•  Up until now, Amish gun owners in Illinois haven’t had to have photos on their permit cards because of their religious beliefs, but a new policy would force them to comply. Many Amish use their rifles for hunting food, so now they’re faced with giving up a source of food or disobeying their religious teachings. I say c’mon, these people already live so apart from American society — allow them to follow their religion. That’s what America’s about.  [Mattoon Journal Gazette]
