Daley%20trying%20again%20with%20gun%20bills%20in%20Springfield


When you really think about it, these people lost loved ones because of his stupid ban on guns in the city. I'm not saying that if those people, kids included, were armed, this would not have happened. But this Mayor doesn't have a clue about what his unconstitutional ban has done to this city.

Since his ban, the criminals are the ones obtaining guns, not the law-abiding citizens. Now he's running around in Springfield trying to get legislation that should have been enacted 30 years ago. Any person with the enabled skill of common-sense would know that strengthening prison sentences for "Known Gang Members" using guns is the right approach among many alternatives. Common-sense dictates that "Responsible" gun owners have no problem with having background checks in-place. No person wants an individual with a history of mental instability getting their hands on guns. The same goes for criminals. Proof this Mayor has no clue, check out this quote:

“I know that many people may not appreciate these proposals, especially the gang bangers and the drug dealers and the thugs who basically terrorize our communities,” Daley said. “Taken together, I believe these initiatives will reduce gun violence, not only in Chicago, in the metropolitan area in Illinois, but in the country."

Why on this earth would a gang banger, or drug dealer "Appreciate" anything?
