Section 5. The Firearm Owners Identification Card Act is
amended by changing Section 1 as follows:

Sec. 1. It is hereby declared as a matter of legislative
determination that that in order to promote and protect the
health, safety and welfare of the public, it is necessary and
in the public interest to provide a system of identifying
persons who are not qualified to acquire or possess firearms,
firearm ammunition, stun guns, and tasers within the State of
Illinois by the establishment of a system of Firearm Owner's
Identification Cards, thereby establishing a practical and
workable system by which law enforcement authorities will be
afforded an opportunity to identify those persons who are

amended, from acquiring or possessing firearms and firearm
ammunition and who are prohibited by this Act from acquiring
stun guns and tasers.
