Mayor Richard Daley today launched his final push in office for state and federal gun-control measures and vowed to continue those efforts "as a private citizen as well."
He proposed four new state criminal laws aimed at reducing gun violence and vowed to battle bills that would bar cities and villages from enacting gun-control measures and allow citizens to carry concealed weapons.
"We are ready for this fight," Daley said, after noting his long history of anti-gun violence efforts during nearly 22 years in office.
It would be just an Illinois issue if it weren’t a transgression of the Constitution, or didn’t turn a legal gun holder into a potential felon just for missing the last Missouri exit and crossing the river into Illinois.
