Chatsworth, IL -(AmmoLand.com)- On Tuesday night, the West Chicago zoning commission will consider a measure that would effectively ban the operation of a firearm retail store or range anywhere in the village.

This proposed measure is the dirty work of the gun grabbers and is designed to squeeze the 2nd Amendment out of existence.

IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO STAND UP AND DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS!

The gun grabbers’ plan is to inflict “death by a thousand cuts” on your right to keep and bear arms. The West Chicago zoning proposal plays right into that overall plan. Bit by bit, the gun control movement plans to diminish exercise of your 2nd Amendment rights. They’ll sit and smile while telling you they “…won’t take your guns” while, all the time, working to make firearm ownership too impractical and too expensive for the average citizen.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS:

1. Attend the West Chicago Zoning Board of Appeals/Planning Commission Meeting to be held at 7 pm Tuesday, October 4, in the Council Chambers of West Chicago City Hall. City Hall is located at 475 Main Street, West Chicago, Illinois. We recommend that you get there by 6:30 PM to ensure that you get a seat.

2. Be prepared to vigorously defend your right to keep and bear arms. You may have the opportunity to address the Zoning Commission so know your facts about your nation’s heritage of safe, lawful and responsible firearms ownership.

3. If you see members of the media at the meeting, approach them and tell them you are a law-abiding firearm owner who is sick and tired of baseless attempts to curtail your rights.

4. Pass this alert along to your gun-owning friends and family.

5. Please post this alert to any social media sites or Internet blogs to which you may belong.

REMEMBER – GUN CONTROL IS A DISEASE AND YOU ARE THE CURE

Well so far their gun ban has not worked what makes them think that banning the stores and ranges will do anything to stop their problem, the only thing they have done so far is create more victims the death rate from shootings has tripled since their gun plan. Same thing Hillary want to do create more victims by getting rid of the second amendment and banning guns so only the criminals will still have them, Idiots

Just to be clear, they’re referring to the Village of West Chicago, DuPage County. A town of less than 30,000……I don’t know if that number represents the tremendous amount of illegal hispanics or not.
This is a joke! Located between the “prestigious” town of St. Charles, and Carol Stream, where I grew up.
If these measures pass, it’s a HUGE blow to our 2nd amendmentrights.
I’m glad I read this email. I’ll be at the meeting, along with everyone I know that possesses a foid card.
Btw, I still haven’t forgiven West Chicago for Diamonds (;

Now they are the rich on your backs!!! When they ban all guns in Chicago and all the good people leave the black gangs will run the town and kill each other off. The elites will run like the scared little pussies they are and good people can go back in and rebuild the city!!!

Please please please make sure you’re wearing a nice shirt AND your teeth when talking to the media. Too often the only people the media airs on television is that one family we DON’T want to be representative of the gun community. No disrespect, and no hate, but the media will be there to find news on a hot topic. Too often these zoning meetings turn into a loud shouting mess; if the subject were race or police activity the media would stir up the masses and generate sympathy, but gun owners are scary to the public, and getting out… Read more »

Is West Chicago now an enclave for wealthy extreme Liberals? What ever happened to the group/movement from the 1970’s who called themselves “Get The Rich Off Our Backs”?
