Pritzker's Ignorance

Pritzker, the next target of DSA, issued an excuse for violating the Second Amendment.

 ...Gov. J.B. Pritzker cited the 2022 Highland Park parade shooting as a reason why Illinois’ statewide ban should be upheld.

The governor spoke at a cannabis dispensary in Chicago on Thursday, two days after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Viramontes v. Cook County and a similar case in Connecticut....

....“The rights of people to go to a 4th of July parade and be safe, and not have 48 people shot with more than 60 bullets per second, issued by a weapon that shouldn't be available to the public,” Pritzker said....

The S&W M&P 15 is an AR-based platform using 5.56x45 ammo.  At full-auto, the AR can fire up to 900 rounds/minute, or FIFTEEN rounds/second.

Not SIXTY rounds/second.

Math is hard, Governor.  Have your aides do it for you. 

Perhaps the Governor was confused due to cannabis?  

But there's no small irony in his waving his porky-finger in front of a WackyWeed shop; long-term use of marijuana can result in a violent temper.  Ask anyone in the DSA about that
