| Illinois State Rifle Association Urges Hunters and Sportsmen to Oppose Constitutional Convention |
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA): The ISRA is urging state hunters, sportsmen and gun owners to vote “NO” this November on a ballot initiative to hold a state constitutional convention. The ISRA believes that holding a constitutional convention would open the door to significant changes in the state constitution and thus imperil the rights of law-abiding gun owners. “The delegate count in a constitutional convention would certainly be stacked in Chicago’s favor,” commented ISRA Executive Director, Richard Pearson. “Consequently, Mayor Daley would have carte blanche to craft the Illinois Constitution to his liking. Daley has said in the past that, if it were up to him, nobody would be allowed to own a gun. You can bet that if Daley is given the opportunity to meddle with the state constitution, he would seek that end.” “We understand that a lot of law-abiding gun owners feel that a constitutional convention would provide an opportunity to correct deficiencies in Section 22,” continued Pearson. “Under ideal circumstances, that opportunity would exist. However, as long as the Chicago Machine is in charge of the process, that just isn’t going to happen.” |
