Fight guns in Chicago, Michael Bloomberg (barf alert)
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 04 dec 2014

Posted on 12/04/2014 5:09:28 AM PST by rellimpank

Come to Chicago, Michael Bloomberg — in a big way — if you really want to fight gun violence in America.

If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

Among American big cities, Chicago suffers one of the highest per capita rates of gun violence. And you, since stepping down as mayor of New York, have established yourself as a national leader — certainly the leader with the deepest pockets — in the uphill fight for sanity in gun laws. No city or state could use you more.

As we wrote in an editorial last month, Chicago and Illinois are begging for strong leadership on gun control, and we actually believe our incoming new governor, Bruce Rauner, is well positioned to assume that role. By taking up the cause of gun law reform, Rauner could build a crucial bridge to the state Legislature’s Democratic leaders.

Frankly, I’m all for severe gun control in every major and minor metropolitan urban city in this country.

I want the liberal denizens there to be unarmed. I want them helpless. MORE GUN CONTROL in DEM URBAN AREAS!!!!!!!

Obozo has two years to get the guns.
Chicago too cold and too humid.

The Combine is reading the riot act to Bruce Rauner.

IL is like Haiti. And now its newly elected GOP governor is being invited to trample over the Second Amendment rights of the state’s citizens.

After all, the notion of the Little People having the temerity to defend themselves and their families with their lawfully acquired guns drives the state’s fixers up the wall.

Led of course, by the Chicago Sun Times.

Get him a free appartment on the south side with no cheaufered limo, etc. Then he will have more time to address the problem, IF HE LIVES.

I used to travel to Chicago regularly for my work. It was bad then. Today, I avoid Chicago at all costs. I live around 350 miles from there and will never go back, even with a free ticket.

What they need is a few more gun control laws.

Maybe Bloomburg should just go to South Chicago and kindly ask th GD for their guns. I’m almost certain they would kindly oblige.
