Rabidly anti-gun Congressman Mike Quigley (IL-5) will
be holding a public hearing on a bill he has
co-sponsored that would put gun shows under the
supervision of the federal government. The bill, HR
2324, would subject gun show hosts to a slew of
pointless, time consuming regulations in addition to
heaping all sorts of red tape and record keeping
requirements on gun show hosts and participants. The
ultimate goal of Quigley’s bill is to make hosting a
gun show too much of a hassle to endure. As a result,
this bill would quickly make gun shows disappear all
together.
It should be noted that Congressman Mark Kirk (IL-10)
is another co-sponsor of this slap to the face of the
2nd Amendment.
THINGS YOU NEED TO DO TO SAVE GUN SHOWS:
1. Attend the hearing on HR 2324. The hearing will
take place on Thursday, August 19, at 9:00 AM at the
Dirksen Federal Building, 219 South Dearborn, Room
2510, Chicago. Be advised that the Dirksen building is
a secure facility. You will have to go through a metal
detector to get in. So, make sure your pockets are
empty of anything that could get you in trouble. Do
not do or say anything that could get you in trouble.
When you get to the hearing, politely express your
disapproval of HR 2324.
2. Contact your federal representative and politely
tell him or her that you are a law-abiding firearm
owner and that you oppose HR 2324 and that you would
like them to vote NO on the bill should it reach the
House floor. (
Find your Representative: IL State Board of Elections)

4. Please post this alert to all internet blogs and
bulletin boards to which you belong.

Remember, gun control is a disease – and you’re the
cure!
