Re: Denied Illinois FOID card
Posted by FOID SYSTEM IS UN-CONSTITUTIONAL on 6/28/08

    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.
