The police are your friends : Illinois state police using FOID database to confiscate guns

COLLINSVILLE, Ill. – During the Illinois State Police’s firearm enforcement blitz this summer, 295 people in southern Illinois were brought into compliance with Illinois gun laws.

During the blitz, ISP focused on people who posed the greatest threat to themselves or others. They conducted more than 1,700 compliance checks across the state which resulted in bringing more than 1,000 people into compliance. In southern Illinois, ISP Districts 6,7, and 8, there were 74 enforcement details consisting of 710 compliance checks. 295 people were brought into compliance with the law.

Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly explained that after a person obtains a firearm legally, circumstances may change, and then the person could become prohibited from possessing a firearm. Some of these circumstances include being convicted of a felony or making threats that endanger public safety. When this happens, these people are identified and their Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) Card is then revoked. Local law enforcement is made aware of the situation and the person is required to give their firearms to law enforcement or someone who can legally possess them. The individual also must fill out a Firearms Disposition Record to be given to ISP. Kelly said thousands of people refuse to comply with these steps.

    You know, like posting a negative comment in a blog or a tweet about the ATF or other oppressive alphahet agency. Or one that is simply critical of our commie slanting government in general. Dangerous!

    I regularly taunt and dare fed-dot-gov to come to my door. I am fine with my name being on the lips of every Patriot when things get froggy.
