The NRA's rep starts laying the smack at 2:59. This is a discussion regarding Illinois' concealed carry, which, as I figure, goes to Constitutional Carry in about 136 days.
After Todd's testimony, an anti-gun rep goes in on a long line of questioning for around 8 minutes that can summarized as, "The FOID process is messed up, our state sucks at reporting mental health records, and we shouldn't pass a law until everything is perfect."
Todd replies at 3:12 by pointing out that NRA has been pushing for funding and auditing for two years. He goes on to say, "I can't be responsible, nor our organization, for the financial mismanagement of the state by the governor. I can't make the circuit clerks do their job... but if the clerks of the courts, the courts, and state's attorneys, and the governor won't do their jobs, how do you expect me to fix that?"
Another zinger: "You're right, Chicago is special -- especially abusive to gun owners." No compromise on pre-emption.
Constitutional carry on June 9th.
