Long-time supporter of gun control; more criminal penalties
On most issues Ryan took more politic stands. He had backed gun control since 1989, supported gay rights, and opposed corporal punishment. He set out his own priorities: putting 51% of new state revenues into schools,
life sentences for criminals who use guns and injure or kill people, disentangling the “Hillside Strangler” intersection of the Eisenhower Expressway and two tollways.
