Interesting Proposal
Cook County’s new state’s attorney is proposing a new law that would help people charged with illegally possessing firearms get a license so they can own the weapons legally. Eileen Burke’s office revealed the idea on Friday.
First-time gun offenders charged with a low-level firearms violation could “get into compliance with the law” if they complete a diversion program under the proposal, according to the announcement. Anyone accused of possessing machine guns, an increasingly common situation in Chicago, would not be eligible.
So instead of forever forfeiting the Right to legally own a gun upon conviction, the CCSA would have an education class and walk people through the process to obtain an FOID card? Will they be returning the seized firearm that resulted in charges or are they making people (and folks) buy another one through lawful channels to collect tax revenue and another off-the-books registry?
And does this have anything to do with the second or third recent loss regarding the FOID card

Foid and CCl are unconstitutional. If the person has no IR they shouldn’t have to ask the state for permission to carry a firearm when they already have that right. It should be a misdemeanor if anything. I don’t know why people like to sandbag these people who have no IR with a felony UUW for excersising their constitutional right.
Whole thing is more zero consequences bullshit.
I don't agree with the FOID, but it is what it is in Hellinois and I went through the process and got one.
It's relatively inexpensive, probably less than a pack of cigarettes these days, do the whole thing online, upload a picture.
Thousands upon thousands of residents have done it, so can Pookie.
That Pookie felt he didn havta do shit! Shouldn't give him a pass to anything but prison for 10 years.
Start locking these J/O's up - bring back Project Exile.
But you know, Democrats. Never saw a criminal they wouldn't give a 92nd chance to on the odd possibility that they'll gain a vote.

What's This? A Good Gun Bill in Illinois?
Feb 10, 2025
Usually, when talking on anything in Illinois we have nothingbutbad news. This is not the case here.. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses HB 2587, a piece of legislation that would exempt CCL holders from the state's 72 hour waiting period. It's a good piece of legislation, but what are the chances that it actually becomes law? Well, this is the State of Illinois so we better not hold our breath. But learn more today and arm yourself with education.

If this was actually done on a case by case basis, where all factors are considered before sending a case to this diversion program, it could be a reasonable change. We all know that it will be used and abused to get violent criminals diverted instead of some poor schmuck who just happened to get caught with a gun that he never intended to use to commit any violence. It's still Cook County in beautiful Illinois after all.
When the assholes get their FOID and CCL they’ll start shooting Peoples or Folks. Those additional shootings will just make the legit FOID/CCL look bad as a group thereby confirming what demoRats have always said that the streets will run red with blood and that it’ll be like the wild wild West. Never let a good crisis go to waste. Then the calls will go out for stricter gun control laws. There’s always an ulterior motive when demoRats do something that appears to benefit us.
The Democrat’s never want to enforce gun laws. The rather take away the good guy and girls guns.

The bill is introduced by the authors or the Safe-T-act.
What more is there to say.
Time to leave.
You voted for democrats and their..."gun safety laws"...you got it.
Simple...get rid of the FOID nonsense...arrested Felon/crime ...off you go
Oklahoma has open carry...no need to ask to defend yourself or feel secure, It's your Right !

Hector say...We want lawyer and sums mooney...card not work...need refill
You’re the type of goof that will go along to get along. I’m sure you are quite content to remain in Illinois until your last breath. Pathetic.
Her true colors come to light.
well, if you look at some of the arrest, these young "runners and gunners" are sandbagging people with CCL's from other states, or make up their own rules on transporting a firearm, or accusing a CCL holder they didn't tell them quick enough that they had a CCL, just to get a gun inventoried to their name.
It has everything to do with it.
Constitutional carry in Florida is awesome!
I thought she said she would be "tough on crime!" Hmm did soros cash crew get to her also?
Or we could just stop infringing on the constitution and allow for constitutional carry.
Tell that to all these 3 year wonders arresting citizens that are legally carrying just because they don’t have an IL CCL
Illinois will be losing bigly under Trump!
State is trying to preemptively give themselves some wiggle room.
FOIDS are unconstitutional! People are winning in court battles all over the state. Starting to smell like freedom around here! That's why they can't stand Trump. He is for We The People!
IQ Baseline at age 12 = 1 = Avg. If 12 year old can take full care of a dog, cattle & cistern they can Take Full Care of a Gun. That's the logic that Founded the US Constituion. If you never reach Baseline of 1 you need supervision always else the Family farm & The Constitution are Lost.
She’s no better than her predecessor. FOID is now gone. Well until the losers find another way to make us bend over.

Only a Democrat could be that stupid. Defund the whole law enforcement , police, courts and prosecutors.
More bs from the democrats. What’s next. You get caught with drugs and they help you get a prescription
You still need an FOID card to buy the ammo for the gun in the home.
Exactly!!!
Doesn't matter, do you believe in the 2nd amendment or not? Every citizen should have the right to carry!!!
Drove about 40 minutes north today and brought home 2,000 rounds of 9mm for practice without an FOID nor a $0.05 cent per bullet tax. It's called Wisconsin.
The State's attorney proposal to restore gun rights to some convicted felons is a movement gaining traction in the courts in light of the 2023 landmark Bruen decision. And others. A Federal district court declared some machine gun laws unconstitutional. The Court also clipped regulatory agencies ability to write laws by overturning the Chevron Deference case. A move in Congress to deregulate silencers is on the table. Courts have ruled against requiring permission to own firearms. I am surprised the FOID still stands.
So gangbangers should have the right to carry according to you, even though they are shooters and their wrongful actions impact good citizens negatively.
Not all gangbangers are incarcerated forever, they get released, and they shoot again when they get out. But you’re willing to allow them to carry. And yeah I believe and support the 2A. But even I know there should be exclusions under special circumstances.
Not at all. I actively work to get the dumb thing overturned. But I'm not about to go to prison because some Democrat decides to make an example of me. And nope, not in Hellinois any longer - got the fuck out a while back.
I prefer a Pike, or a Mace
