Gov. Clueless Quinn rebuked by Illinois Senate on his gun ban bill

Illinois Governor Pat “Clueless” Quinn was resoundingly rebuked by a 49-4 vote yesterday as the Senate over-rode the governor’s earlier amendatory veto of SB 681.

The common sense gun bill originally had widespread support and would have allowed Illinois FOID-card holders to purchase ammunition from Illinois retailers and have it shipped to their homes.

Governor Quinn struck the original language and substituted in a Draconian gun ban that would have banned manufacture, possession or sale of America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15, and dozens more of the most popular selling guns in America today. Furthermore, it would have likewise banned full-capacity magazines.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Quinn’s “Dream Gun Act” would not grandfather guns and magazines currently owned. It would be literally a Senator Dianne Feinstein, “Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ’em all in” moment.

Todd Vandermyde, the NRA’s man in Springfield, texted GSL moments ago with a simple message: “Not done yet.”
