Blagojevich has been described as a "staunch" supporter of gun control.[92]
During his February 2006 "State of the State" address, Blagojevich said the state should ban semi-automatic firearms.
As a state legislator, Blagojevich proposed raising the price of an Illinois Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card from $5 to $500. Blagojevich vetoed three gun bills in 2005, which would have:
Overridden local laws regulating transport of firearms.[93]
- Deleted records in gun database after 90 days
- Eliminated the waiting period for someone wanting to buy a rifle or shotgun, when trading in a previously owned weapon
