Six years after the state Supreme Court dismissed his $433 million lawsuit against the gun industry, Mayor Daley today called for a change of venue — to the World Court normally reserved for disputes between nations and crimes against humanity.
Wrapping up the sixth annual Richard J. Daley Global Cities Forum, Daley convinced more than a dozen of his counterparts from around the world to approve a resolution urging "redress against the gun industry through the courts of the world" in The Hague.
"This is coming from international mayors. They're saying, 'We’re tired of your guns, America. ... We don't want those anymore because guns kill and injure people,' " Daley told a news conference at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Especially in places where "good folks" are banned from having them.
Like Daley's Chicago, where some want to call in the National Guard to patrol the streets and curb the violence (it wouldn't, but it still might be a good opportunity for a popcorn vendor)
But all the gun violence you see from other countries involves AK-47s.
For that kind of treason, I'd prefer he danced at the end of a rope.
The rest of IL wouldn't mind that one bit. Chicago out of Illinois!!!

bttt
No world court decision that violates the Constitution will be binding upon an American company. Daley can also be slapped with a court order to cease and desist.
And then? Seriously, what do these pinheads think the "World Court" will do? Are they going to invade and (try to) take our guns? Yeah, good luck with that.
What about the 4x4 industry?

Sounds like treason to me, too!!
It is, but not becauese of denial of Civil Rights, or even Constitutional ones.
Giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.
Article III, Section. 3.
Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort
Art. III section 3.
Does an enemy have to be declared "officially" to be one? If so, we ain't got many enemies under Obama, except maybe Tea Party types, racist sexist homophobic rednecks. But no foreign ones.
I would imagine a prosecuter would have to prove that the ones aided or comforted were enemies, but otherwise, what's so special about them being declared so ahead of time?

There have been so few people actually successfully prosecuted for treason (well short of 100), it's really a guess. But, I would imagine the prosecution would like to enter into evidence something that objectively identified the foreign group or country, as an enemy.
If you read the Adam Gadahn indictment, it makes specific reference to the fact that he's alleged to be a member of Al-Qaeda, and that Al-Qaeda has been named as a foreign terrorist organization.
Even his father,pragmatic liberal that he was, was not that far into Progressive One World Communism. The Daley Dynasty must end.
who cares what some european bolshevik mayor thinks about anything here?
He should be removed in shackles."
He should have been put in shackles after that stunt with Meigs Field.
Broke my heart I had used Meigs for over a decade, we used to bring our King Air 200 in twice a week.
I’ll put as many bullets between as many eyes of as many U.N. invaders as some “World Court” sends to try to take my guns.
Just sayin’...
