Mayor Daley today denied that he’s making Chicago gun owners jump through hoops to exercise their Second Amendment rights and expressed confidence the city’s new gun law can withstand a court challenge.

“We’re not jumping through hoops. We have to have accountability. ... This is protection of the city from lawsuits from a lot of people,” the mayor said.

“You have to ask for reasonable gun laws. Until the federal government seizes more illegal guns, that is the issue.”

Per the 2A, there is NO SUCH THING AS AN ILLEGAL GUN. Possession by some may be illegal, but the gun itself? Nope.

Clueless Daley leads the charge on guns.....say, what is the death count for Chicago this year?

A recent weekend was :

59 shot
13 dead

Just what is it about these figures that make you think your gun control plan is working?

Daley needs to be retired, he is useless.

Useless would be a step up. He is actively working against the Constitution.

The federal government should seize illegal politicians.

One thing I can’t understand is, if the law says it is illegal to possess a gun expect in your own home, how do you get the gun home from the store in the first place?

Logic and gun laws are mutually exclusive.

But, he added, “If you go in the military, they have months and months of instruction. The Chicago Police Department has months and months of instruction to fire a handgun. Handguns are used to kill people. When you take a gun and point it at somebody, you have to kill that person in your home. … That’s why instructions are so important.”

Baddabing, baddaboom.

Daley is a typical lying, faggot loving, baby murdering, raghead embracing liberal demoRAT piece of human dung. And those are the best things that can be said of those people.

“We’re not jumping through hoops”

Hizzoner might be reminded that the accusation isn’t about him and his sycophant city council, it’s about what he’s making Chicagoans do who would exercise their rights to the extent of the recent USSC decision. Of course he knows that; he twists everything, like rats DO.

How about retiring him & legislating that he CANNOT have any bodyguards?

Then let’s see how he feels about having guns for self-protection.

Nothing like those who have personal protection & who live behind guarded gates to have such a princely attitude!!!

I grew up in Wisconsin when his dad was the mayor.

this POS is an embarrassment to his father’s name, IMO.

Showing ID to vote? Forcing citizens to jump through hoops in an unconstitutional infringement of their fundamental rights.

Filling out pages of forms and waiting almost forever to buy a firearm? No big deal and not an infringement.

The socialists want what they want, and they just string random phrases together as if that gave them a rational justification.

Daley, like his father before him, is a dumb thug, a poseur, and a lying demagogue who’ll do anything to cling to his sense of self-importance; in this, he is spiritual brother to Comrdae Kim of North Korea.

OK Mayor, let's see now... 40 hours in a normal work week, about 4 weeks in a month, gets us 160 hours. Then, you said "months and months", which would indicate at least 2 months, so that gets us to a minimum of 320 hours. So you are saying the Chicago PD gives its' officers at least 320 hours of intense instruction in how to shoot a gun? When do they find time to do any police work? They are obviously spending all their time at the range. (Tiny bit of sarcasm.)

Apparently the only way in Chicago to keep one’s skills honed is to have a firing range in the house.
