Efforts by the politically correct crowd to divest Illinois pension funds of firearms companies failed today in another blow to those who eschew civilian ownership of guns.

HB1296 failed 46-69, proving in this instance that an overwhelming majority of Illinois House members understand that 1) divesting yourself of one of the only money-making industries in America today is just plain foolish and 2) making investment decisions based upon politics usually makes for poor returns.

That didn’t stop 46 low-information types from voting for it though.
