Thanks to all of you who called the campaign offices of
Dianne McGuire to demand an explanation of her anti-gun
views, including campaign worker promises to close down
Naperville Sportsmen’s Club “. . .once and for all.”
Based on the feedback we got from many of you callers,
the McGuire staff was generally rude to you and claimed
that they, the McGuire staff, are actually NRA members
and that the ISRA-PVF is lying about McGuire’s stance on
guns.
The real truth is that McGuire has been running on an
anti-gun platform. Here is what we know to be the facts:
-
McGuire campaign literature
says she supports a ban on so called “assault
weapons.” Well, as most of you know, these bans on
“assault weapons” include provisions to ban and
confiscate all semiautomatic rifles, shotguns, and
pistols. Such legislation also includes licensing and
registration of all guns and gun owners. Any person
who supports an “assault” weapon ban is, by
definition, “anti-gun.” McGuire is anti-gun.
-
McGuire’s campaign
literature bashes her opponent, Darlene Senger, for
supporting laws that would allow law-abiding citizens
to carry defensive firearms to protect themselves and
their families from violent criminals. McGuire’s
apparent opposition to Concealed Carry definitely
paints her as anti-gun.
-
The ISRA-PVF has it on very
good authority that McGuire campaign workers have been
telling Naperville residents that McGuire will use the
Illinois EPA and State Police to shut down the
Naperville Sportsmen’s Club. McGuire’s own web site
makes note that she is an active member of the
Naperville League of Women Voters. Many of you may
know that the Naperville League of Women Voters has
spearheaded persistent campaigns to shut the
sportsmen’s club down. The League has compared
trapshooting activities at the sportsmen’s club to
gang activities at the Cabrini Green housing project.
The connection between McGuire and the League of Women
Voters is clear.
-
McGuire has been endorsed by
Sarah Brady and Handgun Control Incorporated (http://www.bradycampaign.org/media/release.php?release=1038)
Only anti-gunners like Dianne McGuire get endorsed by
the Bradys.
So, today, we are asking you
to once again take action to preserve and protect your
right to keep and bear arms. . .
-
If you have previously called the McGuire campaign
office, and have been told that McGuire is not anti-gun
and that the ISRA-PVF is lying, then please call the
McGuire campaign office once again at (630) 579-6696 and
tell the person who answers firmly, yet politely, that
you do not appreciate being lied to and that you know
the facts and those facts indicate that McGuire is
antigun. Suggest to the person that McGuire read the
U.S. Supreme Court’s Heller Decision so that she may
come to the understanding that the 2nd Amendment to the
US Constitution guarantees the INDIVIDUAL right to keep
and bear arms and that individual right shall not be
infringed through banning guns or shutting down shooting
facilities.
