It is Geneseo's third-largest employer behind Geneseo School District 228 and Hammond-Henry Hospital.

And the only entity of the three that actually makes a profit and pays taxes.

>Tell the US government “we can’t make guns in a state anymore, and we can’t supply you” and yank it.<

Then our troops would end up carrying Chinese AK 47’s.

Can’t we give CA to Mexico, and Il, and NY to Canada? It would solve SO many problems.

Yes it would be we need to do it in such a way the the few conservatives in those hell holes can get out without alerting the moonbats.

Then we declare them AND every one in them foreign! (Takes away their right to vote!)

Yes it would be we need to do...

Yes it would BUT we need to do...

Preview is my friend!

A few months ago, I ran into a guy that worked at Rock River in a local gun store. He called the Illinois bill “The eastern Iowa Development plant”.

Though, I would move a lot farther than that.

Geneseo lost the appliance factory a few years ago when Maytag/Whirlpool went to China.

This area is slowly being gutted, and I am trying to figure out how long till my wife and I leave.

'They are all high-cost type of weapons,' Rep. Boland said. 'These weapons are not the type brought in from a truck from South Carolina or someplace onto the streets of Chicago and sold off the back of that truck.'

Typical democrat. Blaming southerners for problems he and his democrat buddies created.

“Tell the US government “we can’t make guns in a state anymore, and we can’t supply you” and yank it.”

I don’t believe Springfield Inc supplies the US government.

“Then our troops would end up carrying Chinese AK 47’s.”

Nah, we’ll just keep buying M16s and other small arms from FN, H&K, and Beretta.

Maybe there ought to be a law requiring these feel good anti-gun people to display prominently at their house a sign stating that, This House is Gun Free.

“Maybe there ought to be a law requiring these feel good anti-gun people to display prominently at their house a sign stating that, This House is Gun Free.”

I think that a Volvo parked in the driveway with a John Kerry sticker still attached makes the same point. ;-)
