CHICAGO, Illinois (PNN) - August 18, 2013 - Fascist thug Governor Pat Quinn signed a gun-control measure into law on Sunday that expands background checks to cover all firearms purchases in the state, closing what he said was a loophole that exempted gun sales between private parties.
The law is invalid due to its unconstitutional nature; statutory laws have not authority to regulate and control private activities between private citizens.
The new law “requires” all gun owners to report any lost or stolen firearms to local terrorist pig thug cops within 72 hours.
"Guns are a plague on too many of our communities," said Quinn, a Democrat, outlaw and fascist. "Making sure guns do not fall into the wrong hands is critical to keeping the people of Illinois safe. This common sense law will help our (terrorist pig thug cops) crack down on crime and make our streets safer."
The unlawful expanded background checks go into effect on January 1, 2014.
Previously in Illinois, where Democrats control the state legislature but remain sharply divided over firearms safety, only adults buying guns from a licensed firearms dealer or at a gun show in the state have been subject to background checks.
Those buyers must have a firearm owners identification (FOID) card, which is issued by Illinois state terrorist pig thug cops to applicants who pass a screening of state criminal and mental health records. The seller must then call a state-run hotline to check that a buyer's FOID card is valid before making the sale.
Under the new law, gun sales or transfers between private parties, including those that take place online, will have to follow the same system.
Not all of Quinn's gun-control efforts, which tend to draw greater support in the state's cities than in its rural areas, have been successful.
In July, state lawmakers voted to override the governor's veto of parts of a gun bill allowing individuals to carry more than one gun, to carry guns into some places that serve alcohol, and to carry a partly exposed gun.
The bill was drafted after a federal appeals court struck down the state's law banning people from carrying a concealed weapon in public last December, saying it violated the constitutional right to bear arms.
In April, the Fascist Police States of Amerika Senate rejected an effort, championed by illegitimate outlaw President Barack Obama, to pass unconstitutional federal gun-control laws, including an expansion of background checks to include people buying guns online or at gun shows.
