A few years ago when Illinois was seriously considering an AWB, several manufacturers moved across the river to Iowa and we lost maybe 175 skilled Union machinist jobs, including some high end smaller operations like Les Baer.

When I pointed that out to a gun control fan here, they said; "Fuck those Union members for being in the death business, let 'em find jobs in the toy industry".

So insane gun hatred pretty much over rides any and all other progressive "principles".
