The National Rifle Association sued the City of Chicago, Illinois and Village of Oak Park, Illinois so citizens could protect themselves with handguns.
We lost. Gun ban won. The word came down June 2, 2009.
These two municipalities ban the possession of most handguns. But you are probably thinking we won in Washington, DC with the Heller case didn’t we? Didn’t that clear the right to own a handgun to protect yourself?
No. Here is why:
The courts felt that Washington, DC and the Heller case dealt with law enacted under the authority of the national government, while Chicago and Oak Park are subordinate bodies of state.
In short, courts are deciding the Constitution of the United States and the 2nd Amendment doesn’t apply to the entirety of the United States of America.

What is your response?
Will you join the NRA so we can keep fighting these fights? I know you will never give up your guns but will you allow the government to take away your right to own them? If so then America’s firearm heritage will be destroyed in one generation. Haters of Liberty 1, Freedom Fighters 0 - Don’t let it happen.
