Daley is pissed. We freeped this with about 8 Freepers, but we were overwhelmed in number by the good citizens and gun owners of Des Plaines and surrounds. Among those attending were Redwing9, myself, CHICAGOFARMER, sistergoldenhair, spintreebob, TheRightGuy, facedown, and cfrels. If there were any other Freepers there that I missed or didn't meet, please let me know.

I did the best job I could writing an unbiased 'normal journalism' piece above. Let me know if it was good enough.

GOOD JOB FREEPERS!!

California bump!

Good job!!

I think it looked unbiased. I didn't see the part where you referred to the council member who introduced the legislation as a @#*&%@##. Other than that it was good.

Next time you FReep contact me or email me (Redwing9 has my email) and I'll be there.

Great job in America's Heartland...

Wonder if after the meeting Alderman Smith was met outside by a few dozen water pistols and 'Super Soakers'?

God Bless all you fantastic 'freepers'----thank you for letting the 'leftist' garbage in our nation know where free men and women stand---ww2 vet and proud gun owner

Great news but where was tecnochick this would seem like something for the two of you?

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Wow, what great news! There are a few towns here in Jersey that have banned gun-related businesses (which should really be challenged in court), and one of them was attempting to institute a similar establishment of "gun-free zones" around municipal buildings and properties, which would have in effect banned guns in the entire town. They weren't successful either.

Good job by you on your reporting, and kudos to everyone who took the time to make a call, send an email, or attend the meeting.

See, folks? We CAN make a difference, all we have to do is speak up!

Multiple gun owning KUDOS!! You made my day.

[stands2reason]

Good job!

Excellent job! I can hardly believe this happened in NE Illinois!

BUMP!

First - Laz, thanks for the great article. One, I'm sorry that I could'nt hang around with anyone after, and two I'm sorry that I'm so late coming to this thread.

Second, I hope you all don't mind my bumping you. I thought you might be interested in seeing these pictures.

TheRightGuy, back center.

"Gun Nuts"
The Crowd Gathers
1/3 of the room, TheRightGuy bottom right. This was about 5 minutes before they asked all the people without a seat to move to a separate room.
Don "The Enemy" Smith, da mayors pawn.
The first dissenting opinion, notice the Alderwoman giggling in the background as this Alderman, shall we say, reams Smith a ....
The entire Council, 7-1!

Third, I want to point out, again in this thread, the lunacy of the left. Ald. Smith went out of his way to make two points; 1) This is "reasonable gun control legislation" which the majority of Des Plaines and IL voters would approve. Of which the crowd responded, "WHERE ARE THEY THEN???". 2) "If the council was made up of 8th graders, this ordinance would pass 8-0." Yea, Don, uninformed, mushy-brained 8th graders, responsible thinkers. LOL

Thanks to all that attended, even the late arrivers, A.J.Armitage and pistias.

I urge all Illinois 2nd Amendment supporters to join the Illinois State Rifle Association. It is a fine organization and works hard in Springfield to protect and restore the 2nd. Check them out at:
