Mayor Rahm Emanuel is proposing a far-reaching ordinance that would keep gun stores out of most parts of the city and require them to videotape every sale to deter customers from buying firearms for crooks.
The ordinance is a response to a federal judges ruling in January that Chicagos longtime ban on gun stores was unconstitutional.
Emanuel chose not to fight the decision, and the court gave the city six months to approve store restrictions short of a ban. The deadline is July 14.
Under the proposed ordinance, special-use zoning would keep gun stores out of 99.5 percent of Chicago, limiting them to pockets of the North, West and South sides, city officials said. The stores could not be within 500 feet of a school or park.
Store owners would have to conduct quarterly audits of their gun sales and allow police to inspect their records. They also would have to get the police to approve a security plan before they could open their doors.

Remove all drug related killings from the Chicago stats,what would the murder rate be then?Then remove the black on black rage killings,where would the murder rate be after that?
That would be a "federal felony" ('cause EVERYTHING is, dontchaknow), and yes, Rahm & "Dick" Holder would spend as much taxpeasant money as was necessary to put the "dangerous videotapers" away for a couple of hundred-year prison terms...
Can we wear Obama masks while filling out BATF forms in the store?
Have I missed something. Has there been an increase in people buying guns for crooks? Is that something like “Cash for Clunkers”?
Yeah...cuz crooks always pay retail + a mark-up for the straw purchaser. I’d wager yer average gangbanger pays 20 cents on the dollar to get a stolen gun, or just steals it his own bad self.
You can buy a gun “legitimately/legally” in Chicago???
My question is, even with this revelation...
Why would you want to now???
I agree...
