Mayor Daley, who travels everywhere surrounded by armed guards with submachine guns, lectures the peons on the joys of being disarmed by law.
There is an especially hot place in hell for such hypocrites.

Since the Supreme Court upheld the individual right to own guns last summer, one municipality with handgun bans after another has faced reality. Washington, which lost the case, changed its law. Morton Grove repealed its ban. So did Wilmette. Likewise for Evanston. Last week, Winnetka followed suit.
Then there is Chicago, which is being sued for violating the 2nd Amendment but refuses to confront the possibility that what the Supreme Court said may apply to this side of the Appalachians.
When it comes to firearms, Mayor Richard Daley is no slave to rationality. "Does this lead to everyone having a gun in our society?" he asked after the ruling came down. "Then why don't we do away with the court system and go back to the Old West, where you have a gun and I have a gun and we'll settle it in the streets?"

I meant 2008, not 2998. Typo, sorry
Homegrown political machine.
Obama’s, Ayer’s, Dohrn’s, and Daley’s hometown.
This from one of Obawan’s key mentors. Anyone think Obawan will let the laws stand in the way of what he wants?
If there was any doubt that Daley is BHO’s de facto boss, the Emanuel appointment should have ended it.

A good reason to get the NRA Life membership.
There were a lot less Shootings then than there are in Chicago's Murder Capital today.

I just sent in the paperwork to become a member of the NRA. Next step is to become a life member.
I would recommend the rest of you reading this article to follow suit if you are not already a member. If we expect to save the US Constitution, we need to stick together to do it.

Okay...let's do it!!
I read somewhere that Chicago has a higher mortality rate for a certain group that is higher than Iraq. Yeah gun control really works Daley, you stupid douchebag tyrant.
Hey Daily. Look out on your streets and the outlaws are running the show. Not your corrupt cops.
I am surprised Steve Chapman wrote this. He is a Democrat, and a pretty committed liberal.
If the law abiding citizens get guns does that mean the thugs won’t run Chicago anymore?
That is my guess.
Maybe they should check the water supply up there. That place seems to breed idiots.
I should have bought my gun before I got sent to Iraq. It’s gonna be a lot harder, and more expensive, when I get home next summer.
Why not start by taking away the guns of Daley’s security guards and the Chicago PD.
Notice, when everyone had guns and we were settling it in the streets, There was much less crime and politicians adhered to the constitution as if their life depended on it.
Well, if they want one, yeah. That is what a right means. I mean, that's less expansive than the normal leftist definition of a "right" where society is obligated to buy it for you if you can't buy it for yourself.
The Old West was a very respectful time. Why?
Everybody was armed
