*raises hand frantically* oh oh oh pick me, I know the answer, pick me pleeeeeease!!!

1) George Ryan was a democrat in Republican clothing and turned off alot of fence voters and so therefore they voted democratic

2) The dems got to redraw the districts this year and surprise surprise, they did a REALLY bad job

3) Someone got apathetic (hmmm, NRA or maybe it was us, did we think it wouldn't happen in Illinois because we are such a big hunting state?)

Did I get it right??????

Your on the right track.

I voted to ban saturday night specials, because they were cheap, dangerous, and too easy for criminals to get.
And I didn't have one, so I didn't care.
I just have my good old shotgun.

I voted to ban assault rifles because they are dangerous and no citizen needs military arms.
And I didn't have one, so I didn't care.

Illinois Shotgun-Ban Bill Passes Senate Committee

I just have my good old shotgun.
