The Illinois General Assembly has passed HB 5832 a Bill that makes carrying a firearm in Illinois without a valid FOID card a mandatory 1-3 years in prison.
Under current law, carrying a weapon without a valid FOID card allowed for probation but once enacted the new law removes any and all chances of probation even for a first time offense. The Bill has yet to be signed by the Governor but it appears to be a done deal unless a grassroots effort is made to stop it.

no one ever mentions a shining example like Kennesaw, Georgia, where it is mandatory for each resident to own at least one firearm, and lo and behold! Kennesaw has no crime rate!

This is treason at its finest. For all you who hate guns let me ask you think. do you know what the normal police response time is? around 8 min. In big cities it is 9+. know how long it takes to die?1 sec. If a man breaks into your house and wants to kill you and you DO HAVE a gun then you can defend your self. If you do NOT then do you really think the cops can or will protect you?

Kennesaw doesn't enforce the gun law, as a matter of fact I'd say it is safe to bet 60% of Kennesaw homes don't have a gun. The southerners in the area are most likely to have a gun, but we've been overrun by liberal yankees.
And Kennesaw does have a crime rate, just not a huge one, and it is a small city. It is becoming a college town and most residents are middle-higher class.

Hmmm. And we wonder why they are considering calling the national guard into Chicago? Seriously, any of you who live around here know how bad Chicago really is, and its pretty obvious why. There have been at least 2 news stories just this week of terrible violence in Chicago.
I have an idea though. Why don't we force Illinois's politicians to all live in an apartment next to the White Sox stadium? I'll bet not a single one of them would dare go near that place without at least few armed body guards, let alone live there. Let the people have their guns and their rights, and maybe then you wouldn't have a reason to fear their guns.
