Mayor Daley on Friday cracked the door open to abandoning the costly fight to uphold Chicago's 1982 handgun freeze -- if he can fashion a replacement ordinance that protects the safety of first-responders.

I knew it! The Second Amendment was always to be subject to protecting police.

Do I need a sarcasm tag?

I think the Illinois state constitution is the only one in the Union that states the right to bear arms is subject only to law enforcement.

Personally, I was thinking:

“Remember, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.”

The fact is that Mayor Daly, who rides in an armored limousine and has a 24/7 personal bodyguard, feels, along with the other gun grabbers, that citizens dead at the hands of criminals is preferable to them being able to defend themselves when and where needed.

Criminals are classic predators. They all have a cost-benefit calculus running and that formula tells them to prey on the weak because it is less dangerous than preying on the strong.
