Two members of the Peaceful Communities group protest outside Five Star Firearms. (Photo: Yadira Sanchez Olson \/ Lake County News-Sun<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Three lonely protestors stood outside Five Star Firearms<\/a> in Zion, Il., last Saturday, holding \u201cRenounce violence, Reject guns\u201d signs and blaming the firearm industry for crimes committed with guns in the United States.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Tribune<\/a> was the only major news outlet to cover what may have been the world\u2019s smallest protest. The tenth largest newspaper<\/a> in the country didn\u2019t offer any justification for highlighting an anti-gun group that has less than 600 Facebook<\/a> likes, but it did give the protest organizer a chance to explain why he \u201copposes guns in the hands of citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToo many people are being shot and killed, and the gun industry is making millions,\u201d said Lee Goodman, founder of Peaceful Communities. \u201cWe need to speak up and say the industry should be held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another protestor, Chester Kulis, joined Peaceful Communities because his brother was shot to death during a robbery in Chicago in 1972. \u201cWhen I was in school they used to teach us to hide under the desk in case a bomb hit,\u201d he said. \u201cNow they’re teaching children to hide in classroom closets from people with guns. Where are we headed with this senseless violence?\u201d<\/p>\n

Kulis doesn\u2019t seem to realize that Chicago has passed the kind of gun restrictions he and Goodman are pursuing and that they haven\u2019t done anything to reduce crime. Despite years and years of handgun bans and ammunition restrictions, Chicago still has one of the worst crime rates in the country<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To be fair, the Tribune article did allow employees and customers of Five Star Firearms to defend their constitutional right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n

\u201cA gun is a tool,\u201d said Wadsworth, Il., resident Albert Clark. \u201cThe person using the tool should be held accountable for what they do with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another employee, Clinton Hartford, stressed gun owners\u2019 responsibility to secure their firearms and noted that Americans can\u2019t \u201cpass the buck\u201d to gun retailers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do everything by the book here and follow the law,\u201d he said. \u201cIf someone is irresponsible outside of that, they should be punished accordingly. If you plow into someone with your car, should the car industry be blamed for that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Goodman didn\u2019t have a good response to either gun owner\u2014at least, if he did the Tribune article didn\u2019t include it. The article ends by restating Goodman\u2019s belief that the gun industry should be \u201cheld responsible\u201d and reports Goodman\u2019s intention to continue his protests throughout the summer.<\/p>\n

Peaceful Communities is doubtless trying to capitalize on Judge Barbara Bellis\u2019s recent decision<\/a> to allow a lawsuit to go forward against Remington Arms. The suit, which is being brought by families of the victims of the Newton shooting, holds that gun makers should be held liable for crimes committed by a third party.<\/p>\n

Goodman\u2019s group is yet another attempt by the anti-gun community to blame legal businesses for the tragic decisions of criminals wielding guns. Anti-gunners haven\u2019t been able to get their policies through Congress, so they\u2019re seeking to bring down the gun industry in the marketplace. With liberal judges as their allies, these groups are looking to circumvent the American people and push their agenda any way they can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
