JohnRich 4 #1 February 9, 2012 News:Emanuel to push for state-wide handgun registry Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants lawmakers to require that all handguns in Illinois be registered with the state, or gun owners could face felony charges... Under Emanuel's proposal, handgun owners would have to pay $65 for a registration certificate from the state, which would function much like the title to a car. Illinois law currently requires that gun owners and shooters have a firearm owners identification card, which works like a drivers license. But the guns themselves are not registered at the state level...Full story: WBEZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
