  Initiate countdown to NRA lawsuit challenging legislation...
context: Pritzker is a real dark horse for 2024 if Biden doesn’t run.  He’s done a lot in IL.  Obviously a low bar existed based on the past two governors, but he’s done quite well by any metric >
  
  The DNC isn't going to support a primary if Biden runs. I like JB more than most governors, But he's not a dark horse. He's not a horse at all.
  Can't win the game if the game isn't being played. >
  
  Upon a quick skim…. Lots and lots and lots of things wrong with this bill. As in regardless of whether you support the concept or not, it will almost certainly be thrown out by the courts. >
  
  
  Outgoing state Sen. Darren Bailey warned "that I and millions of other gun owners in this state will not comply."
  
  Off to prison with you then. Think of all the jobs it will create. >
  
  You advocate for imprisonment for people unwilling to comply with a violation of their constitutional rights? 
  I'm in no way trying to start argument that will get us nowhere, im just trying to understand anti-gunners perspective more.
  personally, I do not think federal or state governments should have the right to dictate such things, and it should be decided by local governments. 
  though I disagree with your comment I would never advocate for you to be imprisoned because you exercising your first amendment right is something that i do not agree with. >
  
  The constitution doesn't give you the right to own any weapon, thus why you can't own a fully automatic weapon. See how easy that is to understand? >
  
  Except you legally can…. >
  
  Not in Illinois. :-) >
  
  And those laws will thankfully be overturned once they reach a federal court. >
  
  This will be overturned the moment it reaches any federal court (as it should be). >

  Which has happened in a bunch of other states over the same topic.
  All have been found to be constitutional. >
  
  But not new constitutional!! >
  
  What percentage of gun violence comes from assault weapons? >
  
  What percentage of gun violence is criminal? >
  
  All of it? >
  
  Not all violence is criminal violence. >
  
  Everyone on both sides of this issue seem to be ignoring that the registration part of this new bill directly violates Illinois' FOID Act. The FOID Act explicitly forbids the State Police from creating a registry. I'm curious to see how that will be reconciled in court when it is very clearly stated that the ISP cannot create the list. >
  
  If we are weaponless we are defenseless, are they protecting children or demoting the world’s largest military. >

  Less than 500 murders with rifles of all types per year about >
  
  That jives. My current city was around 280 murders last year (#3 in the nation) and the vast majority were regular semi-auto pistols.. and mostly stolen pistols at that.
