Solving Chicago’s crime problem would require hanging most of those who vote for Daley!

Arrest and punishment for being an enemy of the Constitution.

Water board Daley @ GITMO. A Communist mole.

[bitterohiogunclinger]

Daley and his thugs should be willing to abide by their own laws then, right? There’s no need for anyone to be armed outside their homes. Including the Mayor’s bodyguards and police. Just one big happy friendly city.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The dems are fostering all the barbarians to keep them in power, one of these days it will backfire.

“Too many people can easily obtain guns in America,” Mr. Daley said at a news conference Thursday on the city's West Side, where gun violence has been prevalent.

---

Like criminals that prey on your constituents that you force to be helpless?

[Secret Agent Man]

No, they can have bodyguards. Just not bodyguards armed with firearms. We’ll see just how many people want to be their bodyguards then.

I also then would require all Chicago police to go unarmed. According to Daley, less guns == less crime. Disarm the police, crime has to go down.

[pnh102]

Daley needs to be arrested. Imagine if a local or state government decided that in response to the 13th amendment, there would be regulated types of slavery, slavery only during certain hours of the day, a ban on slave shops in a given region.

Would that fly? Hardly. There are NO states' rights when it comes to keeping and bearing firearms. NONE. The right to keep and bear arms is a God-given right, no state can deprive a law-abiding citizen of that right.

[arkady_renko]

State law in Illinois allows you to wear a firearm on your person on your own property and in and on your own business property.

I wouldn't think Daley's special rules are going to fly - can his special kingdom have rules that supercede the rules of the state it sort of resides in?

[arkady_renko]

The ordinance would limit each house in the city to one handgun that is assembled and operable. Other firearms would have to be inoperable.

Can cops have back-up guns? Or maybe they can, but only one sidearm can be operable at a time. The gun in the ankle holster would have to be assembled as the bad guy draws down.

What? Sound absurd? Citizens have no need for more than one operable gun according to this mental midget, so why do cops?

[vikingd00d]

>>The proposed “Responsible Gun Ownership” ordinance would require purchasers of guns to obtain a city firearms permit and then register the weapon with the Chicago Police Department.

If the permits are not “shall issue” or the registration requires a fee, then both these provisions SHOULD be thrown out in a court.

>>it would be illegal for owners to bring their guns outside the home.

This is an easy slap-down. Civil rights don’t end at your property line.

[Pearls Before Swine]

If you can’t bring them out of the house, how can you get them TO the house?

[pankot]

This is a great idea! Example should come from the top—and think how many un-needed police shootings of pore ‘ole black folks would be avoided! (By the way, no off-duty carry either.)

[SuperLuminal]

"A Communist mole. "

Hmmm...Doesn't "mole" imply secretive, non-obvious ideological beliefs and goals?

Hasn't the communist-derived fellow-traveler mentality of both the Daley's been totally obvious for many decades?

Just a thought...

[Graybeard58]

it would be illegal for owners to bring their guns outside the home.

This is an easy slap-down. Civil rights don’t end at your property line.

Ordinary citizens in Illinois may not carry concealed, outside their own property anywhere in Illinois.

Illinois is one of only 2 states without any form of concealed carry, Wisconsin being the other.

Chicago Mayor Proposes Tighter Gun Rules

Tighter than "You can't have one"? How do you do that? What the hell are they supposed to do, go over to Skokie and steal a few, and bring them back to Chicago and turn them in to the cops?

[ConservativeWarrior]

"It's the most easy thing to get in America. It's harder to get a car license."

How old is this moron? He sounds like a 1st grader. And a dumb first grader at that!
