On Wednesday an estimated group of five thousand citizens lobbied the State Legislature to ensure their Second Amendment rights of gun ownership. Before they had even arrived the Chicago Democratic controlled Legislature killed in committee the concealed carry bill. Forty-eight other states have some kind of firearms concealed carry law and have not seen any problems. The Dem leadership also made sure all State Senators and Representatives were busy in committee and in session. These private citizens without any aid from local government or national special interest groups, organized, marched, and lobbied their State Government. The key words are “their State Government”, not the State Government. This is how the Founding Fathers thought government should work. It was too bad the Chicago Democratic Party did everything they could to discourage this demonstration. The government does not belong to any political party it belongs to us.
