Gun Violence Prevention
Team Meeting
Day of Action
Monday, April 14, 2014
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Arlington Heights Memorial Library
500 N. Dunton Ave.
Arlington Heights, IL
Come join us for refreshments as well as an opportunity to join in a conversation with others on the issues involved in gun violence prevention.
After our discussion we will focus on the Thompson-King bill ie. Public Safety & Second Amendment Rights Protection Act of 2013 sponsored by Mike Thompson (D-CA) and Peter King (R-NY). This bill protects the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, and at the same time supports keeping guns out of the wrong hands. This bill warrants swift background checks, no creation of gun registries, and simplifies the transportation of guns for law-abiding citizens.
Currently there are 186 Democrat co-sponsors of this bill and only TWO Republican co-sponsors!. We will be calling constituents in the Rodney Davis (R-IL) and Arron Schock (R-IL) area of Illinois which includes Springfield and Champaign area. We will be encouraging constituents to ask Davis and Schock to co-sponsor the Thompson-King bill.
Any questions? Email Linda at lwaycie@wowway.com, Natalie at nataliejun@aol.com, or Nikoleta at nikoletalelis@gmail.com.
