I find it extremely entertaining that the GOP, the hypocrites that always scream for less government, are always the first group to stick their collective noses in the people's business.

As a proud carrying FOID card holder, I have no problem with letting our law enforcement officials KNOW I legally obtained said card, or gun. This is a law enforcement issue, not a privacy issue. Law-abiding citizens have no problem whatsoever with this simple request. The only people that fear this are the ones that wish their continued existence hiding in the dark. We should, and need to give our law enforcement agencies all the tools needed in this vicious cycle of violence that is happening on our streets.

As for the NRA, you have a choice to make. Stand on the side of law enforcement, and help them rid our streets of these gang-bangers running wild, by not blocking every common-sense gun legislation that comes from our SANE lawmakers. Every responsible gun, or card holder knows this is what YOU DO, and we don't need irresponsible zealots telling us, or law enforcement, this big fat lie of this being a "Privacy Issue". That is simply, bullshit. It is, and will always be, a Common Sense Issue.

I have nothing to hide being a law-abiding, responsible citizen. If this request can keep a gun out of a criminals hands, we as citizens should have the backs of our law enforcement agencies.

This resistance is nothing more than the meddling of the NRA, and GOP sticking those big noses in our business. We elected you politicians for various reasons. Crime being one of them. If you vote against our interest in blocking, or defeating this issue on crime, we will truly know who you stand with. And buddy, it sure isn't law-abiding citizens.
