Show up in Court this week. I don't know how much longer they will be in court, but Ron sent out a message that Buffalo Range is looking for folks to show up at the courtroom and show our support for the range. It is critical that the judge see that there are just as many people that want the range open as are trying to close it.

Quoted:
Has anyone contacted the NRA ILA or ISRA to inquire about assistance? If so what were they told? I'm surprised that one of them isn't all over this with the state being involved. Why would ISRA get involved? If BR gets shut down permanently, they get to rattle their sabers to get more members. Also with one less range out there, more people will end up joining the ISRA range. |

I suppose so, but it would be in their best interest to support gun owners rights as apposed to not. They would probably get more members if they did. When an organization that has been based on, from their website:
"The mission of the Illinois State Rifle Association has not changed – only the challenges have become more taxing. One of the greater challenges, on the foreign front especially, is the way our enemies go about attacking us. The most troubling though are our domestic adversaries – they want to disarm the civilians of Illinois and to prevent us from shooting, hunting, collecting, or even owning a firearm. As we stand at the threshold of our second century, we are continuing to promote marksmanship and gun safety, but our role is widening beyond our Founders’ wildest dreams. Politicians, whose actions 200 years ago formed us for the protection of the United States, now betray us, as well as the ideals that made this country great. Hunters are attacked by animal rights activists – and the law protects those activists. Public hunting lands, purchased by special taxes imposed on hunters, are now closed to those same hunters; mayors and other politicians whose policies have caused segments of our society to go out of control blame gun owners for their failures; radical anti-gun organizations partnering with major news media seek to make gun ownership, sport shooting, hunting, collecting, and even self-defense illegal or impossible. And who is still there, continually standing guard? The Illinois State Rifle Association. As you can see, we have come a long way since our beginnings and we are still in the forefront fighting for freedom. If you believe in personal freedom and want your children to have a fighting chance to taste it, you should join the Illinois State Rifle Association. We would like to have you as a member. You have made the right decision by joining the ISRA. We hope you will go out of your way and recruit other members that you know will have the same ideals and goals." Time to pony up and put their money where their mouth is. |
