      Yea, I'm from that Shithole. Reside in the burbs. My Dad grew up living near the Daley's whom 2 generations ruled chicago as mayors. He knew them all. And they were corrupt in the 50's!
      I ask myself how the F---K do they get awa with all this shit. 90+% of this state is red. Republican. But the areas that are libtard controlled(democratic strongholds) are the major cities. Chicago,Peoria,Rockford. Cook County (Chicago's county) is a huge one. It is such a population dense area and, unfortunately, mostly liberal. So the rest of us have no chance. Good ole Rod Blagojevich even sat down and said how corrupt Illinois was when he was governor. This was after President Trump pardoned him.
      Governors and Mayors along with DA's, SA's, comptrollers, chief of police all work together. ILLINOIS has record people leaving it because it's a lost cause!

      SC doesn't have a police force. IF the feds agree with the SC, then they might enforce the ruling (desegregation in the 1960s is a good example). However, in this case, the regime in washington hates gun owners and is all for this type of situation. And IL voters will elect more people in Washington and IL that will expand gun control every year. Newsome in CA signed 18 gun control bills last week. And each one takes years to go through the courts with no guarantee of ever being overturned.

    Illinois is the worst. I had my FOID, CCL and firearms confiscated by chicago police department. There was no arrest and no charges, I went to court and the judge ruled all licenses and legally owned firearms to be returned to me. I work with firearms and part of active shooter prevention. It took weeks to get my FOID and CCL back, all my firearms were returned to me weeks after that. Chicago police department still have my AR10 which i legally purchased and legally owned, i even have a firearms control card so I am able to use the rifle for work but Chicago police department are playing games. Wish me luck as I go back to court in 2 weeks.

      1st and foremost, thank you for your service to this great nation. People like you continue to allow for conversations like this and I am 100% grateful. 2nd, please consider this only as an alternate view and not a personal attack. I am in my 50’s as well and just retired from 28 years in Illinois law enforcement, the last 25+ as a Sheriff’s Deputy and all 28 as a patrolman. I ask you in sincerity…Do you know, off hand, how many of the 102 Sheriff’s in Illinois did not enforce the PICA requirements until it was upheld by the Illinois Supreme Court? 94. 94 of them because they saw it as unconstitutional. Only once it was upheld and became law did they have no choice but to enforce it. Regardless of how they felt constitutionally. I see that as more of a Sheriff being legitimate, patriotic and loyal to their oath to the constitution and to their constituents than I do as being as you suggest. As for Illinois legislators and judges are concerned… subjective based on individual beliefs I suppose. I would appreciate that you not paint LE with such a broad stroke brush. Are there some in every profession, yes. But I bet you could list off some in your profession as easily as I could in mine. Thank you, respectfully, for your reconsideration of this stance.

    I find it funny how police allow unconstitutional laws through. So many people stand to the side when unconstitutional laws are passed, enforced, and followed. The law makers are appointed by us and we allow these type of legislation that hold us back, it’s so unamerican. I grew up in Iowa but worked and lived in Illinois as a paramedic for over 10 years. When I would travel home and wanted to either buy a gun to just look at one in a store I had to give my FOID card to the shop and if I did not have it I was denied to ever hold it. They ask for an ID and if you have one from Illinois they would ask for my FOID. I needed a FOID to even buy ammo, even from a state that does not have these type of laws. So it goes back to this……why do we allow laws that clearly strip us of our rights? Look at the laws that will most likely be overturned soon, like non violent felons losing rights that have nothing to do with anything. These rights for self protection are clear and even courts have determined the police have no obligation to save or protect us and we haven seen where they will stack up armed to the teeth with shields and body armor just to refuse entry while kids die crying for help. They still take away your rights. They went door to door disarming people that wanted to stay back during Katrina. 911 is not a guarantee and if the weather is bad you’ll have to wait and if the providers aren’t safe guess what, they aren’t coming. We had a storm once that dumped 15 inches of snow in under 24 hours and we were not guaranteed to arrive. If you called for 911 you’ll be added to a list and someone depending on need would arrive.

      Absolutely and there’s plenty of people who for whatever reason, misdemeanors or seeking help for depression etc are on a list somewhere and will be auto denied once they apply. No due process in regards to losing their right to own a firearm. It’s all done behind the scenes in an administrative action. I know someone who had some issues 10 years prior with mental health. She took her time and worked on herself over the years, went to apply for a foid about a year ago and was auto denied because she sought help when she was 17. Now she lives in the hood with her first child and has no means to defend herself. Never been charged with any crime and never had a day in court. Never even received noticed that she was on a list for auto denial either, yet they claim they contacted her. Which I highly doubt.

    OK. The IL Supreme Court is right in respect of what I call a "lawyerism": that, as THEY state it, a similar future event happening to THESE plaintiffs is an exercise in speculation. HOWEVER, the case goes to the core of, not just harms or prospective harms to these plaintiffs (and the cost of litigating all this crap and inconveniences and changes in plans due to the FOID card revocations were neither trivial nor moot, now or in any future event), but to the legislation itself and the enforcement action both being unconstitutional. The lower court's permanent injunction was proper and necessary, and if it somehow did not apply to all citizens, it should. In sum, the IL Supreme Court failed at least twice here, first in not upholding an injunction for which there was, in context, an obvious necessity, and second, and more broadly, in not recognizing that the context revealed that the whole bloody FOID card scheme is a massive infringement.
    How these folk achieve public office is beyond me. Surely some voters are deceived, but so many for so long? We The People are explicitly the earthly Sovereign, under God, as those who established the Constitution. We do have the power to throw the rascals out.
    We perhaps need to establish a mechanism whereby, when clearly constitutional questions are brought before a court, the full expenses of deciding such questions (including lawyers for both/all sides) shall be borne by the public. It is, after all, to the public benefit that constitutional questions be decided as promptly, clearly, and broadly as possible. "As applied" claims can be just as important as others, and courts should favor decisions correcting or nullifying bad law; a possible outcome in some decisions could perhaps include a report of the case to the legislative body responsible, signifying the apparent defect - a bug report, if you will. I have read some laws so arcane, convoluted, and just plain wrong that, had the drafts been submitted as law school assignments, someone would justly have flunked. And I'm just a common citizen.
