Please-
Cabela's gun section is of only microscopic import here. Cabela's could shutter it tonight forever and it would make little business difference to them. Not that it would be good, or that they would want to, but it wouldn't kill them.
The Village of Hoffman Estates already bent over pretty far to get Cabela's in. But they have absolutely no impact on the Cook County Board. None. They could call Daley all they want- he wouldn't even know who they were or what they were talking about.
But as much as I agree that activism might slow down the train a little, please keep in mind, that if Daley put it to a referendum within the County of Cook, to ban the private possession of firearms, it would very likely pass.
Certainly, if such a vote were held in Chicago, it might not even be close.
And even if it was, don't lose track of who owns, maintains, and operates the voting machines.
Meanwhile, yes, I'm doing calls and faxes. But all we can hope to do is slow it up a bit.
