Springfield, Apr 29 2024 - The streets of Springfield were filled with hundreds of supporters of the Second Amendment on April 18 as Illinois Gun Owner Lobby Day (IGOLD) took center stage.

This annual event brings together gun owners, Second Amendment advocates, and lawmakers in a collective effort to uphold constitutional rights and safeguard the interests of law-abiding gun owners. The group began their day in downtown Springfield, hosting a rally at the Bank of Springfield Convention Center. They then marched a half-mile to the Capitol, heard from various speakers, and met with their local lawmakers to discuss legislative issues related to the Second Amendment.

One of the speakers, Senator Fowler, highlighted the significance of the event, stating, "This event is more important than ever considering the recent years of attempts to erode law-abiding constitutional rights by the Majority Party."

The rally served as a platform for supporters to voice their concerns and advocate for the protection of Second Amendment rights in the face of ongoing challenges.

The event underscored the commitment of participants to engage with policymakers and defend the principles enshrined in the Second Amendment.
