Completely absurd to suggest cops in a fairly small town might recognize the son of a guy who ran for mayor, I mean maybe if they had already had to confiscate a bunch of knives from him or something but still I would doubt it

people need to watch less Law and Order. there’s no “running a serial” for a gun unless it’s been self-reported as stolen to a particular department

Yes. Do you? Illinois actually requires guns to be registered with the state police, so the cops found the gun, radioed in the serial number, probably directly to the state police! I imagine it took anywhere between 30 seconds and 3 minutes, depending on if they had to call up the state police separately.

Current US law prohibits this :)

Kind of curious how hard you looked because the illinois gun law wiki page was the first google result when i googled "Illinois firearm registration law" and the foid portal was the first one when i googled "illinois firearm registration"

I read through that, the only database they legislate is one for guns reported as stolen. gun stores have to keep record of a sale for ten years on-premises and FFLs for 20, state and local police don’t have access to either set of records. that’s why I asked.

I think this is what you're looking for then: https://casetext.com/regulation/ill...d-recordkeeping They could have called up the local gunshops and were able to get an answer fairly quickly.

Also noteworthy, the seller does have to enter the firearm and buyer info into the IL firearms transfer website. As far as I can tell there is no requirement for them to destroy it. This is going to be the major difference if you're not used to states that operate their own background checks. So you're right, Illinois doesn't have gun registration but they most likely have a pretty good idea who bought what firearms within the state.

i read on this forum something about there being a database of sorts, but the lookup functions are artificially slowed down and take like 10 minutes each, and lookups made doing the cooldown period are legally required to go through due to some gun lobby bullshit. the way it was phrased it sounded believable. anyone else hear similar?

there’s a central database of sorts. it’s a building with rooms and rooms of boxes with physical media copies of sales records that legally can’t be organized in any way. like you can’t put all the A states in the same room. you can’t write down which different rooms the Arizona records are in. it’s staffed by a bunch of people who spend all day searching through these boxes reading individual sales records until they find a match and then they call back whichever department sent in the request

Yeah, I could tell. anyway, the first google result for the illinois law is the state's transfer portal, where you put in the seller's name, FOID card number, and make/model/serial of the gun, then the buyer's name and FOID number.

it's the most likely reason the cops could find bob crimo so fast, but they probably don't want to publicize that for the obvious reason.

no, they could not, even if were the lucky enough to have bob crimo buy his gun at the geographically-closest gun store. the national process is purposefully terrible, and relies on gun stores that do not want to let the feds know that they sold a gun that was used in a crime.

Sounds right to me that they have everything they need to look up who bought what gun where but it's made artificially slow by the gun lobby or NRA.

So I wonder if they got him from the security camera first cause I definitely saw a picture of his lovely car and license plate the day of the shooting.

yeah why would the state police keep track of what serials are connected to a specific FOID? they totally just ask for the information and dispose of it immediately, i bet.

they just put out an BOLO for any man in a costume wig after looking at all the security camera footage in a 10 mile radius because of gladio.

I have no idea how fast they could look up his gun but they almost certainly didn't actually need to. Just the fact that his dad ran a local business and ran for mayor is enough that they could probably just look up at the rooftop and go hey isn't that Robert crimo's kid.

I live in the area and my antisocial parents who, somewhat understandably, interact with the community as little as possible knew the mayor. Hell my mom used to do renovation work for him and he once drunkenly drove my brother to go get stitches. They didn't need to do any csi poo poo to know who it was because it's almost guaranteed they all know his dad

Illinois spends ~$29,000,000 a year to fund the system, and you have no idea how often it is used. this is all very easy to google, so try doing that instead of this weird temper tantrum.
