National Lawmakers Meet in Chicago to discuss Gun Control
WBEZ ^ | August 19, 2010 | Sarah Smith

National lawmakers were in Chicago holding a Congressional hearing on proposed gun control legislation today.

The Closing the Gun Show Loophole Act would require private sellers at gun shows to perform background checks before selling firearms. Illinois passed a similar law in 2005.

Jody Weis is superintendent of Chicago Police. He says the law should be implemented in all states.

WEIS: It's just common sense legislation. I don't see how anyone could say this is restrictive when we're simply asking for a background check if you're going to buy a weapon. This is pretty simple to understand.

Thirty-three states, including Indiana, allow private dealers to sell guns to anyone without a background check.

According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, only seven states require background checks at all gun purchase points.

This is their attempt to outlaw private sales. Next they will not allow dads to pass down guns to kids - and if they do, fines and jail time.

Oh yeah, all those controls sure work well in Chicago don’t they? Everyone is asleep if they don’t think that mass confiscation is in the works. Believe it.

Why is their choice of Chicago to meet to plot against the Constitution not surprising?

Perhaps because Chicago pols are not known for respecting it in the first place.

Jody Weis doesn’t just like Daley’s shoes, he licks the soles of Daley’s shoes and asks for more.

Better known as a meeting to figure out another way to bypass the 2nd amendment.

LESSON NO. 2: If a bureaucrat, or a soldier sent by a bureaucrat, comes to knock down your door and confiscate your firearms -- kill him. The disarmament of law-abiding citizens is the required precursor to genocide.

I suspect that the “Syndicate” wants to maintain control in Chicago, and to do this, the citizens must not be armed!

If Chicago people want control, they should know what they need to do!

It looks like it's time for Americans to put into place some Politician Control.

The 10th was negated the first time a state accepted anything from the Federal Government. IMHO

My thoughts exactly. The “domestic enemies” are lining up against the law abiding lovers of our Country and Constitution. Time to reread the book for its entertainment value and comfort.

Sorry Jody. What works for you maggots in the Chicago sewer doesn't work in Arizona. Stick it buddy. We Arizonans take the Bill of Rights seriously.

Chicago and NYC lead the nation in homicides. Gun control (banning) may have something to do with this. This causes those of us in the out-lying areas to prepare to deal with thugs who are conditioned to acting out against un-armed citizens, brazenly.

They breed the roaches and we take them out. Don't think so? Every town bordering a major, liberal metropolis will have numerous incidents of citizens fighting against perps with whatever they have at their disposal- guns being among the most efficient. Urban trash conditioned by dis-armed homies are trash nonetheless. To be fair, someone should pay for taking the trash out, that's all.
