Last year was a very good year for those of us in Illinois who believe that reasonable gun regulation must be an integral part of any solution to the epidemic of gun violence that has plagued us both nationally and locally over the last two decades. In 2018, Illinois was finally able to enact two important pieces of gun legislation that have the potential to significantly reduce gun violence in a number of different ways. |

These are both feel good, do nothing laws. The first was already a federal law, the second is a joke, if you think a gangbangers mom is going to call the cops and tell them she thinks Johnny is a threat to himself or others..
What a complete and total waste of taxpayer dollars.... |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
