We need local bodies. They are trying for a deerfield with their own AWB. We really need local residents to speak if any are around. The moms are well ahead in organizing at the local level. Details can be found over at Illinois Carry in the Illinois Politics forum. Thanks

I posted a general notice in the anti tracking thread. This is a national project with dozens of events planned. For those of you in Illinois who live near the following, a counter presence might be useful. As Breitbart reports: On the heels of last month’s anti-gun, anti-Trump March for Our...

As Breitbart reports: On the heels of last month’s anti-gun, anti-Trump March for Our Lives adult-funded and backed protest by teen survivors of the Florida school shooting that killed 17 people at a Florida high school, another left-wing event is planned for Saturday. The event is organized...

In my opinion you can count on Fox to generally be the voice of the right of center DC establishment while CNN is the voice of the left of center DC establishment; MSNBC the far left and the rest in between CNN and MSNBC. By comparison Fox is decidedly more conservative but it's a lot more...

I know three lobbyists in an industry that is perhaps the most regulated in America and that gets significant national attention and that usually has to fight not only "do gooder" politicians but much more powerful industries (with much deeper pockets) in legislative battles that will tell you...

For each person going to this site there are probably 2-3 people you know, maybe more than that, who are gun owners but not involved in securing their rights. In some cases it is laziness. In others defeatism. In others they don't understand the meaning of the 2nd and are in the "used for...

Quick Draw, my understanding is the same lame duck session. Quinn is also, apparently, working some pension reform deal in the same session.

Here's a funny thought I just had. This is so overreaching it hardly makes sense even as an initial negotiating position. The antis would clearly love to see this happen but as pointed out it is so extreme even if it passed a super majority it would face a hard time in the courts post Heller...

Just as important... call any gun owners you know and get them to make their calls. A lot of gun owners don't even know about this and many can be very complacent. Help them with the senator/rep contact info if you have the time. As a goal try to get at least 1 new person politically involved...

Yeah. I'll shoot a letter off right away to Dick Durbin and Roland Burris.

To be fair, the CPD has a LOT of operational and infrastructure issues, including lack of numbers, that are budget related and caused by Daley and his community bribe programs, general waste, graft, and corruption. Only so much money you can squeeze from the turnips living in the tax capital of...

Ahhh, there's the problem. You confuse the current Republican party and especially the current president with being conservative in any sort of traditional manner. Hell, they don't even pay lip service to such basic tenants as fiscal conservatism anymore.

Ahhh, BUT, firearms have also evolved from weapons used "only to kill" into common carpentry tools, supplementing the drill. For example, producing holes in a wall to run a satellite TV cable: http://www.kctv5.com/news/15698864/detail.html Or, as an alternative to an impact wrench...

WTG. By selecting you to interview and looking at the Pink Pistols perspective it may very well be balanced. They could certainly have found more stereotypical people/groups that would have played into a negative tone if they wanted to. HOLY CRAP! I hope they don't find out about that here...

A few thoughts. Unfortunately, a weekday will have far more impact if we can get sufficient numbers to peacefully fill, or better yet, overfill the plaza and actually disrupt traffic. Hard to marginalize or ignore that. The coverage will also be more effective during the week from a...
