Illinois catches up with the rest of the nation, at gunpoint.

Illinois catches up with the rest of the nation, at gunpoint.

  Yesterday, in a 2-1 decision, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Illinois’ ban on carrying concealed weapons.   And so the last state in the nation without any such provision will be forced to create one within 180 days.  Gun rights advocates cheered the decision while opponents downplayed it’s significance.  So what have gun-rights supporters won?  At the moment it is difficult to tell.  Let’s review a few possible scenarios. There is no question that pressure has been put on state Attorney General Lisa Madigan.  In the immediate aftermath of the decision, all eyes will be...

  Nobody’s buying it.   Today’s Washington Post paraphrased the official statement from AARP after the President used the organization’s name last night in the debate: From WaPo: “AARP’s senior vice president, John Hishta, says AARP is nonpartisan and has never consented to the use of its name by any campaign or political group and doesn’t take sides in political races.” While it may be true that AARP does not consent to the use of its name and does not officially endorse candidates, the idea that they are nonpartisan is laughable. Just two weeks ago, The Wall Street Journal...
