Daley’s such an idiot. The people that want to be able to protect themselves and their families FROM criminals are not the same group of people that actually ARE criminals.
Grandma is not a criminal. Father is not a criminal. Mom isn’t a criminal. Rapists, murderers and thieves are criminals. And the criminals are already walking around your precious liberal enclave with guns right now. Your laws mean nothing to them, Daley. You just make life more dangerous for the law-abiding people. And you turn them into victims and use them as political pawns to justify your continued disarming of them.
Poor, poor Daley. He is going to discover, as citizens living in right to carry states have long ago discovered, in the months after it becomes legal for all citizens to arm themselves that the incidence of all sorts of crimes will plummet, giving the lie to his desire for another two to three thousand Chicago cops (and their votes and the votes of their family members) for the “good of the public.” Gee, Dick, maybe after plungers aren’t the exclusive province of city plumbers and everyone knows how to unplug their own toilets we won’t have such a chronic back-up problem for which you want to extort more money.
