We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
I've gotten a lot of calls about this weekend already. And between the Illinois State Rifle Association's email to members and our new issue of GunNews and our website's promotion of this Saturday's coming counter-demonstrations, plenty of people have noticed. The media are excited, salivating over a potentially contentious "coming…
Illinois gun owners live their lives without thinking much about gun control - most of the time. Right now though, Illinois gun owners see red with the passage of bills to ban common guns and standard-capacity magazines. To say nothing of the efforts of gun control industry radicals to…
At Guns Save Life, we don't manipulate the public. Instead, we want to help educate the people and help them understand the truth so that we will all be better, smarter citizens. Two weeks ago, we helped promote a very successful gun rights rally in downtown Bloomington. More recently, we've fired up the…
Here's the scoop as I understand it: In an interesting turn of events, Senator Kwame Raoul, the moderate-talking but really avowed Leftist appointed to replace then State Senator Obama some years ago, has introduced an amendment to the House's bump stock ban (HB-1467).

Congressman Adam Kinzinger has never been to a Guns Save Life meeting. Heck, he probably doesn't even know who Guns Save Life is. "Guns Save Lives who?" he might mutter. His primary challenger knows though. Jim Marter's hip-deep in his campaign to unseat Kinzinger and uphold conservative values while supporting…
Senator Andy Manar needs to hear from gun owners. The Illinois Gun Dealer Licensing Act was vetoed today. Andy Manar ducked out of a vote on its passage in the Illinois Senate last April. Now, he's acting dodgy on whether he'll vote with the gun owners in his district. In…
Governor Bruce Rauner has quietly told some pro-gun folks of his opposition to the Gun Dealer Licensing scheme for months now. Not even a couple of weeks ago, at a fundraiser event in Southern Illinois, Rauner told an attendee of his intentions to veto the bill. Now, the Chicago Sun-Times…
Join patriotic Americans on Sunday, March 18th for a genuine grassroots rally to support gun rights in Decatur, IL. The event will kick off at 1:30pm on the sidewalk in front of the Law Enforcement Center at 333 South Franklin St., in Decatur. It's expected to last until 3pm or…
Jim Durkin's offices aren't getting enough phone calls. I managed to reach both his District Office # (630) 325-2028 and his Springfield Office # (217) 782-0494 without catching a busy signal at 10am this morning. We need to call him early and (more) often. For those who missed it earlier: House…
Americans love their great nation. Americans also love God, guns and apple pie. Folks in Central Illinois held a big rally Sunday afternoon in support of patriotism and gun rights near downtown Bloomington. 159 people signed in at the Bloomington Center for Performing Arts as the rally began. Probably a couple…
