I’ve been looking for a video of his full remarks, but have only found snippets. Let me know if you find one!

From the drudge article:

“Mayor Daley, a proponent of strict gun control laws, wasn’t happy about the Supreme Court ruling, calling it “a very frightening decision.”

“If they think that’s the answer ... they’re greatly mistaken. Then why don’t we do away with the court system and go back to the Old West, you have a gun and I have a gun, and we’ll settle it in the streets if that’s they’re thinking.”

“It is frightening that America loves guns,” the mayor said, “and to me, I think this decision really places those who are rich and those are in power, they’ll always feel safe. Those who do not have the power do not feel safe, and that’s what they’re saying. If you’re elected officials, you feel safe. You cannot carry a gun into a federal building. You cannot carry a gun into a federal court. So they’re setting themselves aside, and really, they’re saying to the rest of America that the answer to all the constitutional issues is that we can carry guns. And I just don’t understand how they came to this thinking.”

A BTT for Mayor Daley. I feel his pain. Honest.

Results don’t matter to liberals. As long as they march in Marx’ footsteps.

He and the rest of his ilk should pay for the lives lost due to the ban.

P!ss on the lot of them!

Heard Hizzoner on WLS today. Funny how he can't run in front of a camera fast enough when there's a school shooting, but turns into a sputtering mess when the Supreme Court issues an opinion.

I liked his line about the "elites" choosing to arm the little people to the little people's detriment. How many armed bodyguards does he have again? He had a fat cop sitting in front of his South Loop townhome even when he was at the office. Drove past him five times a week for years.

He sounds bitter.

[VideoPaul]

And he has the gall to call OTHERS elitists?? I wonder how many people whose last name wasn’t “Daley” were killed while that cop was sitting in front of his home when hizzoner was at work miles away?

[1rudeboy]

I’m almost certain that’s the word I heard him use. “Elitists.” As if he’s Joe Sixpack.

Bang!

Daley knows all this. He knows that his gun ban protects the criminal class who make the big donations to the Obama organization and those of the other politicians in the Chicago machine.

I would imagine his fear arose out of the recognition that the gravy train is over.

Dick Daley is a thug and a coward. He wants to deny to Chicagoans what he arrogates to himself and his family. And he's made sure the rest of Ilinois is forcibly disarmed too. If he thinks guns aren't needed for self defense, let him get rid of his 24 hour security detail and try to go about life like his fellow Chicagoans. Then he can tell us whether the handgun ban still works. But he should get off his high horse and stop telling people they can't defend themselves in his city. Its none of his business if they do.

I wonder if Saint Obama (whose massive campaign donations from Tony Rezko are JUST COINCIDENCE, he had NOTHING to do with Rezko AT ALL...)is appecting donations to his campaign directly in stolen goods, street drugs or enforcement money?

I’m sorry, did I say that?

Now Living in Vero Beach, FL., and enjoying CC....

Take it like a man, “Dickey Boy”!!

Doggone, you know that stuff goes through “other hands” first. That’s part of the deal.

Hey, I'm living in Virginia and we got Shall Issue CC AND there's nothing at all required for Open Carry. Just a holster ~ strap it on ~ take a stroll.

Got a lot of the Supremes living over here too ~ IT'S MUCH SAFER!
