“People in IL, not known for mental acumen, will truly support this sweeping bill. They want to be “protected” by the government.”
Not true. There are lots and lots of gun owners in Illinois, even in Cook County, and surreptitiously in Chicago itself. And of course, all the criminals are armed. Anyhow, there is a big movement against letting any bill pass in the State legislature, and many Dem legislators are in districts with lots of gun owners. Not everyone in IL is a mental midget. Most of the low information voters are in the city of Chicago proper. Along with their liberal slave masters.
Our reps in Springfield are busy. They are also planning on ramming thru homosexual marriage.
