Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech.

Well this is stupid. Three-quarters of homicides are done with handguns. That's not even counting suicides, which cause even more deaths than murders do. If they wanted to reduce gun violence, they'd ban handguns. I get that people are scared, but this will not fix the problem.
