Daley pushing for more liquor at Chicago airports :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Transportation


You have to hand it too this Mayor. One million in Tax Increment Funds (TIF) go missing in action, his unconstitutional hand gun ban gets overturned after 30 years, a 10 year old gets shot by a gang-banger riding a bike, and now he wants people drunk at the airports.

Have you noticed not one plan for jobs in the city? We get nothing but gimmicks from this Mayor. Oh, I forgot, and a big shiny bean. One alderman fought for his ward, and finally got a Wal Mart. Those are jobs people (bean counters) can count, feel, and see.

So what we have here, is a Mayor that can't ram through his city council, a jobs plan, but more gimmicks, and distractions for the city. A lowly punk riding a bike on a city street, carrying a concealed hand gun, can fire away in a crowd of innocent children where one gets struck in the leg, and all you can come up with Mayor, is more booze sales. What happened to all those cameras with the "Gun shot detectors"? Why are there not enough cameras at these "Hot Spots"? Will your plan of selling more booze garner enough funds to buy more cameras?

Enough already Mr. Mayor. Do what you do best and gangster your city council into pushing a jobs plan. Enough of the booze peddling. We've been drunk enough, and now we are sober. Get that missing money back, send the responsible party to prison, and don't get all crazy on the newly overturned gun ruling.

Now comes the tricky part for the Mayor and the cities law department. They both knew, and were fully aware the ban was unconstitutional. What really surprised them, was how long they were able to get away with it.

They should be aware when beginning modification, of this unconstitutional ban, there are certain phrases within the Constitution. Phrases like; unreasonable, and excessive are perfect examples. When they decide to hold discussions, these two phrases should come too mind. Now, one thing that must be addressed, is this "making people that purchase a handgun be subjected to some form of training". That's all fine and good for those that truly are in need of such training, but, and this is only my opinion, military personnel, active and those with veteran status, should be exempt from such training.

All the other ideas they are floating out to the press, and media is fine. There should be "criminal, and mental" background checks. There should be "ballistic testing". And most importantly, there must be a registration process. Holding training classes will be a bit of a stretch for this city, since our Mayor continues to cry broke. It doesn't make much sense for city residents to flock towards the suburbs to pay for training classes. That's money this city could use. No offense suburbanites.

So now that the Mayor and his top law official are getting together and attempting to figure out a "Reasonable", Not "Excessive" gun legislation, please consider giving those that currently serve, and those that have served, a little consideration, and exempt them from any "Training Classes". After-all, we get the best training in the industrialized world, and it's akin to learning how to ride a bike. We never forget.

This article should be a wake up call for all those ill-informed mouth breathers screaming for less government.

When your own city and state turns a blind eye to crimes against its own citizens, it's always the federal government that has to clean up the mess. Read this article, and stay informed.

Please read this article. Something really, really stinks here.

Had this happen to a "Normal Citizen", there would be no drivers license for that 12 month period. Something really, really stinks here, and it must end.

Damn! I couldn't have said it any better then Alderman Burke. Mayor Daley is poised to do his famous money grab once this unconstitutional ban is struck down. And trust me, it will get struck down.

I've stated before, any law abiding citizen does not have a problem with registering their gun purchase. They do not have a problem with having ballistic test either. But the do have a problem with a Mayor that doesn't, I repeat, doesn't have a facility within city limits that could provide for weapons training. All of that money will go straight to the suburbs, not the city. Economics 101 King Daley. If you make citizens go and pay for training, your crying broke will continue. Just stop trying to find new ways for fleecing decent law abiding citizens with such a crazy idea of weapons training, when the city will not profit from it.

Stick with registering guns, and ballistic test. That way our law enforcement will have the knowledge of tracking down stolen guns. Do yourself a favor, and listen, or read the alderman's quote. In the event you missed it, here it is again. It's so true.

“Just in the last 60 days, we’ve seen three instances where law-abiding citizens who had possession of a weapon in their home shot and/or killed violent offenders in their home or in the vicinity of their home. It’s noteworthy that no one has prosecuted those law-abiding citizens. Probably, we oughta pass a city ordinance and give ‘em each a medal.”

In that sense, Burke argued that a city registration put in place after the ban is overturned might be an improvement.

“Nobody can register it, so the city doesn’t know. Is it not better that the city knows who has a gun?” the alderman said.
