Conspicuously pro-gun candidates coming out in Illinois races… God bless the righteous among us

Illinois is a deep blue state on the whole. And along with deep blue comes a disregard of and even a hatred for issues like gun rights for the little people.

However, outside of Chicagoland, the blue quickly turns purple and even red.

Unlike Chicago residents, where some live in hiding almost like gays living in the closet back in the 1950s and earlier. I can’t tell you how many Chicago residents I’ve had ask me if we can send GunNews wrapped in a brown envelope like they used to put on naughty magazines sent through the mail. Many of these folks have “come out of the closet” so to speak about their gun ownership. Good for them. At the same time, there are complexities of living in the belly of the beast that I don’t understand so I’m not going to denigrate those who continue to maintain the low-profile in the city.

What’s surprised me in this election season is the unabashedly pro-gun positions staked out by many candidates.

Candidates like Crystal Loughran, running for the 76th State Rep seat.

I recognize her and the name because she’s a regular helping out at our LaSalle chapter meetings. If you’re a fan of Pritzker and his politics, you will not want to vote for Crystal. On the other hand, if you think Gov. Jelly Bean is very wrong-sighted about his politics, you will probably love (L-O-V-E love) Crystal’s solid pro-gun beliefs.

And I don’t think the water in Springfield would dilute her support for gun rights.

TALK IS CHEAP: Congressman Mike Bost claims ‘When it comes to guns, no one’s a stronger supporter than Mike Bost’ yet he’s strangely mum on defiance of PICA law

Yeah, some like Congressman Mike Bost in Southern Illinois will always claim to support gun rights and then go to Springfield or Washington and lobby for, or worse yet vote for gun control.

Bost, who claims that nobody’s stronger on guns than him advocated for the ATF to ban bump stocks and he, along with Adam Kinzinger, wanted to end private gun sales in America (they call it “universal background checks” which means an end to private sales of this sort of private property).

BALLSY: Darren Bailey publicly humiliates Gov. Pritzker… ‘I will NOT comply’

Contrast that with Darren Bailey, Bost’s primary race challenger, who publicly announced that he’s NOT going to comply with Illinois gun ban registry.
