Illinois gun restrictions unfairly target foster parents, lawsuit claims | Fox News

"Kenneth and Colleen Shults want to permanently welcome a foster child into their Fairmount, Ill., family, but claim in a federal suit filed this week they are being forced to surrender their Second Amendment rights to do it."

I am not even saying the law suit is right, that owning a gun is THE reason they are being 'denied'. Just interested in the question / idea... Yes of no?

And most cases no, but if they're mentally a danger to the child. Well, on a case by case bases.

 

[Compost]

Is this short and sweet enough?
From the article, "no foster parent should have to forfeit their constitutional rights in order to be a foster parent.”

 

[TNHarley]

And most cases no, but if they're mentally a danger to the child. Well, on a case by case bases.

if they are a basket case, they shouldn't be fostering children at all

 

[TNHarley]

no

Soon the fascist anti-gunners will demand that we tie our dicks in a knot.

But , being a foster parent , an independent contractor for CPS, is a different matter.

Nevertheless, I wish the Shults the best of luck.

Tell them to vote for the Trump/Pence ticket. Otherwise they are fucked.

case by case basis

Not no but hell no!

This isn't a simple 'yes' or 'no' question. While there is a Constitutional right to own firearms, there is no Constitutional right to adopt children. As long as mere possession of firearms isn't a disqualifier, state authorities do have the obligation to make sure the children they place aren't put into a dangerous situation. Therefore, questions about how weapons are stored and used seem prudent and appropriate.

You just neutered 97% of liberals.

Gun control advocates want to abolish the 2nd amendment by whatever means they can use to undermine the Constitution.

Is adoption a right?

This isn't a simple 'yes' or 'no' question. While there is a Constitutional right to own firearms, there is no Constitutional right to adopt children.

As I understand it, the issue is FOSTER CARE not adoptions


Foster care is a system in which a minor has been placed into a ward, group home, or private home of a state-certified caregiver, referred to as a "foster parent". The placement of the child is normally arranged through the government or a social service agency. The institution, group home or foster parent is compensated for expenses.[1]

If they are mentally a danger to the child they shouldn't be foster parents.

Re-read the article. The questions came about when the couple wanted to adopt a foster child.
