Is there even anyone in ILL-annoying (the Californicators of the East) that knows anything about guns? Isn’t it the state where you have to get a permit to even LOOK at a gun in a store?

Nearly all the rest of IL is conservative. Plenty of gun owners here as well as one of the largest state NRA orgs in the nation.

But thanks to redistricting, Chicago and East St. Louis carry all the weight.

There's plenty, just nowhere near Chicago. I am in Illinois, and there is a popular shooting range about five miles from my house.

Plenty of us in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Chicago (aka Ill-noise)...many even in the Windy City! However, we’re horribly outnumbered, and Chicago runs the state now, so we’re mostly underground...it’s like living in East Germany.

It would be nice if the rest of Illinois could get together and secede from the state and leave Chicago to be it’s own city/state. We would get two new senators that would have to be more conservative than wheat we have now. Do the same with Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania and we would have 8 new senators.

Don’t forget Springfield Armory in Genesco, Ill. (At least that is where I think it is)

As in the ILNRA, but we also have Rock River Arms - which makes some of the finest AR rifles around.
