" legislation that does not prevent those who can and should to be able to purchase firearms. See what happens when the gun grabbers actually try to enact sensible gun legislation it actually passes with wide margins. Now work on other sensible gun laws and leave the banning and demonizing of gun owners out of it "

" This particular legislation was encouraged and supported by the NRA. Isn't it amazing that the media and the gov don't seem to point that out. But to you NRA haters....Yes the NRA supported this legislation. "

" What! Not that I'm aware of. The NRA slams Illinois for every NEW gun law. Just the opposite. Missouri did the opposite and made it easier to get a gun. "

" Okay, this is just wrong. Who gets to judge who can and can not own guns, and by what standards do they have to judge by? While I agree that some people are dangerous with guns, to allow someone to just 'rate' a person based on their 'opinion' opens the door to someone making their decision using biased opinions. Without a defined statement of the reasons a person can be judged dangerous, the ambiguity will make this law cannon fodder for the appeals courts. "

" Guess this bans the Governor from owning a gun as well. He's the biggest nutcase in the State! "
