Protesters rally outside Chuck's Gun Shop in suburban Riverdale, which they say is a main source of guns used in crimes in Chicago.
RIVERDALE, Ill. -- Once again, members of the faith community took aim at Chuck's Gun Shop in south suburban Riverdale, hoping to bring attention to gun violence while calling for stricter gun laws.
Joined by their supporters, the pastors and ministers from the Chicago area held their"Die-In" on the sidewalk in front of the gun dealer, which they said continues to be one of the main sources of guns used in crimes in the city. "These senators in Washington parade fake righteousness," said Father Michael Pfleger with St. Sabina Catholic Church."They talk about respect for life. They talk about fighting against abortion in the womb, but they don't care about abortion once they are born."
