Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech.

Gun crime is solved! Totally not going to see any gang shootings or guns with "polished" serials for sale.

Well this is stupid. Three-quarters of homicides are done with handguns. That's not even counting suicides, which cause even more deaths than murders do. If they wanted to reduce gun violence, they'd ban handguns. I get that people are scared, but this will not fix the problem.

This doesn't even solve let alone address clip size, handguns, crime overall, poverty, or climate change on top of assault weapons so what's the point of anything? /s
