Way Too Much Power



The economic carnage continues for Southern Illinois.

Sparta is reeling after a decision was handed down earlier this week which effectively cancels the biggest shooting event in the world.

Governor J. B. Pritzker cancelled the annual Grand American World Trapshooting Championships this week costing the  southwestern Illinois economy over $20-million dollars. He announced it after he visited….getting out of the area before the cancellation was given to media. In the release, the IDPH said “without a vaccine” these kinds of decisions will continue to be made. Even the most optimistic assessment doesn’t see a vaccine before 2021.

The event promptly relocated to Missouri where there are few restrictions on everyday life. Remember when partiers in the Lake of the Ozarks were going to die in Missouri? It just didn’t happen.

Organizers of the Grand American had a very detailed 41-page plan to keep everyone safe. No spectators would have been allowed. Masks would have been worn…
temperatures taken. If the Governor is hanging his hat on a vaccine before he allows real commerce in the state….Missouri, Indiana and the rest of the Midwest will eat our lunch.

Do you think guns had anything to do with the decision? It wouldn’t surprise me. Pritzker is not popular with gun dealers. And after this week…he’s not real popular in the shooting sports.

It is obvious that something has to give.

This Governor has way too much power.
