION CARD (FOID).
To own a gun in Illinois, you must register for an FOID card. Up until now, the list of names has been kept private by state police, but Attorney General Madigan's office says the public has "a legitimate interest" in knowing the names of registered gun owners.
The only "legitimate interest" is by anti-gun zealots who want to restrict and eventually ELIMINATE your right to own a gun
This is an INVASION OF PRIVACY.
In September, the Associated Press requested the names of each FOID cardholder through the Freedom of Information Act. State police said no... and now Attorney General Madigan has ruled the names can be made public.
Republicans have sponsored legislation in both the House and Senate arguing that gun owner information should be kept secret.
A sponsor of such legislation, Rep. Ron Stephens, (R-Greenville) says, "You can own a handgun, and information about whether you do or don't is private information. There is no reason for anyone or any government agency to make available to you or anyone else whether I have a FOID card."
On Tuesday, Stephens' bill failed 5-5 in committee---so we need to take action immediately and make sure we register our opposition to this infringement of the Constitutional rights of Gun Owners in IL.

Makes it easier for ZOG to track down the "criminals" when martial law is declared and all white gun owners must give up their guns or go to prison or be shot. Then the only people with guns will be the savage, sub-human minorities and cops.

i dont see a problem with requiring an identification card for owning a gun. i have to have an identification card to operate a vehicle... both can be deadly weapons. i even have to have an identification card to borrow library books... when libraries started having library cards, nobody thought the government was tryin to take away their books...
