SPRINGFIELD -- The Illinois House on Thursday approved a measure giving legal protection to gun owners who use banned firearms in self-defense while at their homes or businesses.
But, Gov. Rod Blagojevich vowed to veto the proposal, saying it is an example of the House catering to the state's pro-gun lobby.

The legislation, approved on a 90-25 vote, is in response to a case of a Wilmette man who shot a burglar in his home and was charged with violating a local law banning handguns.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note that this bill passed the Illinois house by a vote of 90 to 25 and now please note that the house is made up of 66 Democrats and 52 Republicans. I can't wait to hear what a bunch racist humholes have invaded Illinois.

6. Ted Rall has already been called a traitor.

And 39% of registered Democrats own a gun. Let's get that circular firing squad going!

8. Not by me...

I called him a fucking idiot and a second rate cartoonist. And he's both of those things.

"Let's get that circular firing squad going!"
Tell us again what a piece of shit Jesse Jackson is. See if you can find something from the stentorian to back it up.

10. "Get the circular firing squad started!"

Sounds like a weapons oriented person on a mission.

[MrBenchley]

11. Sounds like what the gun nuts have been trying to do all along...

Try to make it seem like there are really Democrats at war with each other over this issue or that...

Of course, they eventually spout enough right wing talking points and give themselves away...

[MrSandman]

13. But aren't we at war over this issue?
