Illinois House overrides Quinn’s gun veto

[DonP]

16. That's it, it's now the law

The Governor and a few of his minions said they'll attack the law again in the fall session with the same crappy amendments, because "it's a recipe for tragedy" (his exact words) and we need to change this law "for the children, because if you save one life you save the whole world". That was his actual response to a reporters question. You can't make stuff like that up.

At the same time the plans by the ISRA and SAF for changing it and reducing the 16 hour training requirement, cutting the $50 permit fee and cutting back on some of the "forbidden zones" are also in the works.

The opponents, Rahm and his lackeys, have already started using the carnage on Chicago streets as some kind of rationale to try and restrict concealed carry and assault weapons, none of either are involved in Chicago crime of course. Just one more gun law will solve all of Chicago's violence problems I'm sure.
