Bamster refuses to learn from the English
Mayor Daley may not want the citizens to have guns, but there would be a snowball fight in Hades before he'd disarm his own police.
Imagine a world where guns were outlawed.
This happened once, in medieval Japan. In the 1600s, the Japanese had some of the most advanced firearms in the world. By the 1700s, they had none. For cultural reasons, they were banned. When Admiral Perry arrived in 1853 to forcibly open their ports to outside trade, the Japanese had no power to resist him whatsoever.
When a nation disarms itself for cultural reasons, it leaves itself vulnerable to those who did not. Period. History is merciless on this point.
