"He said the violence last weekend, 54 people shot, 10 of those people dead, shows the need for the city's handgun ban to remain in place."

Uh, because it's working so well, right?

[mountn man]

can’t argue with that logic.

I'm going to guess that the shooters last weekend were probably already criminals who couldn't legally own guns. I'm also going to guess they normally carry concealed without a permit too. If the handgun ban is overturned, it will only allow law abiding citizens to own handguns legally.

I'm also going to guess Daley will implement onerous restrictions to replace the former ban.

It’s probably time for the City of Chicago to arm law abiding citizens so they can put an end to the outlaw gangs shooting down people.

The Bridgeport home that his family resided in for years was always guarded by an unmarked police car. I can only assume that the Daley family made sure they were unarmed... because if they were armed, it would only increase the chance that their family would have been violated. Right?

And now his flotilla of body guards, the Chicago Police are probably unarmed too, just like anti-gunner Rosie O’Donnell.

I know some folks around where I live love the Daley family with the same admiration some folks have for the Kennedy’s but his family represents the worst in corruption. Rumors are he won’t run again, with his wife and all, but I’ll have to see it to believe it, he’ll die in that chair before give it up.
