Illinois Republicans aim to shake things up in Springfield, starting with a coalition of reform conservatives called the "Reform Illinois Pact". Recently, the governor, Bruce Rauner, signed the "red flag" bill into law. Basically, police cam take away a gun from someone who'd judged in court to pose as a threat. A law many Illinois conservatives didn't agree with.
"At the minimum, one of the bills just violates a person's civil rights and duties," Dale Halbrook said, who's a state representative who's district is part of Central Illinois. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
