What part of "representative government" is giving you trouble?
Excellant guess!
Yepper. Companies should move... NOW.
We would love to have you all move the factories and workers down to Texas - Income Tax = Zero here! Local and State government will make it very viable from an economic perspective to relocate the businesses.
Why isn’t this a violation of Heller?
You said it. They should all move to Texas!
Idiots.
Please come to PA!
They are more than welcome to move to NC- we need the jobs!
Crime is the last thing those that are trying to get this bill enacted into law are concerned about. They do not want the peasant having guns. The only individuals they want with guns are their servants, the police.
If the chi-scum don't want a legal tool that is absolutely indispensable for the maintenance of a free people produced in their sphere of corruption, then get thee gone!
This has nothing to do with lack of common sense. Chicago politicians are effectively owned by the Chicago mob and gangs. Thus, they want to protect their criminal funders by making it impossible for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves against the kind of extortion, threats, etc. that make the mob and gangs profitable.
"In 2001, Acevedo had a run-in with a fellow officer Dennis Canterbury, "when Acevedo showed up drunk at a city auto pound to get his secretary's car out," an incident that previously went unreported because the charges were dropped and Acevedo's record erased. But Acevedo pursued a lawsuit against a fellow cop -- not once, but twice -- for knocking Acevedo on his rear end . . ."
"His brother Joseph Acevedo is on disability from the City of Chicago, receiving $3,600 a month even though a doctor has said he has been healthy to go back to work for over a year.[5] His other brother, Manuel Acevedo, was brought up on felony charges in Florida which were later dropped after allegedly punching a bouncer for not allowing an underage family member in a club."
"Other controversies include Acevedo receiving about $25,000 from an electrical contractor that has won millions of dollars in government work — a deal Acevedo has never reported on his ethics statements."
