Yesterday the United States Supreme Court ruled that people can own guns in their homes. One article mentioned that Heller was a security guard in Washington who could carry a handgun at work in Washington, D.C. but could not have at home.
Dick Daley is all righteous and pompous and using his bully pulpit to say that Heller (the Supreme Court case) doesn't apply in Chicago. Last time I checked, Chicago was still in the United States. Maybe Hizzoner has a newer map. The only dangerous part about law-abiding citizens having handguns in Chicago is Daley!
I don't usually attack people in The Woodstock Advocate; however, Daley deserves it. He seems to think he "owns" Chicago. Look at the murder rate in Chicago, the gangs, the drugs, the slums - great job, Dick!
Daley is going to waste thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of dollars of taxpayer money (and we know how rich the coffers in Chicago are) arguing against the U.S. Constitution that he swore to uphold and now against the law of the land, as pronounced yesterday by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Maybe someone needs to sue Daley and haul him into court for violating his oath of office and for directing the improper use of City monies.
I say, "Arm all law-abiding citizens in Chicago at taxpayer expense. Teach them to shoot and to shoot straight. Teach them when to shoot." Then watch the murder rate, the drive-by shootings and other crimes against persons drop precipitously. The savings in police services, hospital services, social services would more than pay for the guns!
