Dear John, The Illinois State Rifle Association is taking the fight for your Second Amendment rights all the way to the United States Supreme Court. As we expected, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against us in Schoenthal v. Raoul; now we’re appealing to the highest court in the land. This case challenges the law that says concealed carry license holders do not have a right to carry on public transportation. The problem is not only that this is a clear violation of the Second Amendment — it’s that there is no escape on a moving CTA bus or train. There is also no way for help to reach you in time. Attacks happen so fast and so close, no police officer could intervene, even if they were on board. That’s why we need your help to support ISRA’s Supreme Court appeal with a tax-deductible donation. Public transportation is one of the most dangerous places you can be. There are hundreds of violent attacks on CTA trains and buses every year — and these are only the incidents that get reported. Meanwhile, criminals roam freely as politicians keep you disarmed. Please chip in now to fuel our legal fight. The ISRA Legal Assistance Committee is presently leading the charge as a named plaintiff in two cases and supporting five more — seven cases in total, all fighting for your constitutional rights. Taking a case to the Supreme Court is no small task, but this is exactly where we need to be. Now is the time to take a stand. Donate today to help the ISRA Legal Assistance Committee carry this fight to victory. For Freedom, |
