REP. SCOTT DRURY AND CONCEAL CARRY IN ILLINOIS

Rep. Scott Drury will be holding Town Hall Meetings across his District with anti-gun advocates and groups. In my opinion, Rep. Scott Drury is an anti-second amendment politician that is merely a puppet of Gov. Pat Quinn and Speaker Michael Madigan. Rep. Scott Drury is the same guy that was the Ram Rod for Gov. Quinn's AWB Ordinance idea. Rep. Scott Drury voted against the Passage of the Conceal Carry Law in Illinois...even though a Federal Court and our own State Supreme Court had struck down the Illinois Ban on Conceal Carry as unConstitutional! What does that say about this Highwood based politician? If he, as a former federal prosecutor does not understand and respect our Constitutional rights and the court orders of our judicial system... then in my opinion he should be barred from practicing law and thrown out of office. Who votes for a man that violates his oath of office? Who supports a man that wants to strip the citizens of whom he represents, of the constitutional rights that our courts say we are entitled to? Why? Why would anyone support this Representative? Why would you vote for a guy that wants to go against a federal court order, to stop violating our Constitutional Rights? Our own Illinois State Supreme Court struck down the Ban on Conceal Carry... yet, Rep. Scott Drury still stood opposed to doing the right thing, and he voted against Passing a CCW Law that our courts had Ordered Illinois to Pass! Now, he want to Pass more restrictions and conditions and infringements on a CCW Law that he voted against. When will Rep. Scott Drury "get it"? When will the people who vote for him "get it"? The Constitution of the United states of America, supersedes any law Passed by state or local governments. Conceal Carry is legal in all 50 states and that is a good thing. An armed woman in Detroit, Michigan saved a man being beaten by an angry mob. It is further proof, that a gun in the hands of a law abiding citizen is a very good thing in deed. We need to stop Rep. Scott Drury and his wrong minded ways...
