Hillary Clinton's Gun Control Proposals

[Tom Servo]

She is trying to set up the issue to attack Bernie, according to some.

I'm all for that. In the meantime, her campaign alienates moderate voters and gun-owning Democrats.

It's getting harder for them to say, "we're not coming for your guns" with a straight face.

In Illinois you can easily check if a FOID is valid for free at the ISP web site. You just enter the FOID card number and the date of birth of the holder and it tells you if it's valid. No information about a gun is entered, or even if a transfer is made. I've checked my own just for kicks.

I wouldn't have an objection to a national system like Coburn proposed, so long as it was free to both buyers and sellers.

eta: There is no penalty in Illinois if you don't use the FOID verification system but if you do use it you are immune from any criminal or civil offenses from the sale of the gun. It's more carrot than stick.

Hopefully not all our guns!!!
