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.
Perhaps because Chicago pols are not known for respecting it in the first place.
Sounds like the Chicago Machine is preparing to “finalize” they’re hold on the country.
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.
Paging Henry Bowman....
“Everyone is asleep if they dont think that mass confiscation is in the works.”
MOLON LABE.
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!
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
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.
It’s almost time to play Hungry Hungry Hogs.
Time to feed the hogs.
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.
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.
