Why does Chicago hate their law abiding citizens?
|
With the city's gun ban certain to be overturned, Mayor Richard Daley on Thursday introduced what city officials say is the strictest handgun ordinance in the United States.
The measure, which draws from ordinances around the country, would ban gun shops in Chicago and prohibit gun owners from stepping outside their homes, even onto their porches or garages, with a handgun.
Daley announced his ordinance at a park on the city's South Side three days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Americans have a right to own a gun for self-defense anywhere they live. The City Council is expected to vote on it Friday.
"As long as I'm mayor, we will never give up or give in to gun violence that continues to threaten every part of our nation, including Chicago," said Daley, who was flanked by activists, city officials and the parents of a teenager whose son was shot and killed on a city bus while shielding a friend.
The ordinance, which Daley urged the City Council to pass, also would :
• Limit the number of handguns residents can register to one per month and prohibit residents from having more than one handgun in operating order at any given time.

Don't know about that. I do know that if Mayor Daly thinks that any of his gun laws is gonna keep the non-law abiding citizens in line, then he is an idiot. I seriously doubt that the problem Chicago has with shootings and irresponsible gun use is with the law-abiding citizens. |

"As long as I'm mayor, we will never give up or give in to gun violence that continues to threaten every part of our nation ..." - Look how well those restrictive gun laws worked in Washington, D.C.! |

I wonder if the killer of that teenager would be at all affected by stricter handgun laws, something tells me they wouldn't. |

I don't think this implies that the Chicago government "hates" their citizens. I think the Mayor [and the City Council] is establishing rules for safety that don't limit the personal freedom of anyone in this situation. Too often people utilize their guns in inappropriate ways, using gun violence [whether it be to protect your home/environment or something else] as the first response to a situation instead of alleviating it some other [less fatal] manner. Gun accidents [not just crimes] are extremely common--so much so that it's vastly safer to limit the possibility than allow people to continue on, carrying handguns in places like Walmart [where there are children and the like]. I think it's a perfectly fair compromise. |
