And monkeys will fly out of my butt
An Illinois lawmaker has proposed concealed carry legislation there. Yes, that Illinois:
An Illinois lawmaker wants to allow the state’s residents to carry concealed firearms.
“We definitely believe that with concealed carry permits, the crime rate will go down in Illinois,” Rep. Brandon Phelps, D-Norris City, the bill’s chief sponsor, said.
And not only is it Illinois, but there’s that conspicuous D after his name.

A quick map check shows Norris City to be in far southern Illinois, due west of Evansville, IN.
My understanding is that Southern Illinois Democrats are a lot like, well, Yellow Dog Southern Democrats.

I understand. However, non-urban illinois residents (like those New York and CA) seem to get oppressed by their urban counterparts.
