					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>IFA Staff Reports</em></p>
<p>We were very impressed with his presentation and the question and answer session with Woodford County Chief Deputy Sheriff <strong>Dennis Tipsword, Jr.</strong>  Not only does he have 27 years of law enforcement background, with a specialty in drug interdiction, he owns three small businesses, including an ammunitions machine shop.</p>
<p>Dennis is passionate on the right to life, ethics in government, responsible spending, and preserving Second Amendment rights to protect our families. His experience as a police officer also informs his opposition to the expanded &#8220;comprehensive&#8221; sex education mandate which, in our opinion, is nothing more than grooming innocent and vulnerable children for early sexual activity.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/06/dennis-tipsword-earns-ifas-endorsement/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>&#8220;Seriously,&#8221; You might ask?  &#8220;How will you manage that?&#8221;</p>
<p>Those who actually understand traditional Christianity know that devout Christians typically make the best citizens, even under totalitarian regimes, because we understand and accept the biblical injunction to submit to authority, even when it is unreasonable, so long as it does not demand disloyalty to Christ.  Therefore, my suggestion that there is biblical support for the Second Amendment will likely surprise many because that Amendment is sometimes perceived to provide means for overthrowing a government. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/01/a-biblical-defense-of-the-second-amendment/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>For every person who fits the profile of the El Paso shooter, there are likely thousands who fit the profile of <strong>Maurice Hill</strong>, the man arrested for shooting six cops in north Philadelphia [last week]. Based on a quick look at court documents from Philadelphia and Delaware Counties, Hill has a rap sheet dating back to 2001 that includes charges for illegal gun possession, drugs, driving offenses, assault, burglary, theft, robbery, kidnapping, and attempted murder.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/08/the-same-people-who-pushed-early-release-for-gun-felons-now-want-to-take-guns-without-due-process/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
