Re: Denied Illinois FOID card

More | Report Post

Sure if you have solid proof that a person has mental issues from a certified
mental health professional that a person is a threat to society, then that
person should not have firearms. I really suggest that you have proof and can
provide that proof from a certified mental health facility that someone has did
something wrong, or shows signs that they are a threat to society before you
take those guns from an American citizen home, or you are violating the
constitution, and no better then the crooks we put behind bars for breaking
constitutional law.
