I swear I need to get out of this state. If I weren't so tied in with job, family, house and land, I would pick up and leave tomorrow.

I can't believe we just keep putting these incomptent a-holes in office. Talk about not serving the will of the people. Self-serving bastards!!!

ILL. needs to take lessons from the folks next door in Indiana. Indiana has East Chicago and Gary but they still have good firearms laws. The Southern Indiana area is like Southern ILL. less populated. The Hoosiers are just less inclined to deal with Liberals. They seem to be more kick A&& than folks in ILL.

Yeah. Makes sense. Take away my Ruger Mark II .22 pistol and leave me with my .357 magnum revolver. Yeah. Right.

We are stuck with Chicago making the 'rules' for the whole rest of the state. That's where most of the population is.
