Paul Helmke's confused

On an interview on FoxNews, Paul claimed that Obama "only voted to keep 18 year olds from having Concealed Carry permits, he wanted to keep it at 21" (3:00 min in).

Well, that would have been pretty standard except for the fact that Illinois DOESN'T HAVE CONCEALED CARRY!!!* He even voted against people w/ restraining orders from being able to get them (he claimed a slippery-slope) and has stated he wants a federal law banning it. As one of only two states that doesn't have CCW, one would think Paul should be able to remember that. It also sort of negates Pauls claim that "Obama wants local controls to trump federal ones". It's true in part, but only if the 'control' is anti-gun.

The vote that Helmke 'probably' meant is the one where Obama voted against dropping the age for the FOID card (needed for ownership or purchasing) from 21 to 18. The FOID in no way authorized CCW. As one of only two states that don't have CCW, one would think Paul should be able to remember that.

So to paraphrase Tom King, was Helmke misinformed, confused, or lying?

Wayne Lapierre then proceeds to spank Paul's peepee.

Don't ya feel just a tad bit lazy when Paul makes it so damn easy to spank 'em?

I imagine Helmke running up to a fence sitter coming over to his side and then bitch-slapping them and screaming about getting off his property.

I'd have to go with lying. He has lots of practice.
