CHICAGO, June 28 /CHICAGOPRESSRELEASE.COM/ — The following is a statement by Richard A. Pearson, Executive Director, Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA), regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the McDonald v. Chicago case:
“On behalf of the officers, directors, and members of the Illinois State Rifle Association, and law-abiding citizens across Illinois, I would like to express my utter delight over the Supreme Court’s decision in the McDonald case. Today is certainly a great day for anyone who believes in the timeless wisdom the founding fathers set as the foundation of our Bill of Rights. As happy as we are with the Court’s decision in McDonald v. Chicago, we must all keep in mind that our work is not finished. The McDonald decision, along with the Court’s 2008 decision in the D.C. v. Heller case, serve merely as cornerstones to a much larger effort to fully restore the law-abiding citizen’s rights guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution.”
“In the weeks and months ahead, our legal staff will be thoroughly analyzing Illinois gun control statutes along with the myriad of local firearm restrictions to assess their compliance with the McDonald and Heller decisions. Law-abiding Illinois citizens may rest assured that the ISRA will employ whatever political or legal means are necessary to ensure that no element of government persists in infringing upon their constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.”
“In closing, I would like to recognize the tireless efforts of all of those who helped make this day possible. Among those are the named plaintiffs, the Second Amendment Foundation, the National Rifle Association of America, and the many dozens of support elements who contributed greatly to the success of this challenge to the egregious infringement on individual rights. But, most of all, I would like to recognize the 80 million or so law-abiding American firearm owners whose patience and determination have served as such great inspiration during this 40-year fight to restore honor to, and recognition of, the Second Amendment.”
The ISRA is the state’s leading advocate of safe, lawful and responsible firearm ownership. For more than a century, the ISRA has represented the interests of millions of law-abiding Illinois firearm owners.

I wish the voters see what type of monster they’ve got fit from the Light Home.
I likeseeing Barack and Michelle lecture, although I don’t necessarily believeeverythingthey are saying!
Peter is right Short Shanks will empty the bag to prevent the law abiding people of Chicago from handgun ownership the same thing they went to washington for. Get a FOID card if you don’t have one then go buy a good large caliber hi capacity auto in .40 or .45 caliber and keep it handy in your home.
Call your Aldermans every week or oftener & express your distaste for Daley’s shenannigan hand gun
laws. Keep your hand gun quietly in your home & hopefully you won’t need it but if your home does get broke into then shoot the perps multiple times. His stupid laws will not hold water very long and you will be alive because of your choice instead of dead by Daley’s choice.
Daley will continue to deny your rights with registration,insurance requirements and whatever he can think of to make firearm ownership onerous. If you live in shitcago go get the Illinois Republics FOID and buy a gun. F- – - – Daley
Mayor Daley…..Crawl back in your hole. We won.
