Constitutional Rights Use Permit

So I was watching Glen Beck on Fox News (which happens to be one of the best, most worthwhile things on television today) and he was talking about how in Illinois if you own a firearm (or in order to buy one) you must have a registered State firearm ID card. In other words: in order to exercise your 2nd amendment rights as guaranteed and enumerated by the Constitution of the United States of America, you must obtain a permit. Scary? I think so.
Glen Beck was also talking about how somewhere in the works (I apologize for not having more certain details and citations) there is a law that would require you to have a $1 million insurance policy that would be used in case you or an one else accidentally or purposefully harms someone with your gun. One of the biggest problems with this ridiculous piece of legislation is that NO ONE carries this type of policy for purchase.
Not only will you need a permit (in Illinois) but an insurance policy in order to use your constitutional rights. We the people should be appalled and sobered at what is happening in this country.
