Chicago Gun-Laws So Effective Governor Considering Sending In National Guard To Stop Violence: Chicago has some of the strictest gun-control laws in the nation. They have their own ban on assault or assault-style weapons or high capacity magazines. Guns have to be registered and they are now banned from any establishment that serves alcohol. The city bans the sale of any firearm within city limits. If a gun is stolen, the owner is required to report the theft immediately or face a fine.
On top of this, the state of Illinois requires a Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card before they can obtain a permit and license to purchase and own a firearm anywhere in the state. Anyone convicted of a felony, domestic violence, assault and battery, subject to a protection order or been a mental patient within the past five years are eligible for a FOID card. If they have one, the police are instructed to revoke the FOID card immediately. Any buying a gun within the state must first have a FOID card. If a gun is given as a gift, say father gives one of his guns to a son, the son must first obtain a FOID card. In order to obtain a FOID card, a background check is made.
