SPRINGFIELD, ILL. Gov. Pat Quinn is renewing his call for an assault weapons ban in Illinois.

The Chicago Democrat promoted the idea during his annual State of the State address on Wednesday. He asked lawmakers to move forward with strong public safety legislation. He says Illinois must prohibit the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.

If they can pass it, Baraq will reward them with a state pension system bailout.

They just don’t seem to ever get it, do they?

They can’t realize that the only reason they still exist is because of voter fraud and the entitlement mentality.

They just cannot keep from poking with that stick all the time.

Assault weapon. Yesterday my 5 year old hit me with a stick. I assume that will be banned.

“public safety legislation”...

Yeah, riiiight...

How are people going to defend themselves when the gravy train runs out over there, which I’d guess is not more than three years away?

You know, when you get right down to it Pat Quinn and most of those Illinois politicians sound just like this Christopher Jordan Dorner and his crazy manifesto.

You don't suppose they are all hooked up ~

Quinnochio doesn’t belong in public places like the governor’s office either but he does not seem to act accordingly. He is economically illiterate, constitutionally illiterate and rivaled only by Connecticut’s Danell Malloy as a complete gubernatorial idiot.

I didn’t know this, but Quinn in his easrly days apparently was also a “community organizer.” See here:

Also doing some research on his family. Anybody know anything about his brothers Tom & John?

They democrats DO realize they are in power via fraud.

THAT is why they are so anti-second amendment.

And so continues the great tradition of the People's Democratic Socialist Republic of Illinois.

The mighty Quinn wins, what, 3 counties statewide and he's in like Flynn.

Thanks for the link, but Cuomo is the idiot I worry about. He declared a state of emergency for our current storm. He used a “message of necessity” to avoid normal legislative rules and procedures for his recent gun grabbing which I don’t believe will pass muster with the current Supreme Court, IMHO.

Governor Quinn, I love the White Sox, but I will not be traveling from Iowa to spend my money in your state to watch the Sox in person. I’m sure the folks in Kansas City will appreciate my visit.

Downstate Illinois hates Chicago with a passion, and lets that hatred override all other considerations once in a while.

Once in a rare while, I thank God for that.
