Dunno much about Illinois Politics
But it seems that guns are turning up big in the political debates:
Petka, Keyes fire at Blagojevich, Obama for anti-gun rights vote and veto
Brady blasts Keyes on gun control (lame rhetoric is their headline, not mine)
Celebrating the veto of the law that let’s people bypass local law to defend themselves
I rather thought Illinois was a lost cause in terms of gun rights.

You let Canafax off too easily!
The rhetorical holes in this you could drive a Stryker Brigade through:
“I thought it even worse. It certainly would have take the teeth out of the ordinance because it gives you a defense right away, but as far as I was concerned, it would actually encourage people to use the gun, because then they’d have a defense,” Canafax said.
