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 |
| "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") |
