Some "pro-gun" bills are making their way through the Chicago legislature, and that has Illinois Governor and gun fearing wussy Rod Blagojevich quaking in his boots.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Thursday promised "wholesale vetoes" of several pieces of pro-gun legislation if lawmakers do not pass an assault weapons ban, underscoring the governor's tough new gun-control attitude.

Reacting to Thursday's House passage of a pro-gun measure he had already promised to veto, Blagojevich signaled he is losing patience over lawmakers' refusal to pass some of the gun control measures he supports while they advance a gun-friendly agenda.

The "gun-friendly agenda" that has the Illinois governor so scared, is actually not very gun-friendly at all. In fact it's more of a pro-self defense legislation.

The gun legislation passed in the House was inspired by a Wilmette man who shot an intruder in his home, then was charged with violating the city's gun ban. The legislation would allow someone to use self-defense as a legal argument in court.

The bill passed 90-25 after an amendment was added to make certain that the self-defense argument could be used only if people shoot an intruder at their home or office, supporters said.

"I was shocked at the number of votes that proposal received in the House," Blagojevich said. "So I would say get your work done, send it to us, and I'll veto it right away."

Illinois' governor is so rabidly anti-gun that he's willing to sacrifice a homeowner's right to defend themself from attack in order to advance his own personal agenda. (An agenda that the Illinois House and Senate don't seem to be interested in.)
