McHenry County became the 75th county in Illinois to adopt a resolution opposing the enactment of any legislation that would infringe upon the right of the People to keep and bear arms and stating that such legislation would be unconstitutional and beyond lawful legislative authority.
This Resolution is aimed directly at Illinois lawmakers who are attempting to restrict the lawful ownership of firearms. This seems to be, but is not limited to, the Cook County contingent of legislators.
Isn't it interesting that Chicago prohibits the ownership of handguns, and yet it has an extremely high murder rate?
Numerous pieces of legislation are pending, and two may come to a vote even tomorrow.
The People of Cook County need to get right in the faces of their elected representatives and question them about the oath of office they took to uphold the Constitutions of the United States and of the State of Illinois. Both speak to the right to bear arms. Cook County residents should be swarming the offices of their representatives, demanding the right to own a handgun.
Can you just picture trying to defend yourself in your home with a rifle or a shotgun? By the time you swing it around and find your target, you'd be a strong candidate to wear what was my favorite t-shirt years ago. It had five bullet holes on it, with red stuff (simulating blood) running down, and the legend on the t-shirt was "Slowest Gun in the West."
The County Board voted unanimously in favor of the Resolution tonight. Thanks to all 23 who were present tonight!
You never know who is interested…
