Darien City Council considering assault weapons ban, magazine capacity limit, and conceal carry limits at July 15th meeting!

Beginning at the 24 minute mark of the June 17, 2013 Darien City Council Meeting video on YouTube, the City Council is considering the following including an assault weapon ban, magazine capacity limit, and conceal carry limitations.

The issue will be discussed in more detail at the Monday, July 15th meeting held at City Hall on Plainfield Road in Darien.  The meeting starts at 7:30PM and is open to the public.

I urge Darien residents who are concerned about their 2nd Amendment rights to "Keep and bear arms" to contact Darien leadership to voice their concern and to attend the July 15th meeting in person.  Phone numbers and email addresses are available at: http://www.darien.il.us/Government/ElectedOfficials.html

Current Illinois law requires a FOID card to purchase, own, or use a firearm or ammunition.  FOID cards are issued through the Illinois State Police.

I urge citizens not to be swayed by what is incorrectly being portrayed by the media as increasingly-frequent, rampant acts of violence being committed by isolated, mentally ill individuals who do not represent the 99.9% of law-abiding American citizens who enjoy shooting sports.
