Of course, what hunters and trapshooters have to do with the Second Amendment is beyond me. Unfortunately, many hunters don't believe that the fight affects them.

I grew up in Southern Illinois (O'Fallon) and I see nothing has changed. The turds in Chicago referred to us down-staters as "bumpkins" (with varying foul modifiers), especially when we resisted sending more money to sinkholes like Chicago and East St. Louis. How like them to think the entire state exists just to serve them.

Last year, ISRA got the right idea.

Rather than just fighting defensive battles against Daley's antigun jihad whenever he proposed new state legislation, ISRA began doing what any mayor of a corrupt failing megalopolis failed most - actively lobbying in the state legislature against his pet bills for financial aid for his city!

It's time for all Freepers and other gun-rights activists to join the battle - by boycotting Chicago tourism and Chicago-made products and services. Make Daley scream!.

Scandals of antigun politicians - coast to coast!

I've been a trapshooter for 40 years when my Dad taught me when I was eleven years old.

More people die from lightning strikes on golf courses than accidents on a trap range. Let's outlaw the game of golf.(sarcasm) Or declare war on the eeeevils of lightning strikes... geeez. When is this going to stop?

Thank you for posting this. This has been a hot topic on the Trapshooters.com forum for over a year.
Many were very concerned, that this would happen.

There are states, other communities that would love to have this industry.

"For years we've heard Daley administration officials crow about how they support hunters and sportsmen," continued Pearson."

. . .cannot, should not. . .trust a Liberal - period.

Too late smart for too many. . .and in the end; we all lose.

I think there is a silver lining to this story.

Up until recently, I thought that describing a politician as a "gun-grabber" was a little rediculous and even slightly paranoid. I actually believed that most of them were just misinformed or misguided people trying to do what they thought was right, and had no intention of significantly curtailing gun ownership or hunting. But instances like this rediculous attack on trapshooting have really demonstrated to me how naive I was.

Every time anti-gunners try to pull stunts like this, marginal gun owners or gun enthusiasts will join our cause, or find renewed interest in it.

The Richard Daly "regime" is more appropriate.

There's a real lack of sensitivity on this thread. Recent PETA research shows that clay pidgeons have feelings just like other animals. The poor little dears feel terrible pain when the buckshot hits them. I understand Bridget Bardot is starting a clay pidgeon rescue farm.

Not being a hunter, I cannot speak for them. But, I do know, that many trapshooters (majority being mature men), are very concerned about Second Amendment rights.
