"Chicago Mayor Emanuel to push for state-wide handgun registry

"Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants lawmakers to require that all handguns in Illinois be registered with the state, or gun owners could face felony charges. "A statewide gun registry is key in helping solve Chicago crimes that involve handguns from outside the city, and would also help crack down on gun trafficking, Emanuel is expected to argue Thursday. "Under Emanuel's proposal, handgun owners would have to pay $65 for a registration certificate from the state, which would function much like the title to a car. Illinois law currently requires that gun owners and shooters have a firearm owners identification card, which works like a drivers license. But the guns themselves are not registered at the state level. "Emanuel is set to lay out his plan Thursday at a center for at-risk youth on Chicago's South Side, according to administration sources. "The handgun registration certificate would include information about the owner, the make and model of the gun, as well as where and when the firearm was bought. Registratin[sic] applicants would also need a valid firearm owners identification card ..." You can read the whole story here Emanuel has got it bass-akwards. Instead, arm everyone. No registration. No FOID cards. Turn the law-abiding citizen loose to defend themselves. Obviously, Emanuel's Chicago Police Department isn't doing it.
