Illinois Gun Registration

we retirees who SUPPOSEDLY got an exemption, were told to register. Go figure. I have no idea how that's working out for <them>. And just for an FYI.... 2 ISP Academy classes graduated today. A total of 20, count them, 20 cadets graduated and were sworn in. I'd bet more than 20 are retiring each week and at this rate, there is no way numbers of Troopers will ever catch up to the need. Troops knocking on our doors?!?!? They don't have the manpower, can't seem to recruit the manpower, and it just ain't gonna happen.
You say that, but they just lower the standards. It seems now they only want to hire people who will do what they’re told by the politicians and ass kissers
regardless of right or wrong . Long gone are the days of the cop who can think for himself and help someone out.
 
Most likely said 100 times. These Gun laws and Not about Crime.
The laws are all little steps to all out Gun Confiscation.
All out Control of the People.
I hope and Pray this never comes to USA.
All those New Democrat's Coming in from the South are not a good sign !!!!!

Starting January 1st
HB 3751: Non-citizens who are legally allowed to work in the U.S. will now be eligible to become police officers.
Not being from Illinois I had not heard of this bill. I tried to go and read the text of the bill but I get “page is not available.” I did read this article:
https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-illinois-police-officers-illegal-immigrants-law-1816306

All I can say is Wow.

This quote from the article sums up my thoughts perfectly: “...a bill to allow illegal immigrants to become police officers, giving non-citizens the power to arrest citizens in our state,...No sane state would allow foreign nationals to arrest their citizens, this is madness!"

There are some things seriously wrong in Illinois.

This is about changing the culture of US Law Enforcement, replacing patriot citizen LEOS with individuals who have no connection to or love for the nation or its citizens. Same as is being done with the military.

One problem getting police officers is the candidate passing the background check and the physical. Too many brushes with the law and too many Big Macs. How in hell are they going to background check ILLEGAL aliens?
I
 
When it comes time to go door to door and collect them, they won't have to pass a background check. They will just do like Putin and recruit from death row in the prisons. After all do you think due process applies to law abiding gun owners?

I could tell you how totally wrong you are, but you wouldn't believe me, so I won't. But I will say there is a world of difference between the cop on the street and some liberal politician who thinks he/she is going to save the world. I can't give you or anyone else here access to the ISP Retiree page on turdbook but they are almost universally disgusted with the way things are today. And that includes Command officers as well as those like myself who were not on the cherished path to glory, fame & stardom.
 
I'm not looking for an arguement, however, as a "downstater" I have to ask, what do you mean?
It means, I have my whole family here or I have a career here, among others, are just an excuse for you to continue living in your shit hole state. Deal with it or move,. You do have a choice.

I didn't know you had to have a foid to buy components in state. Laughing my ass off at that one.

Sorry
I’m 27 years in
Totally not impressed with what’s being hired to replace me. Used to be every academy we had 60% good cadets , no more
If you have 1-2 good cadets it’s a miracke
They are hiring people who “ check boxes” and who blindly follow orders and promote the liberal agebda
When you do get a good officer that goes out and works, makes cases, uses discretion when appropriate
They crucify him
Review all his body can footage till they find some minor violation and “ hand out discipline “
Not anywhere near the job I started

There are some things we see similarly, to be sure. Whatever the differences we see, we can agree that things are not what they should be now. I do blame the politicians for that. Media and the public second guessing every move and command not backing up the rank and file as they should to keep the politicians off of their backs. Yes standards have changed. And that's because the politicians and the public want public relations rather than enforcement. I'll be forever smh over that.
 
Not really. Not all 2.5M FOID folks have accessories or weapons that fall under this. Additionally, the first offense is a misdemeanor.

But ya. Us law abiding, never used our weapons for a crime citizens will not be getting the leniency that they give the multiple felons that are caught every day and released due to plea bargaining and cashless bond.

But hey.....if it makes them feel safe, what harm can come of it.....right?
I think the "catch and release" BS happens because the libs around Chi-town are in the pockets of these gangs & these A holes are the constituants that vote for the libs!:mad:
 
Under the present day politicians, especially the liberal/communist/anti one's taking over the country, the Old Republic is going down hill "fast and furious". Each day it is headed more and more into the path that all Third World countries are with fully corrupt government in charge. Just look around at the many state and federal areas that they have put into the Red with billions in debt and failures.
 
How exactly is this going to be enforced? I mean how exactly does the state know what I have.

Iirc the 4473 does not specify exactly what type of firearm is purchased other than rifle pistol or other correct.

Nonsense..

4473 does spell out what you have. But that is not called in on the NICS check.

FFL log book and hard copy of the 4473 is not supposed to be in a data base, however, any FFL that ceases operation must surrender the log book and paperwork to ATF. What they have done with that after that is likely digitize them in a searchable format....

The lack of ability to enforce and Occam's Razor would say that the enforcement will occur as an add on charge when you have already done something to draw the attention of law enforcement. I doubt the States Attorneys or Sherriff's want to be the test case by showing up at a gun range or knocking on the door of a citizen and demanding to "see your papers". That said.... I have sold or relocated my banned items as I am not interested in being the test case.
 
Just heard yesterday the Supreme Court refused to block the IL gun ban/registration requirement taking effect 01/01/24. Thoughts on registering appreciated, hope this is considered not too political.

Thanks
I suspect the case isn't "ripe" yet. When they have enough controversy about it in the district appeals courts, they'll take it up. Patience, boys and girls.

There have been videos taken in gun shops of ATF agents photographing FFL's log books page by page.

edit; I was only able to find one example on short notice but if it happened in Arizona, who is to say it didn't happen in Illinois?
