Re: Denied Illinois FOID card

Illinois Government should stop violating the constitution and abide to it. 75% of the
United States agrees with the Supreme Court decision concerning the second amendment.
Now here’s a thought, why not get rid of the foid card system in Illinois and for
those 25% of the people left over that dis-likes the constitution, and the Supreme
courts decision, I suggest you leave Illinois and the country, then go to some other
country where guns are banned to live your life, then there is no hassle for anyone.
See that’s what is so great about the United States constitution; it protects your
rights as a citizen to leave this country and join some communist country if you’re
into that sort of thing, giving up your rights.
