The Illinois State Rifle Association has sponsored a rally to the IL capitol for the past few years. The only news organizations that cover the event are the local stations in Springfield IL. No coverage in the Chicago area news. The picture below highlights the difference in size of the crowds that attend these events. There was an anti-concealed carry rally at the capitol one month after the Illinois Gun Owner's Lobby Day (IGOLD).
If the media doesn't cover the event, it didn't happen. Of course the anti-gun event got plenty of coverage in the Chicago area. The media is also to blame in the war against guns.
