Gov Quinn is an idiot, a political agenda driven idiot. In a state with one of the most violent and dangerous cities in the country his “solution” for keeping residents safe? Try to deny them the means of effectively protecting themselves. By what twisted logic does this make sense? It doesn’t, because statistics and brutal bloody experience show that violent crime is inversely correlated to private firearms ownership. Here is a hint for the good citizens of Illinois: it is apparent Quinn cares more about political agendas (which also happen to be anti freedom and liberty) than he does about you and your safety. Act accordingly next time you vote.
He is not really an idiot. It is just that his assumptions about reality are false.
It is very difficult to reach correct conclusions when you start with false assumptions.
That is the position most “progressives” find themselves in today. Most adults simply cannot change their basic assumptions about reality. They will do anything to avoid having to do so.
