Chicago activists staged a Second Amendment rally today because Mayor Daley, the proverbial ostrich, continues to keep his head stuck in the sand regarding the need for women to be able to protect their children and grandchildren (and men, too).
There are some who suggest his head is stuck somewhere else, but I'm not going to comment on that . . .
Nevertheless, there are pictures aplenty. Estimates are that some 300 people turned out for the Friday midday rally. And it wasn't a Midwest "whitebread" crowd. Men, women and children of all races were on hand to demand that the Windy City -- and Illinois -- restore their basic human right of self defense. The rally was co-sponsored by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) and IllinoisCarry.com. Very smartly, they took out permits to hold the rally on state property, rather than on city property. Hehehe . . .
Best sticker slogan (IMHO): "I'm a Bitter Gun Owner and I VOTE!"
NOTE: I am seeing nothing yet in the way of news coverage from the Chicago Tribune's website. But there are extensive stories on "iPhone mania" sweeping the city. Sheesh . . .

Mr Greer,
The fine mayor has to pick the lint out of his navel to enable him to see. I believe that is where some folk think he has his head.
I think Mayor Daley, as well as the mayors of some other cities, should be charged with conspiring to violate the constitutionally protected rights of U.S. citizens. This is after all, a civil rights issue, since most firearm laws are directed to impact upon the most disadvantaged in our society.
A- Thanks for writing. Picking lint out of his navel...an interesting viewpoint. I agree that these prohibitions impact the most disadvantaged. That is why the recent lawsuit filed in Chicago is going after the prohibition on people being able to keep a sidearm to protect their children if they live in public housing. No mother or grandmother should have to live in fear not just of gangs, but of government arresting her if she keeps a firearm to keep her kids and grandkids safe.
