A Message from Dan

I would first off like to apologize for our tardiness of this newsletter. We have been involved in many new tasks and ventures here at the Bullet Trap. Expansions, new classes and training, ILCC renewals and second amendment efforts. The primary purpose of this newsletter is to inform you of an upcoming Trifecta concerning your gun rights. We have highlighted three major gun rights events happening in the coming week. I hope every last one of you will make an effort to get involved in some or all of these.

These involve a grass roots effort that desperately needs to be supported. The legislature in Springfield has a stacked deck they will be dealing from with a super majority to support it. But there are a few bright spots on the horizon and in some recent decisions by district judges supporting the constitution and the second amendment. We must maximize any victories and build and maintain momentum to support this effort.

These are dark times in Illinois for gun owners with passage of recent legislation and coming legislation as well. Now is the time for all of us to band together and attempt to recover our gun rights.

As a last note: the law suits, injunctions and court rulings that have recently shed some sun light on our parade are courtesy of the folks, and yes money, of the NRA, ISRA, GSL and others. It is critical that we support those organizations as best we can. No one else is out there fighting for us. Perhaps you don't agree with everything some of these organizations do but make no mistake, they are the only ones fighting the fight with us. Hope to see you at many of the upcoming events, we will be there and hope you will to.
