Gun control and public healthcare.

I was under the impression Illinois had some of the tightest gun control in the country?

You can drive 1 hour, buy AR-15 in wallmart and go back without any border controls.

Gun control needs to be a nation-wide policy, and it needs to be implemented with all the common-sense measures like buying back the guns from population - see Australia for one example where it worked.

Australia, as in the place where people were forcibly sent to quarantine camps during a recent pandemic? Or Canada, where people had their bank accounts frozen for simply donating to protestors?

Gun control is working out great, for tyrannical governments.
