Several Chicago Machine Senators have introduced bills to require training to get a FOID card, three bills containing language providing for gun registration, three bills containing language requiring gun insurance (all gun owners carry a liability insurance policy of $1M or more), two gun and magazine bans (exactly like what was shot down last month), an 18% surtax on ammunition and firearm sales, a may issue with proper cause permit system (and the Illinois State Police decides whether your cause is proper enough....as in it's not unless you're politically connected or banging someone politically connected) with a gun ban attached to that one too. Full-on assault on the Bill of Rights, not just the Second Amendment. Here's a list of the bad bad bad bills, if you wanna read the entire bill go to the top and hit "Full Text," but most of them are too long so you've either gotta read the PDF or click on the link it gives you when it tells you it's too long.
SB1709 - Registration of ALL firearms (certificate of registration provided), defines "firearm"
SB1727 - Requires all firearm owners to have liability insurance - minimum $1,000,000. If a firearm is stolen from you, you are still the owner until the loss is reported.
SB1935 - See above (same as SB1727)
SB2325 - Requires firearm safety training (as defined by the ISP, "Firearm Safety Certificate" must be submitted) for all FOID applicants and renewals but exempts those who had a FOID card on 6/1/98 and "certain others", requires firearm liability insurance, 18% surtax on ammo and firearm sales, prohibits multiple gun purchases in a one-month period
SB2342 - Gun and magazine ban w/ registration
aaaaaaand the one that made me vomit, the may issue with cause bill packaged with the same gun ban and registration bill above:
SB2384 - Non-preemptive may-issue with "proper cause" license to carry, ban on FTF sales, training requirement determined by the Illinois State Police (i.e. 200 hours of range time and 100% accuracy on 20 moving targets) and qualification on every single weapon one will carry concealed (the permit will state what guns), ban on personal defense weapons (such as any pistol that one would use as their CCW), gun registration, enhanced penalties enhanced for not reporting lost/stolen firearm(s) w/in 72 hours
