The Illinois House Gun Violence Prevention Committee continues to hear proposals about gun control.
State Representative Bob Morgan has a bill to increase the fee from $2 to $10 for when someone transfers a firearm to someone else. He said the extra funds would be used to go after those with expired or revoked Firearm Owner’s ID cards.
Josh Witkowski with Illinois Federation for Outdoor Resources said they are opposed because of how the funds would be used.
Witkowski also said the FOID card would be in jeopardy with a recent court ruling against the requirement for having the ID to keep a gun in the home.
