I am a law-abiding Gun-owner and a proponent of the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution. I believe that every American has the right to defend themselves and their family against the growing population of criminals that are becoming more and more prevalent in our society every day. Unfortunately, I live in Illinois, One of the two states in the US that doesn't recognize the 2nd Amendment. I received this today, and will be attending. Thought I'd pass it on to like minded individuals here.
"As you well know Illinois is one of the only two states in the Nation that deny law-abiding citizens their right to keep and bear arms that is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution. This has been the case for quite some time and there are a great number of Illinois law-abiding citizens that are quite unhappy with being looked at as victims by the Democrat-controlled Illinois State Legislature and Governor.
On July 11, 2008, an Historic event will occur in Chicago. On that day, thousands (hopefully HUNDREDS of thousands) of law-abiding citizens will converge on the city and rally for the restoration of our 2nd Amendment rights. This will be an event to mark down on your calendar.
