Flee Illinois immediately.
Before they put up border crossings.
“You’re” should be “your.” Droid made me do it.
I can’t be of much help there, in that I live far away from Illinois, and know little of local politics. But I would hazard to guess that the Republican party likely has a list of possible pick-up seats, based both on constituency and money.
They would also be very interested if recall campaigns are mentioned, as such recalls require candidates to run against the incumbents.
While I considered this as just a threat against sitting Democrats, to persuade them to not vote for the gun bill, it could into tangible recalls if the Republicans opt-in to challenging them.
So the Chicago gangs and thugs will have a sudden change of heart and turn in or register firearms, in full compliance of the law? Right on!!
“Middle of the night legislation by corrupt politicians. It has to be stopped in this lame duck session.”
Probably even money that this passes. After all, this isn’t a red state, or even a purple one, but is Chicago-run Illinois.
It will become an interesting “test-case”. I think the gun-grabbers at the federal level will be watching closely, and offering assistance where possible.
If this gets passed, and if it stands, it will become the harbinger of what’s-to-come nationwide. It’s much easier to “engage” with a single state (particularly a liberal one), than it is an entire nation.
Of course, there’s that pesky court decision from early December that ordered the Illinois legislature to implement concealed carry. Guess that don’t matter no’ mo’, eh?
