Illinois –-(Ammoland.com)- On Thursday, April 11, 2013 the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence held an anti-gun “rally” at the State Capitol.
But they didn’t quite hit the mark – with less than 200 in attendance,(including Media) it looked more like a school field trip!
IGOLD 2013, an estimated 8000 marched in support of the Right to Carry and other Second Amendment issues. That day stands as proof that Illinois citizens support the Right to Carry and do NOT support more gun control! If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the IGOLD photo posted below is worth 8,000+ words!
ICHV claims they represent the “95%” of Illinois residents that want stricter gun control….So, if we look at the numbers….their less than 200 person turn out somehow represents 95% of the people of IL and our 8000 person turn out only represents the remaining 5%….Their numbers make as much sense as their rhetoric!
(Editors Note: The pitiful rally received extensive media coverage, almost as many media as protesters, but at IGOLD 2013 the Media was a no show.)
