Gun Control On A Local - Country - International Level

There has been a lot of interest, by gun owners and 2nd amendment advocates, in Hillary Clinton's comments for an international gun ban treaty. It would appear that the immediate danger of having "The One's" administration circumvent the US Constitution by going for an international treaty seems unfounded or unlikely. Keep in mind that we have seen when the Liberals/Progressives get a little opening they will stop at nothing to get their left wing agenda passed. You can read in the above article from fact check that they don't shut out the possibility that "The One" would use a treaty as a way to get rid of gun rights - it just says that he has not done anything to substantiate the rumors.....yet. With the sales of guns and ammunition going through the roof it would seem the public does not trust the new administration.
One of the hot topics for gun rights in the country is the decision of the Supreme Court in the McDonald vs Chicago case. Mr. McDonald is a 76 year old man that would like to keep a gun in his home (which is against the law in Chicago) for protection. As is the case with most gun laws - this has not stopped the kids and gangs from killing each other on the streets of Chicago. If you have to ask why it has not stopped the gangs and criminals from killing people or each other you need to go to a dark room, turn the lights off and just sit there.......you are part of the problem!
Here is the progress of the Supreme Court ruling on the McDonald vs Chicago case. It would seem that the outlook on the decision has the gun rights advocates going for broke because the mayor of Peoria is hoping to ride this wave into getting conceal carry in his city. His hope is that giving every day law abiding citizens the ability to defend themselves will help curtail the increasing crime rate in Peoria.
Here is a small fact for you to chew on - there are 2 states that have no provisions for conceal carry - in other words there are only 2 states in the USA that do not allow conceal carry at all Illinois and Wisconsin.
It isn't only Illinois gun rights advocates having an on going battle with the Liberal leaders of their state WI has its own conceal carry battle going on.
Stay tuned - being a gun owner and 2nd amendment supporter I have a vested interest in the outcome of these issues. I will keep you as informed as I can.
