Peaceful picket planned at Mount Vernon for Kennedy visit
A small and completely peaceful picket line is being organized to greet Sen Edward Kennedy at Mount Vernon to protest his support of gun control legislation. Kennedy was set to land at Mount Vernon-Outland Airport around 3 p.m. on a Midwest fundraising tour for the Democratic nomination. The Citizens Fighting Gun Confiscation group, with central and southern Illinois chapters, opposes Senate Bill 1936 which would prohibit handgun manufacture and importing and ban transfers person to person. Mount Vernon chapter president Maxey Milner said passage would probably eliminate 75 percent of all handguns.
