And a bit further down in the comments is this gem:
As a gun owner for 41 years and carrier of an Illinois FOID card since the early 1980s, I vote for the strictest possible gun laws. My gun ownership actually predates the widely held belief that the Second Amendment guarantees a personal right to own and carry. I got my first gun back when most Americans, and most conservative Americans, rightly believed that the Second Amendment was not about personal gun-toting at all. This was an innovation of the Reagan Administration, along with peacetime budget deficits, astrologers in the White House and the $1trillion "Star Wars" missile defense system. Interesting, that early 1980s seems to have been some sort of turning point, after which American started a rapid decline. I don't know if there is any connection, but I'd be willing to hazard a guess.
Ugh. Just guessing, but I'd say this individual probably isn't involved in Illinoiscarry.
