Texas Gun Dealer's Awesome Christmas Video

This video has a surprise ending. It's actually a clever ad for TIGER Valley, a firearms and operational skills training facility located in central Texas. It's a good promotion for the Second Amendment, too.

Lunch And Guns In Chicago's Loop

July 9, 2010 - Wondering what to do for lunch in downtown Chicago today? Here's a suggestion: Take your bag lunch over to the Thompson Center and join the Second Amendment Freedom Rally, where representatives from the ISRA, IllinoisCarry, the Second Amendment Sisters and others are holding the third annual Second Amendment Freedom Rally (SAFR). It started at 11:00 a.m. goes until 1:00 p.m. at the James R. Thompson Center (map). More info at Examiner.com...

Alert! Chicago City Council To Discuss Supreme Court Handgun Ruling

Action Alert! A source within the Chicago Police Department sent this email to me today: "Tomorrow's City Hall meeting at 1:00 p.m. [on Tues., June 29] will address today's Supreme Court decision concerning Chicago' gun ordinance. There will be buses from Area 3 [police] headquarters, 2352 W. Belmont, by 11:45 a.m. to City Hall. Please attend." Chicago's City Hall is located at 121 N La Salle Street in the "Loop" (map). His Supreme Highness Richard Daley's office is on the fifth floor, by the way. He loves having voters stop in, so go up and say hi. It should be a good show. While you're there, notice that even as Mayor Daley speaks about the evil of guns, the City Hall chambers will be protected by people who have - you guessed it - guns. Daley's own bodyguards, positioned nearby, will be carrying guns. Aldermen are (were) excempted from the handgun ban, and so there's a good chance that a few of them will be packing heat, too.

Megan Fox Debuts Her Gun Rights Song at Tea Party

In the video below, Megan Fox sings what may be the best song about gun rights that I've ever heard. She wrote "Mama's Got A Smith & Wesson" just a few days before she debuted it at the Homer-Lockport Tea Party rally on April 6, 2010.  Megan is a mom, a patriot, talented songwriter and has a blog called Intolerant Fox. Let's hope we hear more from her. (For more information about conceal and carry, visit the Illinois Carry web site.)

Evanston Shoots Down Gun Ban

Liberal Evanston, Illinois has given in to common sense and repealed its ban on handguns. The vote in Evanston was an overwhelming 7-1. That leaves the People's Democratic Republic of Oak Park as the only Chicago suburb that still has an unconstitutional ban on handguns. Nobody is surprised. Chicago, of course, still has its handgun ban in place. Is it working? Hell no. The murder rate is up 18% from a year ago. Make no mistake, however. The Evanston City Council did not repeal its ban out of love for the Second Amendment or for the people's right to defend themselves. ABC7 Chicago reports that an Evanston official explained explained the vote: "I give Mayor Daley all the credit in the world for hanging tough," said Jack Siegel, attorney for the city of Evanston. "But the fact of the matter is, we think they do not have the high probability of succeeding. And we would rather have an ordinance that's enforceable. And we're thinking the ordinance is subject to attack." [Source] So, Mr. Siegel gives Chicago Mayor Daley credit for hanging tough, eh? Apparently Attorney Siegel has as little respect for the U.S. Constitution as Daley does. At least Siegel - and the Evanston lawmakers - could read the writing on the wall. The old ban became unenforceable after the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Washington DC ban unconstitutional. Give them credit for being pragmatic, at least. Not so with Mayor Daley and his stooges on the Chicago City Clowncil, who are determined to continue to violate your right to own a tool of self defense. Daley and others cling to the belief that a handgun ban prevents gun crime, a belief that boggles the minds of more rational people. It also has the affect of amusing criminals. It is clear that the Daley Handgun Ban is not saving lives. Chicago police -try as they might - cannot be everywhere at once and can only rarely stop crimes before they are committed. That being said, Daley should get out of the way and allow citizens the ability to defend themselves. As the Chicago Tribune reports, Chicago’s murder rate is up 18% over the same time frame last year. 62 people were killed in the month of July alone, and there were several high profile shootings, such as the Taste of Chicago shootings or the murder of a cop with his own gun. In the overwhelming majority of these murders, criminals used handguns, despite 20+ year long ban on handgun ownership in Chicago. Clearly, the criminals are ignoring the handgun ban.
