Obama Doesn't Want You to Attend - GRPC
We Patriotic Americans know that Obama is Unpatriotic. as he spews hate for America and appeases and supports, the United Nations, Socialists, Communists, Radical Muslims members, who all hate America and it’s Freedoms and Wealth and Power and want to banish it forever, starting by demanding in a World Gun Ban Treaty, that Americans should be disarmed and all gun ownership should be banned forever…………

Illinois "Assault Weapons Ban" is Back & the Fight Is On
I support very limited concealed carry but I’d rather keep Illinios laws the way they are. Weapons manufactured, sold, and smuggled from the US into Mexico are being used to commit crimes against law abiding citizens and are being used against the Police in Mexico’s drug war. US citizens shoot and kill each other at the highest rate per 100,000 in the civilized world, yet people fight to overturn common sense gun laws that keep guns away from kids, out of vehicles, and off the streets. The reason criminals have easy access to guns is because too many “law abiding citizens” over the years lost or misplaced guns or someone stole them from a vehicle or unsecure storage. What’s the solution? The problem is so complex and gun culture so engrained that guns will likely always be a problem for generations to come. Thank goodness for common sense gun laws in Illinois. The estimate is that over 50% of the population will suffer from some form of mental illness over his or her lifetime. With a gun readily available to a person who is depressed or psycotic, the end result, as many American families know, can be a tragedy.
