Huge Gun Case Settlement Hits Chicago Where It Hurts SAF has received the largest check in the history of the foundation - and it's from a fervent anti-gunner! X-Obama White House Chief of Staff and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel signed a check to SAF for $399,950, as ordered by the court for the legal costs to successfully defend the Second Amendment in the Supreme Court case of McDonald v. City of Chicago. HELP US MATCH RAHM EMANUEL'S $399,950 CHECK for SAF to Continue Defending Your Gun Rights. We Have 17 Other Important Gun Rights Lawsuits To Fight. And More Ready To Be Filed! WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOUR HELP! Please help us achieve our goal of raising $399,950 by March 1st! Blatantly violating the Constitution, the invasive law banned legal gun owners from having handguns in their own home for self-protection.  Our succes in the Supreme Court and the settlement check prove that your financial support and dedication to protecting the Second Amendment is working and working well. Chicago's reimbursement check to SAF with Emanuel's signature is so large due to the city's pattern of jacking SAF around as a strategy to deliberately run up our legal bills to discourage all legal action. The strategy is not working and Dave Workman from the Examiner reports, "The city is doing it again in another SAF-funded case, Ezell v. City of Chicago, related to the city's ban on gun ranges inside city limits, despite a city requirement that people applying for Chicago gun permits must take a training course that includes live-firing at a gun range."
As a result, the city of Chicago will likely also owe the foundation money for Ezell v. Chicago. So, this isn't the first check to SAF that Obama's former chief of staff is going to have to sign.

The gun haters wasting no time, enacted new restrictive gun laws again. So SAF has filed another lawsuit against the state of Illinois. In the Moore vs. Madigan lawsuit we are challenging Illinois laws that prohibit citizens from carrying a loaded handgun for personal protection. On February 3rd, federal district Judge Sue Myerscough ruled that the Second Amendment DOES NOT give Americans the right bear arms outside their homes. Judge Myerscough said, "[Although the] plaintiffs argue that the Second Amendment protects a general right to carry guns that include a right to carry operable guns in public ... [the] Supreme Court has not recognized a right to bear firearms outside the home." The Second Amendment does not say, the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed except outside your home or that it only applies inside your house. We don't check our constitutional rights at the front door. HELP US MATCH RAHM EMANUEL'S $399,950 CHECK for SAF to Continue Defending Your Gun Rights.

This radical Obama appointee has trashed the Constitution and believes our God-given rights should be decided in the court room. SAF has since filed an appeal. As you can see, we still have a long road ahead of us. We need your support to continue to respond to the anti-gunner's aggressive assaults against our Second Amendment Rights. We are fighting back in courtrooms all across the country. Right now, we have 17 different lawsuits pending. And more ready to be filed. The outcome of every one of these cases will affect the rights of you and future generations of Americans for years to come. Protecting our God-given rights is too important to ignore. Will you help me safeguard our right to keep and bear arms with a generous tax deductible donation? Any amount will make a significant impact in our ability to continue our litigation.

If we don't unite to stop each and every attack on our right to keep and bear arms we could lose those God-given rights FOREVER. Donations of all sizes are desperately needed to stop the gun grabbers. We don't have any time to waste. Please send a tax deductible contribution of $20, $25, $50, $100 or more if possible. Much is at stake. Together, we can preserve the Constitutional rights our Founding Fathers intended our people to have forever. For more information about SAF go to www.saf.org Thank you.
