mikew Posted May 4, 2016 at 08:43 PM Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 at 08:43 PM Anything to report?IT was the typical liberal hang-wringing. Rubicon and I held the fort. Robin Kelly was late, they delayed the start of the meeting for her, but not for the Brady guy. They let Kelly speak first, she suggested that she was unfairly tagged as a gun-grabber, but in the same brief spiel managed to call for a renewed national semi-auto ban.SHE LEFT THE ASSEMBLY before the others on the panel were done speaking! Rude Rude Rude. The Brady guy had shown up by then and they let him speak last. He his facts wrong about the triple village lawsuit.He also repeatedly mentioned the ATF and the gun dealers that Brady does not like in the same sentence. Mike Neirhiem held his remarks to crime and penalties, did not demonize guns or gun owners. The staffers for Durbin and Morrison offered what one would expect from them, lukewarm anti-gunnedness with a short blast of semi-auto ban. The mayor and/or the police chief passed around a poster board with pictures of the cellphone-looking gun, and remarked on how terrible a thing it was,and requested that people request the banning of such. The police chief was the moderator and called on me and Rubicon to let us ask questions, which of course turned into statements. I remarked for those who questioned how we could have meaningful dialogue that they never would as long as they demonized gun owners and had lopsided panel discussions.I pointed out the 3 anti-gun legislators or their appointed stand-ins, and the presence of the Brady's, without any conservative legislators or pro-gun groups./I got to point out that everyone could find common ground if we talked about reducing crime. Rubicon gave us the particulars of a recent murder in highland park that occurred with illegally held firearms. Denyse Stonebeck (Niles suit) got to speak, but did not seem very effective.

After Jeffery's suggestion and my email to Ideal Conceal, Kirk Kirk Kjellberg, CEO Ideal Conceal, Inc. contacted Highland Park and told them to stop using his image. Any amount of pushback on these people has got to help! Seems like a good guy - he is still trying to get approval to sell this in 0.38 - after that he is planning on making it in 9mm.
