33,000Revoked FOID cards in Cook Co. Ill.

[Maxrobot]

33,000 Cook County Ill.residents’ firearm owner’s identification cards have been revoked because of violent felony convictions, domestic violence charges or serious mental health issues. that is just one County!
That’s more than the entire population of Highland Park.. Of that total, “nearly 20,000” have not turned in their cards. So, FOID cards reduce crime? Nearly 20,000 Cook County residents holding revoked FOID cards — enough to populate a medium-sized suburb

It's a massive county with a population over 5mil, to put things into perspective.

Cook County is one of many examples of what happens when the dems have total control over an area.

Six officer recovered 881 guns over almost 10 years? At that rate, if they hire another 130 officers, it will take another 10 years to collect guns from that 20k people. And presumably, 10s of thousands more will have their FOIDs revoked over that decade.

Actually, a ~0.7% rate of revocation in the general population of >5 million due to criminal/mental disqualifications is quite low - those that apply for FOIDs have a significantly lower rate of criminal/mental disqualification than the general population (~8%) or Blacks males (~30%). Any officers hire should be looking at those w/o a FOID.

"Illinois State Police announced Wednesday that it has forced nearly 300 people in southern Illinois to give up ownership of their firearms after they had their firearms rights revoked. As part of a “firearms enforcement blitz” from June 16 to July 31 in 41 southern Illinois counties, including St. Clair, Madison, Monroe, Clinton and Randolph counties, state police officers performed 710 “compliance checks,” which resulted in 295 people being “placed into compliance” with the state’s Firearms Owners Identification Card, or FOID card, law… The enforcement details were conducted in all of the state’s 102 counties, ISP said in the release. Statewide, 1,027 people were placed into compliance with the FOID law… Kelly said there are about 2.4 million people with FOID cards in Illinois and that the state revoked about 20,000 cards in 2021…
“Compliance checks are not about confiscating guns, but about ensuring individuals who have lost their firearms rights to transfer their firearms to law enforcement or someone who is legally able to possess them,” Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly said during a news conference at the state police’s metro-east headquarters in Collinsville."

We’re not taking guns, we’re forcing people to turn the over.
