23. It was over-the-top and the response comparing him to ISIS was over-the-top, as well.

I understand his frustrations with addressing gun violence in Chicago.

It's good that he hasn't actually murdered or harmed anyone and is using the legal system to seek redress.

But the Illinois State Rifle Association is calling on its member to attend the rally and to buy a firearm to show support for the store. In a public notice, the ISRA wrote: "Few will forget Pfleger's rant in front of Chuck's several years ago when he called for the ISIS-style murders of gun-shop owners."

Pfleger calls the comparison "unacceptable." "When you identify me as a terrorist because I want responsible gun ownership, that takes it to another level," Pfleger said.

Anti-gun advocates point to a 2012 University of Chicago study that found Chuck's to be the No. 1 supplier of guns used in Chicago crimes over a four-year period.

"They've supplied over 1500 guns to criminals and prohibited purchasers," said Juan Altamirano of the Brady Campaign.

This report makes no mention of a call for murder. SecularMotion Jul 2015 #17

That, presumably, is why you posted it. This is the press release at the time. beevul Jul 2015 #18

It's there, but it sounds worse when taken out of context SecularMotion Jul 2015 #21

The context - was an angry crowd trying to force their way into his store DonP Jul 2015 #22
