Illinois is about to pass a law that enables law enforcement to confiscate your firearms if a family member or police officer says so.
WTF? You mean my brother in California can just up and decide that he thinks I'm a threat, call the cops, they come and bash my door down and take mah guns?!? (for six months)
The process for getting them back involves going thru mental health treatment.
Now this is where it gets retarded imo.
Once you've been thru a mental health facility (which does not exist) you will be asked to fill out a form to get your FOID back. On that form is a line that says "Have you ever been committed to a mental institution?". yes or no.
Say yes on that form and you're not getting a FOID or a gun period in Illinois. Not allowed to possess firearms without the FOID here. Can't buy ammo either.
The process is to disarm you permanently. They're lying and saying it isn't.
