“A measure supporting residents’ right to own guns is under consideration in some area counties. A group of gun-rights advocates is bringing the non-binding resolution before county boards across the state. The measure would affirm citizens’ Second Amendment protections in order to send a message to state lawmakers. ‘It merely asks the legislators that if they’re going to propose a new law, they uphold their sworn oath by not passing any laws that would infringe on the rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution,’ Oswego Township Trustee Tom Yackley said Tuesday. … The force behind the measure is Illinois Pro 2A Resolution.” (05/07/08)
