Daley gun control plan has new twists [Barf Alert]
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 2/20/08 | FRAN SPIELMAN

Moved by the shooting deaths of five students at Northern Illinois University, Mayor Daley today unveiled his annual package of gun control legislation, even as a state senate sponsor acknowledged that none of the bills could have prevented the tragedy.

Once again, Daley wants to ban semiautomatic assault weapons and .50-caliber military-grade rifles, use the State Police to license gun dealers and limit handgun purchases to one a month per person.

Well...I recently bot a .38 Special Rossi

And I wouldn't have been subject to Daly's new rules.

Because I bot it off a LEO friend...no papers, no registration.

What's gonna stop the CROOK, MURDERER, RAPIST, ROBBER from doing the same?

NOTHING!!!

Remember that Barack Obama is a product of the Daley political machine. You know the saying about he acorn not falling far from the tree.

The last round of new restrictions was implemented by Cook County, so everybody living within a few dozen miles of Chicago was subject to the new ban. And Daley's latest proposals he is trying to get passed for the entire state of Illinois. He'd try to eliminate the CCW and ban handguns in Indiana too if he could, but even Blago's clout doesn't extend quite that far. Chicago is the fundamental reason Illinois not only doesn't have any provision for a carry permit, but it's actually a Felony for the serfs to be caught with a concealed weapon. Meanwhile, Aldermen can carry, and Daley has a whole squad of personal bodyguards.

That was the 90mm caliber A&BP* AK-47 sabot round, with a depleted uranium tip for those REALLY tough brick walls.

The 30 round clips are really, really heavy...

why do we “suffer fools” who wish to abolish the second amendmetn via regulation?

WE should not be the onese haveing to accomodate these fools gladly.

THEY have to come to the majority view of thise issue.

We majority need to brand these buffoons like daily as simply socialists and have their anti-second opinion discredit them from the public discussion.
