While all gun control laws are essentially worthless, it’s hard to think of anything that’s more pointless than the Illinois Firearm Owner ID (FOID) card. Why is the Illinois “gun safety” measure so utterly useless? Because it’s redundant.
Anywhere in the United States, purchasing a gun at a firearm dealer already requires the buyer to go through a background check at the point of sale. While that’s hardly a perfect system (false denials are far too common), it sometimes blocks sales to those who have a disqualifier in the system, such as a felony conviction or serious psychiatric problems.
