More than 75 people visited Chicago Police headquarters Monday to pick up applications to register firearms on the day the city's new handgun ordinance took effect.
The ordinance, which requires gun owners to keep their weapons in their homes, was hastily crafted by the city after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the city's 28-year-old handgun ban.
"We want to know who has weapons so that first responders can be aware of that information before they enter a home," said Police Supt. Jody Weis at a news conference.

Is she trying to insinuate that First Responders will not enter a home if the person needing aid owns a weapon??
Thats ridiculous.
No, she is saying the first responders will shoot the person and then enter the home.
Jackbooted Thug says so. No mention of a 'crime' or 'reasonable cause' or 'search warrant'.....just some grade school grammar coupled with monkey-see, monkey-do police-speak.
Seems like Totalitarian Leftists always want to put people on lists ...
No she is saying that they will first take them to Costco before shooting them!
I’m sure the gang-bangers and other thugs were the first to stand in line for a registration. /sarc
Comrade Weis, that information is available on a “need to know” basis and you don’t need to know.
Dishonest governments require honest citizens to register their guns. Honest governments need not fear their citizens as a bond of trust is reciprocal.
They should plan for that each and every time, Jody.
I don’t believe the criminals will register their weapons!
Kojak and Barney Fife would have brains enough to assume that everbody does. But a dumb dumb Chicago cop wouldn’t think of that, Duh they don’t get paid to think,Duh lets head for the coffee shop, Duh, wanna a donnut duh.
First responders will be delayed while the police arrive first to confiscate the guns. Then the first responders resuscitate grandma.
If their list is wrong for some reason and shows you as having a gun when you don’t, they will blast their way in.
This is a particularly transparent ploy.
The bold type is the real truth, so when they change their minds they know where to go to confiscate them.
Shortshanks has used the “first responder” excuse for years. J-Fled is just mimicking his boss, as usual. Everyone who lives in Chicago knows where the dangerous people are, but neither the mayor nor his $330,000 per year butt kisser will do anything about it. After all, the kindly residents vote for Mr. 42 short at about a 95% rate! And if they kill each other off and take out a few white homeowners/tourists once in a while, so what? Right Mayor??!!
“We want to know who has weapons so that first responders can be aware of that information before they enter a home,”
Now let’s all watch the Criminal element in Chicago line up to Register their weapons...........................
And the lefties wonder why they get compared to the Nazis!
“I don’t believe the criminals will register their weapons!”
They don’t have to! The Supremes decided some time ago that a felon or criminal need not register a gun where registration is mandatory, since it would be self-incriminating.
Registration is just for the good guys.
It can't be very reassuring to have a complete fool as Police Supt.
Didn't they just release a poll that had 55% of the respondents labeling our National Leader as a Socialist?
