Gov. Rauner signs new law expanding Illinois gun prohibitions

Illinois Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a popular bill last week that would reclassify some as being ineligible to own firearms due to stalking orders or protective orders from other states.

Sponsored by Rep. Kelly M. Cassidy, D-Chicago, the measure directs the State Police to deny an application for or revoke an individual’s Firearm Owners Identification Card if they are subject to an order of protection or no-contact order related to stalking. It passed the House in April and the Senate in May, both in unanimous votes, earning Rauner’s signature on August 12 along with a host of other measures without comment.

The legislation, which passed as HB 6331, is multi-faceted and would treat a stalking no contact order (SNCO) the same way as a domestic violence protective order under the law when it comes to barring gun ownership. Under Illinois law, many who do not qualify for protection through restraining orders can obtain a stalking no contact order which can be obtained by victims of stalking who do not have a relationship with the offender.

Further, it would compare the state’s FOID database against those in other jurisdictions to see if a similar protective order had been entered by another state, tribal, or territorial court against the gun owner.

As such, it would reclassify some Illinois citizens as being ineligible to own firearms under the new guidance. If ineligible, the gun owner would have to surrender their firearms and FOID card to the county sheriff if served with a revocation order. The language of the act allows for a pilot program in Cook County for local law enforcement to serve notices of revocation, a task typically reserved for the State Police.

Finally, those who find their FOID card revoked would be entered into the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System which could disqualify them from purchasing firearms in other states or in many cases obtaining a concealed carry permit.

The measure is now Public Act 99-0787 and takes effect January 1, 2017.

ILLINOIS RINO Mark Kirk will lose his election this year and be replaced by Tammy Duckworth a hard-core Democrat.

Thousand of Republican voters will skip voting for him -, rightly so, rather than continue to have him stay in place.

Republican voters would rather have an actual Democrat rather than him, because there is really no difference.

Sadly though it will give another Senate seat to the Dims.

Yeah, I am sure this additional law will stop all the black on black killings on the South and West Sides of Chicago. [rolling eyes-stupid people]

So Lavon only has to get a no stalking order against Calvin to protect his drug territory?

And this is how Democrats get in, by Republicans who vow vengeance on their own

D's get in when R's who claim to be defenders of the Constitution, act like D's.

Why would anyone with a brain ever get excited about voting for a rancid creep like Rauner?

People who worship their egos and their perceived intelligence are a bad problem in America today.

And indeed many conditions are relative. Rauner may well make the OTHER guy look like “rancid creep” and yet the stuck up brainiacs will enable the other guy to get in, just so their purity does not get all mussed up.

Sorry, they've been selling us this snakeoil for 50 years and yet, things keep getting worse.

The more we move to the middle, the more they move to the left.

Candidates who are truly freedom loving Constitutional conservatives shouldn't be ashamed of their/our beliefs. If we lose, we lose honestly and can assess other options. If we "win" with a puke like Rauner, all we're getting is the death by 1000 cuts.

So you solve the problem by ending it all?

You should have every reason to be ashamed of fallacy.

The place to concentrate on personality is at the primary level. Once you are past that, you play the cards you got. Acting like a recalcitrant baby never gets you forward.

This is to make it LOOK like something is happening,

No, things are going to happen.

In Illinois especially Chicago anyone, I mean anyone can get a stalking no contact order (SNCO)against just about anyone.

This move by Rauner will affect the lives of a lot of good and innocent people.

Your neighbor doesn't like the bumper sticker on your car, or sees you take a gun case out to your car, calls the cops, swears you "threatened" them, get's a $50 lefty lawyer to file it....bingo SNCO and you've lost your gun rights or the ability to pass a background check nation wide.

What kind of idiot Governor would sign this into law?

Easier said than done. I have personal real life experience with exactly that. Do you?

You can't get through the Illinois primary process without the blessings of the GOPe. Now, if you have a LOT of money you could try, but the Party will try to stonewall you just like they're doing to Trump.

Signed by a REPUBLICAN governor.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He’s also pro baby killing and pro homo. Don’t blame me though, I voted for the Libertarian in the general.

Well, excusing yourself from the process is going to lead things in exactly the direction that you are decrying. The politician’s support will be found more and more in the middle, those purist conservatives having long walked away.

Give me a break. I'm not going to squander my life's work to try to convince knuckleheads , some just like you, that the Republican Party is a closed club accessible only to the very rich or very GOPe.

Gov. Bruce Rauner is a billionaire, yep billionaire. Try it if you're not.

Wake up.

No, any more than God gives us a break when we shirk. All I see here is excuses, waah, waah.

And please notice, that although Trump is in fact quite wealthy, he hasn’t been buying his way into popularity. He’s talked his way into it. His budget on campaigning is very little.

You try it, and see how far you get.

I know what it's like real life as opposed to keyboard GOPe apologists.

IIRC you were a Cruz guy, right?
