Daley “ SHOOTS” his mouth off enough. He doesn’t need a weapon .

[Psycho_Bunny]

Turn 6, already. Seriously.

Hey, Daley the Constitution is the law of land. You will either live by it or die by it as an enemy of it.

"What I say or do in Chicago goes - I don't need no Supreme Court telling me how to run things"

Jim Crow dies hard.

The D.C. Council subsequently replaced its overturned law with new regulations that require gun owners to receive five hours of safety training, register their firearms every three years and face criminal background checks every six years.

And yet the homicide rate has dropped by about 25% since DC's gun laws were over turned.

I thought there was going to be blood in the streets!?! /sarc

[Dark Knight]

So Daley hasn’t had armed security for decades?

This ain’t 1968 and this punk isn’t his old man.

Why didn’t a reporter ask Daily, if his current gun law is so good, why does the city have the highest murder rate in the country?

He can’t go to ANY court and wear his gun. And you can bet that A HOLE either has one of is surrounded by body guards that are all armed. I bet you can’t even get to his office carrying.

[Bigun]

The Chicago mob doesn’t seem to like the idea of just plain folks being able to shoot back!

“If a gun is so important to us on the street or someone’s home, why can’t I go to the Supreme Court and sit there with a gun?”

You don’t have to...you hire six thugs to do it...you bastard.

[allmendream]

I was going to ask, but you already supplied the answer.

Yes, “scary” that they allowed private citizens to defend themselves in D.C.; and the result was a predictable drop in the homicide rate by about 25%.

[DeFault User]

The Chicago murder rate is 2.7 x the national average. How’s that for gun control, mayor?

The only reason these fascists are crowing like this because they that their tyranny is going to be crushed by the armed citizen whom they will not be able to argue with. They are outnumbered and outgunned.

[Huck]

We assassinated President John F. Kennedy. We assassinated Martin Luther King. And we assassinated Robert F. Kennedy

No "we" didn't.

[CholeraJoe]

Maybe Daley is going to take a page from Andrew Jackson’s playbook. When told the Supreme Court had overturned one of his policies he asked, “How many soldiers does Chief Justice Marshall have?”

[djf]

I’ve read a few articles saying the court was “signaling”...
but short on specifics.

The best way to sum it up I guess is to say that cities, etc have the OPTION to regulate.
But under no circumstances can the word “regulate” translate in to “ban”.
