Illinois has an anti-gun governor, a Democrat veto-proof congress, and now this is being proposed.

http://ilga.gov/legislation/bi...115206&SessionID=108

It's baffling that any American who knows anything about the founding principles of this country could come up with an idea like this.

JB Prickster on the move. How about requiring all Illinoisans upload their hard drives to a state cloud so well-intended AI bots could ferret out problem citizens?

NY is about to pass the same thing.

More un-enforceable nonsense.

. Provides that each applicant for a Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall furnish to the Department of State Police a list of every social media account.

OTOH... if the State Police have nothing better to do...



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

And that's not vague or subjective at all, is it? So to summarize, if you're an Illinois resident, you have no first amendment rights, and no second amendment rights based upon the whim of whoever is looking at you stuff. Nice state ya got there. Roll Eyes

I dropped Facebook years ago, no other SM accounts except LinkedIn and I contribute nothing there.

The future here does NOT look good.

How do they prove that you actually have FB account or the like. Just another good reason not to participate in that garbage.

I just renewed my FOID for another 10 years. I will be long gone from this state before it needs renewal again.

Lots of people have extensive social media presence. I doubt ISP wants to spend scores of hours to just go through one persons social media garbage.

I think every politician should be forced to make their social media information public first along with their school year books, report cards, employment reviews, and medical records since grade school.

If this law passes, you're not safe from its outreach. Your FOID can be revoked.
