For those new to this story, here's some background and the original law: http://nalert.blogspot.com/2008/05/chicago-alderman-dick-mell-re-writes.html.

Alderman Edward M. Burke (14th) stated:

"Clearly, if it's down to only 200,000 firearms that are registered now, there's something wrong. It was double that ten years ago and even more than that years [before]. It started out as only a handgun registry. Now, it's a shotgun registry. It's time to take a look at it."

(From the Sun-Times article)

"Those who arrived in Chicago after 1983,aren't allowed to own guns."

Uhh...

People risked their lives and many died trying to gain freedom by crossing the Berlin Wall from East Germany. Why would it be surprising to see people fleeing a tyranny before the wall goes up?
