        Don't think we have any here that ever get off the couch or out of the basement. Not that it's a bad thing at all. 
I can picture a facebook rally of gun control supporters, 5 to 7 of them, pictured wearing "Got Off The Couch" hoodies...sitting on a couch geting their photos taken.
Yeah, Bloomie, with Gabby Gifford and her husband, is trying to pass a state gun store licensing scam here in Illinois now. All on top of the existing Federal and local business permit process. 
Bloomie is as bloomie does.
They're also trying to pass off a scam about requiring clerks in gun stores to pass state background checks. As if they don't already pass Federal NICS background checks and hiring criminal background checks. Once again, counting on both the ignorance of the public and the cooperation of the media to carry their twisted message.
Which really means there are two possibilities:
The don't know about federal law or how the process works. Credit where credit is due, the stupidity of the antis makes this marginally plausible.
or
They just want to make the entire process as burdensome as possible, which is VERY plausible.
Giving our crooked state politicos control over licensing and their proven track record for driving all gun stores out of Chicago and Cook County, it's an easy way for them to slow walk or revoke business permits, create impossible standards, e.g. video recording every gun sale with names, address, e.g. Back door registration, ammunition sales limits. 
Yup. Why is it that they attempt these things and appear to believe that nobody sees what they're trying to do?
But remember, his $50 million plus each year doesn't count the way any SAF, NRA ILA funding does. Different rules.
Yup. "Out of state interests groups suck (unless they push for gun control, then they're not to be spoken of)".

        We are not overpaid. But I will ask the wider DU community about your assertion that we are.

        Well honestly, I can't think of any that would qualify to wear a "Got Off The Couch" one anyway.

        So, is gun control is a deep seated urge to grab other people's phallic symbols?
