The cowering Illini

We should all take turns reminding the world that Illinois, home and political cradle of our president, is the only American state to flatly deny the right of the citizen to bear arms for personal defense. 

Of all land under the American Flag, Illinois is joined only by three outlying territories whose local culture has no root in our historic devotion to Constitutionally protected liberties. These places are American Samoa, The Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, and the District of Columbia.
