I did not see a similar thread, forgive me if one exists. ( I put this in the Pit because if things get heavy and sweary and insulty we’re where we need to be.) So, Democrats doing the right thing. Post your examples, if you’d be so kind. I’ll start: Here is Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announcing the nation’s first ban on book bans. > **[Watch: Pritzker signs bill making Illinois first state to outlaw book bans](https://www.nbcchicago.com/top-videos-home/watch-pritzker-signs-bill-making-illinois-first-state-to-outlaw-book-bans/3159869/)** > > The legislation, which was authored in response to efforts in other states to restrict access to reading materials for political and personal reasons, passed the Senate in early May after being approved by the House last year. ---

They need to get ahead of themselves and ban book-ban ban bans. ---

I appreciate you starting this thread where you did. Here in Oregon, we Dems (and some sane Republicans) are trying to impose some common sense gun control: > **[Firearms groups rest case in constitutional challenge to Oregon’s new gun laws](https://www.opb.org/article/2023/06/06/oregon-measure-114-update-lawsuit/)** > > Firearms groups who filed lawsuits in federal court in Portland challenging the constitutionality of voter-passed gun laws rested their case Tuesday. The constitutionality of the new law as it is framed within the 4 corners of the document is currently under challenge. I’m following this case for a ruling. But thank Dems for its passage under Measure 114 on the ballot in November 2022. This is _my opinion_ about doing the right thing. I don’t offer it as a basis for yet another debate on gun control.
