Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker told the National Rifle Association to leave his state the "hell alone" in response to the group tweeting about mass shootings occurring in gun free zones.

"And 100% of mass public shootings happen with guns," the Illinois Democrat tweeted Tuesday night in response to data showing that "94% of mass public shootings occurred in gun-free zones."

"As Governor, on behalf of the people of Highland Park — leave us the hell alone," Pritzker said.

The initial NRA tweet contained a study from the Crime Prevention Research Center that compiled data from 88 mass public shootings from 1998 through May 2022.

Pritzker has spoken out in favor of gun control in the days following a mass shooting at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Illinois that left seven people dead and dozens injured.

"Our Founders carried muskets, not assault weapons," Pritzker said on Monday afternoon. "And I don't think a single one of them would have said that you have a constitutional right to an assault weapon with a high capacity magazine, or that that is more important than the right of the people who attended this parade today to live."

I realize this Jackass is the goobernor of Illinois but even someone as limited as he should be aware that his 'we' is something a great deal of Illinoisans don't agree with, then again being a socialist democrat billionaire he was probably using the royal 'we'.

Again with the muskets!

"Our Founders" carried the standard military fire arm technology of their time. Yet 21st Century citizens are not allowed to carry the current standard military fire arm technology? Please explain.
