I’m not a fan of “Amendatory Vetoes”.
Line item veto yes, but not this violation of separation of powers.
I hope some legislators will remind Gov. Quinn that, even if it’s illegal to carry a gun into a bar, the gang members will ignore that part of the law.
“Amendatory vetoes” are horrifying. How the heck is the legislature deemed to have approved a law that looks nothing like the bill that passed each house?
From what I recall, the federal courts gave the IL legislature a certain amount of time to approve concealed-carry or the courts would strike down IL gun laws and permit unrestricted concealed-carry. Wouldn’t Quinn’s mangling of the law in defiance of the court order make it likely that the courts will strike down the law and allow unrestricted concealed carry?
