The proposal, which has the backing of Gov. Pat Quinn, would have restricted the possession, delivery, sale and transfer of semiautomatic weapons, including handguns and rifles.
And yet again, another anti-gun governor. Quinn would love nothing more than to sign some giant sweeping gun control legislation that makes the Chicago handgun ban pale in comparison.
He said he will re-introduce a bill in hopes of getting the measure through the General Assembly in the spring. And, he said he is considering a compromise that wouldn’t ban as many types of guns.
“We’re willing to negotiate somewhat,” Acevedo said.
No means no. I love this whole "well... instead of only taking your leg off, we'll just take your foot -- how can you argue with that!?" mentality. Disgusting.
Typical Illinois politicians dodging the real issues -- pension reform and the fact the state is bankrupt.
