What, a supermajority of 68%, which some of us have been pointing to all along, is not enough?

Setting the Bar Too High

Q: What kind of “criminal justice researcher” doesn’t bother to learn the laws she’s “researching”? [More]

New Intolerable Acts for 2019

There will be a 72 hour waiting period for all gun purchases. This closes the gun show loophole for purchases made by a non-resident. [More]

The ones who by law are already "recognised by the Illinois Department of State Police"...?  Speaking of which, they still have their exemption, let us pray...
