Chicago has a total ban on civilian firearm ownership.\u00a0 Their ban is more draconian than New York’s Sullivan Act.\u00a0 It’s even more draconian and, it could be reasonably inferred, less constitutional than the DC ban that the SCOTUS gassed in the Heller <\/em>decision yesterday.<\/p>\n

It’s also being shot to hell<\/a> by armed gang-bangers who, I guess, haven’t gotten the word about the total gun ban.<\/p>\n

Mayor Daley – who travels about the city with a full-time police escort, mind you – comments on the overall issue<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“It is frightening that America loves guns,” the mayor said, “and to me, I think this decision really places those who are rich and those are in power, they’ll always feel safe. Those who do not have the power do not feel safe, and that’s what they’re saying. If you’re elected officials, you feel safe. You cannot carry a gun into a federal building. You cannot carry a gun into a federal court. So they’re setting themselves aside, and really, they’re saying to the rest of America that the answer to all the constitutional issues is that we can carry guns. And I just don’t understand how they came to this thinking.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Er, yeah, Mayor Daley.\u00a0 I bet you – who grew up surrounded by the Chicago Police Department, and have probably spent scarcely ten years of your life without an armed bodyguard or ten – probably don’t understand it.\u00a0 Probably because\u00a0none of <\/em>the\u00a0people with the money and power – the ones that “feel safe”, people\u00a0like\u00a0Mayor\u00a0Daley<\/em>\u00a0– aren’t the law-abiding citizens who want, demand, and need guns.<\/p>\n

It’s the ones that don’t <\/em>feel safe.\u00a0 The ones that do <\/em>worry about scumbags breaking into their houses at night, following them home from work, accosting them in crappy neighborhoods that elites like Mayor Daley don’t go into without police protection.<\/p>\n

Forget about elections; Daley coudln’t win an argument<\/em> that wasn’t fixed or bought-off.<\/p>\n
