New Chicago Handgun Law was approved

[misle]

Link to Story

The law, weaker than the gun ban tossed out Monday but with some even stronger new provisions, allows adults in Chicago to buy one gun a month, 12 a year, but they must pay registration and permit fees and take five hours of training.

Within 100 days, anyone who wants to keep a gun in the city will have to register, get their training and pay the fees. Also within 100 days, any of the estimated 10,000 Chicagoans convicted of a gun offense will have to register at their local police station like sex offenders.

The aldermen did not hold back their contempt for the five members of the U.S. Supreme Court who threw out the city’s gun ban Monday.

“No Supreme Court judge could live in my community and come to the same conclusion they did a couple days ago,” Ald. Sharon Denise Dixon (24th) said.

“I find it hard to believe that the Supreme Court justices that voted to strike our handgun laws have spent any time in the communities that many of us represent,” Ald. Toni Preckwinkle (4th) said.

“There’s no way if they knew the violence our young people face every day that they could decide this was a reasonable course of action.”

Ald. Mary Ann Smith (48th) said that law was written for militias and, “they guaranteed the right to carry around muskets not Uzis.”

It's nice to see that the aldermen of Chicago have no idea how the Constitution and Bill of Rights works.

I would expect this law to also be challenged in court. It's still pretty strict. I didn't see it in this article, but I read that no gun stores will be allowed in Chicago and you cannot stand on your porch or in your garage with your handgun. It must be inside your house. So much for "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms."

The solution is, and always has been, more guns and more gun education.

Taking guns out of the hands of lawful citizens only makes the criminals more effective and more powerful. Criminals aren't going to give up (or register) their guns just because you pass a law that says they should... I mean, seriously... THEY'RE CRIMINALS!

As Chicago has gone on a binge to purge the city of lawfully owned guns - violence has been steadily increasing in the form of shootings involving illegally owned guns. This vote does absolutely nothing to stop illegally owned guns.

To be fair, it's not like Chicago politicians have a distinguished history of being law-abiding.

That makes me sick to my stomach. These alderman are fucking retarded. Does she even know a full-auto Uzi requires a class III FFL? I bet not, because she is a fucking moron of the 3rd degree. I'd bet all the money I have that dumb wise and beautiful woman couldn't pick an Uzi out of a lineup of firearms.



BTW, the vote to enact these harsh provisions passed 45-0. Chicago doesnt have one single motherfucking alderman that supports the 2nd amendment. Not a fucking one. How sad is that. Boss Daley has done a great job at stacking the deck. 45-0....Christ almighty...

IMHO this law doesn't go far enough. People who own guns should be treated like criminals.

So should people that practice freedom of religion and free speech, right?

I agree.

Hell they just had a weekend where 52 people were shot and 10 died across the city.

Not really. It would need some wit or substance first. Hollow parroting of what they were told to think isn't really exciting or new.

 

[JSt0rm]

I think in these dirty gun infested south side gangsta lands a armed populace is gonna turn into a warzone. I'm not exactly opposed to that but it will happen. Do u think z-boy on the block even knows about the ruling? Nope. He's gonna gun down the Korean store owner or grandpa. They won't even get there guns out and z-boy will BW there with 2 9mm turned sideways. Powpowpowpow

It doesn't make you sick to your stomach. It just makes you aware of how sick to your stomach you always are. Of course, your use of the C word to describe a woman is also evidence of the sickness you have. Tasteless boorish coarseness reveals your low class.

Can't refute the message...attack messager... yadda yadda yadda

Mayor Daley is talking now like he will plan to continue fighting handguns in Chicago, this time by obsessively taxing gun-owners into surrendering...

Hey dimbo, I was commenting on the illness of just such a person. He had no argument other than to attack and proclaim something made him sick. He had no message.

 

[JEDIYoda]

That makes me sick to my stomach.

talk about a total loser.

How does that make you sick?? rofl..hahahaaaa

 

[deadlyapp]

Chicago needs to be nuked.

Honestly I'm surprised someone hasn't assassinated daly yet.

 

[nick1985]

I think in these dirty gun infested south side gangsta lands a armed populace is gonna turn into a warzone.

Then how come in the other 48 states where people can carry handguns, not just own them like in Chicago, these "warzones" that you talk about never ever ever happen. Instead, crime goes down? Care to explain that?

 

[nick1985]

Talk about an asshole.

It makes me sick because people so freely trample the rights granted to the people in the Bill of Rights. They could care less

Typical batshit moonbeam. I'm surprised he didnt bust out his retarded self-hate theory.

Really? But wouldn't you support something like, oh, say, waterboarding of terrorists to extract vital information they might have about where bombs might be planted or where some terrorist attack is planned regardless of whether the terrorists are American citizens?

You manifest in every way as a shallow unthinking American who reacts only by fear. When you fear terrorism, doesn't the Bill of Rights go right out the window because you can't picture yourself as one who will be tortured, but when folk in inner cities want to regulate guns because their families are being murdered by them, don't you cry foul like the little hypocrite that you are?

In all and everything that you see and do, the Bill of Rights isn't the bill on paper but the bill that exists in your disordered head. The Bill of Rights for you is the so called patriotic cloak you hide your sickness in. You trample that bill as readily as any that you claim make you sick because you are your own vomit.
