Concur. The other thing is to ban firearms from the local police. No sales to police officers, since police are occasionally shot with their own weapons. That especially follows for Mayor Daley's bodyguards who are serving police officers. The dim bulb mayor may go even more nutzo and attempt to shoot in the air, missing the air he would probably hit one of his officers.

didn't some famous ChiCom antigunner pol gutshoot a home invader with an illegally owned (completely unregistered*) pistol a few (10-15) years back? I can't remember the site or magnitude of the injury, or whether it was fatal, but I seem to remember him making some kind of lame excuse like "I was aiming at his foot" or something... who was this guy??? It wasn't the current mayor, was it?
*as of 1968, all pistols in chicago must be registered with local police... many were subsequently confiscated, many others were stolen when lists of the registries were sold onto the black market.
