And all the police and all the owners and everything they own will be published in the media. Fire arms are personal property!
Personal property is the business of no one else. What I have for a light bulb or sofa is no one's business.  But to make public
what I own is an act of extreme invasion of perosnal  privacy. NExt thing they will demand camera's in your house to watch you.
This is the most egrigious violation of rights. No one can be safe.

HB3500 - FOID ' Fire Arms Owners Identification 'Bill Vote Imminent


HB3500 will come before the Executive Committee at anytime.  This bill is amended to be an exception for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, in order to keep firearms ownership information private.  Under this bill, information about those who have applied for or received a Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) shall not be disclosed unless it is necessary as part of a criminal investigation. 

This bill is needed since the Illinois Attorney General's office decided that FOID holder data is public information that cannot be withheld from a FOIA request, in this case one that was filed by the Associate Press.  The Illinois State Police has long held that this is private information since the implementation of the FOID Act began over 40 years ago.

We could see a vote at any time, so please call members of the Senate Executive Committee at once to express your wish to keep your FOID information private!

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

—Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

"Terrorism is the best political weapon, for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death."
-- Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) German Nazi Dictator
 

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in
