Arlington Heights, IL was going to allow the MDA-IL chapter (w/ a membership of 3K 'likes' on FB) at an 'anti-violence' event but not any pro-rights group.
Not going to fly.
The ISRA reacted by emailing its members and "[advising] them to call
the park district to complain and then" to attend the event to counter
Moms Demand.
The ISRA also asked members to alert every NRA member in the area and ask them to attend as well.
On August 4 the Moms Demand chapter emailed Arlington Heights Park
District director Steven Scholten to say they had changed their minds:
they will not be attending the National Night Out Event.
And the local paper even called it as they saw it:
Moms Demand Action, a group advocating gun control
