A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Illinois currently demands a FOID to purchase a firearm. A background check is done and a FOID is issued. To purchase a firearm a state and federal background check is done and if passed you may buy a firearm. You pay and also pay State&local taxes and now after said purchase approved by Illinois you are now a criminal. Makes sense to me.
