Take that, Daley!

Three cheers for today's ruling by the SCOTUS, striking down Chicago's 28-year ban on handguns.

Not that anything will change anytime soon. Daley will figure out some way to keep up his fight against ownership of handguns. But he's a loser. That's L-O-S-E-R.

And what's in the news today? The arrest of some guy who left a threatening message for Daley. The Chicago Tribune must be saving that for another day.

It's okay for Daley to threaten to stick a rifle up a reporter's butt, but don't dare let anyone suggest reversing the tables.

In today's Chicago Tribune, Daley reveals his game plan for new laws - "...to protect police officers, paramedics and emergency workers from being shot when responding to an incident at a home. He said he also wants to save taxpayers from the financial cost of lawsuits if police shoot someone in the house because the officer felt threatened."

And he added, "If the ban is overturned, we will see a lot of common-sense approaches in the city aimed at protecting first responders," Daley said. "We have to have some type of registry. If a first responder goes to an apartment, they need to know if that individual has a gun."

Wrong. DOUBLE wrong! A cop needs to know that this is the U.S.A., where law-abiding citizens have the right to own handguns. Cops have nothing to fear from law-abiding citizens, who are the ones Daley is preventing from owning handguns. The criminals already have the handguns, and the cops already know that.

The only stupid one in this whole picture is Daley. Oh, yes, and his cronies in Chicago.

So where does that leave Illinois' ban on automatic weapons?

Hip, hip, HURRAY. Citizens 1, Daley 0. And no doubt he will come up with some off the wall idea's to make it a pain in the a$$ for a law abiding citizen to have a weapon. When these politicians lose they are all alike. First thoughts in their mind are 'I'll get even', 'it's not over yet', 'retaliation', and well you get the idea.
