BUFFALO GROVE – Illinois residents' comments on Facebook, Twitter or elsewhere on the web that the State Police finds a problem could keep that person from owning a gun. That is if Democrat freshman from Buffalo Grove State Rep. Daniel Didech's HB 888 becomes law.
Filing his first two bills Friday, Didech chose to focus on measures that could limit gun owners' rights. The first one would prohibit a person convicted as a stalker from buying a gun. The second would require law enforcement to review social media accounts before issuing a FOID card. The measure would also allow social media comments to provoke FOID card revocations.
Big brother police state
This guys a good little Communist. Apparently he read Orwell’s, 1984 and picked up a few ideas.
This really is a federal issue as it is in the bill of Rights.
Interesting that so many on the Left have become States Rights
advocates- but of course only when it suits their agenda.
So, if you DON’T do “social media,” can the State Police consider you “crazy” because you don’t do social media?
By the way, these actions now change the definition of “State Police” from police of this state, to police of the GOVERNMENT of this state, like the Gestapo.
So this idiot wants to deny your second amendment rights by violating your first amendment rights. People like this should be banned from the legislature for stupidity.
How many hundreds of new Illinois State Police will be required to spend their days looking through the seas of social media?
Shame on Buffalo Grove.
