Please join us:Monday, April 2, 20186:30 pm – 8:30 pmYellow Box Community Christian Church1635 Emerson Ln.Naperville, IL 60540Free and open to the public register at https://foster.house.gov/GunViolence Would be great to get some pro-2A folks from his district to publicly refute his poor positions.

Ashdump Posted March 22, 2018 at 03:32 PM Share Posted March 22, 2018 at 03:32 PM It would be good to have some locals attend who can bring some logic and reason to counter the histrionics and outright lies that are sure to be the theme of this panel.

cybermgk Posted March 22, 2018 at 08:35 PM Share Posted March 22, 2018 at 08:35 PM my gun grabber Us Rep learned a lesson. He only does phone town halls now. AND, they never let me past the moderator if I say what I wish to talk about, and have accidently cut my connection, when I lie about it. What remains is an echo chamber with softball or setup questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddan Posted April 3, 2018 at 12:13 AM Share Posted April 3, 2018 at 12:13 AM The good news: majority of attendees appear to be pro gun rights. Bad news: otherwise a waste of time in the prepared remarks. Bill Foster drags out the old tropes 30,000 gun violence deaths, etc), one of the Mom's who lost a son telling her sad story, two high school students who organized walk-puts at their schools, and a Pediatrician from Something called Illinois violent death reporting system. She was at least objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
