Rhonda Ezell


Rhonda Ezell is a civil rights activist and gun rights advocate from Chicago, Illinois, United States. Her advocacy has centered around the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, which guarantees the right to bear arms.

Rhonda Ezell’s journey as a gun rights advocate began in 2010 when she and several other plaintiffs filed a lawsuit challenging the City of Chicago’s ban on the possession of firearms. At the time, the City of Chicago had one of the strictest gun control laws in the United States, which made it nearly impossible for law-abiding citizens to legally own firearms.

Ezell’s lawsuit, Ezell v. City of Chicago, ultimately made its way to the United States Supreme Court. In a landmark decision, the Court ruled that the City of Chicago’s ban on the possession of firearms was unconstitutional and violated the Second Amendment. The decision had far-reaching implications and set a precedent for other cities and states with strict gun control laws.

Since the Ezell v. City of Chicago decision, Rhonda Ezell has continued her advocacy for gun rights. She has been a vocal opponent of efforts to restrict access to firearms and has worked to educate others about the importance of the Second Amendment.

In recognition of her advocacy, Rhonda Ezell has received numerous awards and accolades. In 2017, she was named the “Gun Rights Defender of the Year” by the Second Amendment Foundation. She has also been featured in several media outlets, including Fox News and The Blaze, and has been invited to speak at gun rights rallies and events across the country.

In addition to her advocacy work, Rhonda Ezell is also the founder of the Chicago Guns Matter program, which provides firearm training and education to residents of Chicago’s most dangerous neighborhoods. The program aims to empower individuals to protect themselves and their families from violent crime.

Overall, Rhonda Ezell’s work as a gun rights advocate has been instrumental in advancing the cause of Second Amendment rights in the United States. Her efforts have helped to overturn unconstitutional gun control laws and have empowered individuals to exercise their right to bear arms.
