That Washington, D.C., gun ban that the Supreme Court should toss out any day now because it is unconstitutional is often compared to the handgun ban in Chicago.
But what's not often reported by the decidedly pro-gun-control media is that since Chicago's anti-handgun law went into effect in 1982, only two classes of people have had ready access to firearms:
The criminals. And the politicians.

It's a joke and not a joke. Real criminals are stupid. Politicians are sharp. Better know that when you take one or the other on.
We mouth breathers in flyover country simply couldn’t make it through our pathetic little lives each day without the guidance of our elected officials. Their lives are so much more valuable than ours, for after all, we would just shrivel up and die without them! So it’s vitally important that these, our saviours, be permitted to carry guns. Now excuse me while I look for my drool cup.
"Meanwhile, the taxpayers, who live without bodyguards, are told that if they want to protect themselves with a handgun just like the politicians, they themselves will be criminalized.
It is all about power in the end. "
Yup.
I find it hard to believe that this came from the Tribune. Sam Zell must be making big changes over there . . .

Also veterans should not be set up as a special class! We all have our duties, whether citizen, politician or vet. I hear many a vet complain about the special perks in life that politicians have granted themselves, yet where are the vets unwilling to take every special perk they can get. I am not talking about those with grievous war injury either. Vets wounded seriously in war are indeed deserving of a special entitlement as is any government employee harmed in some extraordinary service.
"What crime? Dare's no crime here."
This is a very important post, since it shows the real Obama. A bought and paid for product of the utterly corrupt Chicago machine.
Obama’s crew are sociopaths in $3000 silk suits. The gun control issue is the tip of the iceberg.
