From State Rep. Marty McLaughlin:
Rep. McLaughlin Calls Foul On Disastrous FOID System
BARRINGTON HILLS… State Representative Martin McLaughlin (R-Barrington Hills) said,
“The number of calls and emails coming into my office each week discussing the massive issues with FOID and CCL applications is alarming.”
“The constituent concerns stem from both new applicants and renewals, many of them dating back to July and August.
“These backlogs are unacceptable and violate our 2nd Amendment Constitutional rights,” said Rep. McLaughlin.
“Last year, my colleagues discovered the Democrats swept money out of the dedicated fund that helps administer the program to the tune of $28,000,000 million dollars.
“The money collected from lawful gun owners went out of the FOID fund and into the General Revenue Fund to pay for other programs,” said Rep. McLaughlin.
Rep. McLaughlin said, “I call upon my fellow legislators to support pending legislation like House Bill 3761 to make FOID & CCL cards good for the lifetime of the cardholder,” said Rep. McLaughlin.
“I will be joining members of the House Republican Caucus to actively fight off any attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights and be vocal in ensuring we protect our Constitution to the fullest,” said Rep. McLaughlin.
He’s ‘alarmed’ but does nothing.
That what’s wrong with RINOs.
They are spineless, feckless and frauds.
McConchie ie even worse, my husband left a phone message and email about his FOID renewal woes…… actually 3 of each.
No return call or email, 11mos, 2 weeks since he renewed.
Why are ordinary citizens denied their rights?
We’ve now made the decision to leave this Marxist State.
Let’s just see where this gets Ms. Trumpion.
I’m sick of Namby pamby McConchie, too
ITS OBVIOUS THEY CANNOT DO THEIR JOBS JUST LIKE THE SHOT CHAOS, THIS IS A BOGUS MONEY SUCK LAW. SO ITS TIME TO OBOLISH IT NOW.
MOST OTHER STATES DO NOT TRY TO PULL THIS CRAP ON THEIR CITIZENS
END IT NOW, TOTALLY UNNECESSARY LAW OTHER THAN A MONEY GRAB OPPORTUNITY.
I’m alarmed that McLaughlin is alarmed – will wonders never cease !
FOID ITSELF VIOLATES OUR 2ND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!
F-ing Democrats
It took him this long to become alarmed?
He should change his first name to Wimpy.
