The inmates are definitely in charge of the asylum now!
If Governor Pritzker is disapproved of enough, and the Republicans have the exceptional year that are predicted to, it might be possible for a Republican to win in Illinois for the Governorship. The Republicans were able to in 2014.

It looks like this will prohibit the possession and sale of toy guns that are modified from manufacturing standards, to look like real guns.
Like, if you remove the red plastic tip of an airsoft pistol that makes it immediately clear it's a toy, not a lethal weapon.
This law, if passed, will make the seller liable for the damage that is done if these toys are mistaken for real firearms, because they've been modified to appear to be real.
Makes sense. Toys should look like toys; deadly weapons should look like deadly weapons.

Sounds like a good way to go after white kids in the suburbs and rural areas rather than focus on the cretins terrorizing Chicago. Especially the south side.

Sounds like a good way to protect white kids who are playing with their paintball guns. Been there, done that, ouch I see the problem here.
