See, see! The NRA gun lobby again!
Yep. They really aren’t against guns. They are just against normal people owning guns.
Look I don’t smoke dope, but I like to keep 5or6 pounds around Incase company shows up.
They should check serial numbers. Bet they’re stolen. Not my guns. They’re evidence.
“Facing the extortion charge, Burke now finds himself in very good company. Four of Illinois’ last seven governors have gotten voc-ed experience making license plates in the big house. And nearly three dozen aldermen have been convicted and sentenced to prison over the last 40+ years. In fact, “a common joke in Chicago is that so many aldermen had gone to prison that when they saw each other behind bars they’d holler, ‘Quorum call!’”
Same as it ever was.”
And yet in another thread a day or so ago, Illinois was not listed in the listing of the “Ten Worst States for Rights Suppression!”
Perhaps we should see how many are friend Feinstein is hording.
Guess WHO has a concealed carry permit..?
Gun grabbers with small arsenals and open border zealots with mansions protected by 30 foot high walls! I think there’s a word for that kind of thing.
Burke had 23 guns in his office ? Was he expecting the Zombie apocalypse ?
For a chuckle, check out this thread from November 2018.

“Ed Burke, Chicago’s longest-serving alderman and one if its most powerful, was charged with extortion “
The guy is a gut pile...just routine behavior for shitcago politicians and bureaucrats.
Would that be our friend Feinstein? And how many is Feinstein hoarding?
NONE for thee, but plenty for me!!!
That’s the socialist/lib creed.
I cannot stomach these hypocritical POSs.
Liberals make laws to punish their political enemies, not to obey them.
If they started hanging bastards like this, like they used to, I’d bet there’d be less of this kind of corruption.
Any relation to Jimmy “The Gent” Burke?
Anyhow it doesn't matter its okay for him to have guns because he is part of the ruling gentry.
The area where this alleged shakedown took place which is miles away from his original 14th ward boundaries is the result of how Burke has been able to keep in office. Edmund Burke has been a Chicago Alderman for 50 years. Burke’s brother ran for state rep and lost. His wife is a judge.
His ward ,14th, was originally known as “Back of The Yards” Once the home of the famous Chicago Stock Yards where most food processors along with employee demographics have since relocated. It was a compact area almost square composed mostly of single and 2 story frame and brick family dwellings mixed with scattered brick apartment units.
His ward now consists of areas carved from the 12th and 23rd wards miles from the original 14th boundaries.
When redistricted along with several other wards. Chicago had neighborhoods divided to create “Hispanic”residential sections going to Hispanic aldermanic and congressional (Gutierez) candidates and blacks going to black candidates.
That has had the effect of breaking up a contiguous geographic continuity and community identity. Because the wards affected which are really like small towns have had sections broken up into areas where if a problem arises in a given section of street which has one way traffic only may be two way a block down because it’s in a different ward. It has also played hell on zoning and because of the disruption of jurisdictions with the administration of city services such as streets and sanitation which the alderman (salary $120.000 plus allocations on local projects) do oversee and have input over.
Here was part of the cause and result of those ward re-mappings. . The federal government Under policies created by the dems and continued on warily by Bush, discarded the 20% down payment requirement of home loans. Directed banks guaranteed by Fanny Mae and and Freddy Mac to grant no money down home ownership loans..This led to a massive change in demographics and in many cases loan defaults that created areas of abandoned single dwelling units.
