From our friends at ISRA (because we can't be everywhere at once!):
ISRA ALERT: MARENGO RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS: MEET THE ANTI-GUNNERS AT THE MARENGO CITY COUNCIL MEETING – MONDAY APRIL 23
The City of Marengo will take a vote Monday April 23 to decide on a special use permit for a shooting range combined with retail firearm sales. There was some strong anti-gun sentiment expressed at last week's zoning hearing, with some people finding the presence of firearms sales and a shooting range particularly distressing because Marengo also has a church and a preschool.
OMG! The town has a church and a preschool! We can't have law-abiding good guys with guns around! Why, crime might go down even further in this small town!
Gun owners and especially those that live in or near Marengo are encouraged to come to the city council meeting, meet their anti-gun neighbors and offer their own voices during the public comment period.WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM
