Gun Rights Leader: 470 Murders in Chicago, Rahm Emanuel ‘Has Some Blood on His Hands’(IL)

(CNSNews.com) – A gun-rights group says that Chicago’s Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel bears some responsibility for the murder rate in the Windy City, which now totals 470 homicides this year, because of the strict gun-control laws there.

“Rahm Emanuel has some blood on his hands,” said Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, in a statement. “He and the city council have done everything possible to prevent law-abiding Chicago residents from exercising their restored Second Amendment rights in the two years since the Supreme Court’s landmark McDonald ruling.”

In June 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against a handgun ban in the city of Chicago in McDonald v. Chicago.

But just four days after the Supreme Court decision, the Chicago City Council adopted the Responsible Gun Owners Ordinance which, among other restrictions, requires prospective gun owners to take a firearm safety course at a gun range in order to obtain a permit to own a gun in a home. At the same time, the city council’s decision placed a virtual ban on gun ranges in the city.

In the MSM, leftists and progressives are never responsible for anything bad, and conservatives are never responsible for anything good.

It's very likely this professional midget puts on camo or a hoody and goes out running with the street gangs and gets some himself.

This man needs a crisis to govern, he will turn this into a reason to raise more tax money and take away more civil rights.

It’s obvious. The left DELIBERATELY and intentionally, with full knowledge and awareness, lets criminals keep their illegal guns, while it moves closer to taking guns from honest, law-abiding citizens.

That way the crooks can just walk right in and take what is “rightfully” theirs.

Government’s incessant meddling with gun control will only exacerbate the problem.

Queer lefty Marxists do not give a rip if someone else is killed, as long as he thinks that he himself might be a bit safer. He is guarded by police with guns, let the rabble thin themselves out to their hearts content. If everyone had guns, his perceived advantage with his armed guards would be less. So screw the peons.

Politicians do not fear thieves, thieves are smart enough to leave armed people alone. Politicians fear the people, who understand that Politicians are thieves. Politicians know that gun control only works on law abiding people.

If a politician is for gun control, you know that he knows he deserves being killed and is afraid of the people.

Wanna know what I think? Fluoridation and the gun culture: They are inextricably intertwined. You know when fluoridation in Chicago first began? Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946. It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Chicago water treatment works. I, uh... I... I... first became aware of it during the physical act of love. With a woman. I experienced a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women. But I... I do deny them my essence. How does my hair look?

Wow, 470 deaths already, and the year’s not out yet. (Last year it was 445.)

And that number doesn’t include injuries, psychological trauma, families ruined, etc. Way to go, Democratic Chicago.

AND YET, fraud aside, all these council members and The Mayor were elected by the citizenry .....

Chicago voted this piece of garbage as their mayor.

They are reaping what they wanted. Free will and all that.

Don't forget, The Chicago City Council members do have concealed carry.
