Summery in post #16.
King Richie II has outdone himself this time. Big revenue magnet for the city.
Yup. And get this: Chicago Aldermen have concealed carry!
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured -
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
In Illinois you must be 21 or older in order to own a handgun anyway!
Expect the MSM to show the same outrage to Daley defying the Supreme Court as they have shown to state AG's filing suit to block Obamacare.
Not.
“fasCistcago”
There simply is NO hope for people who keep electing people like Daley. The few conservatives there ought to pack it up and get outta town!
The City of Chicago has 45 councilmembers?
HEY!! Youse bedda watch ya mout. Doan tawk dat way or im gonna trow ya a beatin youse ain't gonna fahget.
Ya got dat? FUHGEDDABOUDIT!!
Yeah, and each one owns at least 10 toll booths!
I can't believe that they found 45 people in the same room, with no spine to be found anywhere. What are the odds?
How ridiculous. The City of Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the country and we have 8 and one of the 8 is the vice mayor.
Be better with .45 new members added.
Do you need an ID card to buy a book or newspaper, or to attend church? I'm also assuming that this ID card isn't free, which raises another issue.
Chicago Permit (cost $100 every 3 years)
Just adding even more burdens to the exercise of a right.
Register ALL guns at $15 each every 3 years
Let's see...does one have to pay a fee for each book, magazine or paper one owns? Every three years? Does one even need to register these things, even if free?
No Firearms sales in city
That may be a simple zoning issue in any particular place, but to discriminate by law against a business that sells papers or books throughout an entire large city? It is simply unimaginable that the courts would allow such a thing.
Limited to one handgun per month
Back to the books and magazines thing. Oh, and let's add attendence in church and participation in peaceful protests against the government.
90 day grace period to register existing guns
Would a 90-day grace period to register books be upheld?
Training must include 4 hours classroom & 1 hour range time.
Would classroom and practical training be OK as a prerequisite for buying a book? Oh, and who makes the rules about what's in the instruction and test, and what constitutes a passing grade? Nothing like arbitrary and capricious standards to piss off judges.
NO RANGES ALLOWED IN CITY required range time must be in suburbs That's rich - could you imagine requiring transportation to outside of their own jurisdiction (at who's expense, as if I didn't know) in order to take a required reading course and test, in order to be able to buy a book?
Transport broken down, inaccessible, unloaded, in a locked case
Stupid, but they'll get away with this one unless the Court ultimately finds (as they should) that one has a right to protect one's self with the most effective weapon available while traveling.
Firearm only allowed inside dwelling. Not allowed in garage, front porch, yard, etc.
Bible only allowed inside dwelling. Not allowed in garage, front porch, yard, etc.
Only one gun allowed to be in firing condition all others to be broken down or trigger locks.
You can only read one book at a time, none of this whoring around and reading 3 or 4 at the same time on a piecemeal basis.
Guns not allowed in hotels, dorms and group living facilities.
Back to the issue of where your right to self defense ends.
In homes with minors, all guns must be secured when they are not in the possession of the owner.
Define "secured." How expensive is THAT going to be? Will they have semi-annual, warrantless searches so that you can prove to them that you're not committing a "crime?"
Assault weapons are banned, as are sawed-off shotguns and "unsafe" handguns, as defined by the Chicago Police (whatever that means...)
Ah, yes, the definition problem again, as well as the arbitrary and capricious problem.
Seems to me that Larry Gura is going to be a busy man for the next several years, starting with obtaining a temporary injunction on the enforcement of this POS law.
I would just like to know if tars and feathers, or good hemp rope, exists anywhere in the shitty of Shitcago. Gotta be over 21 or Parents must sign application
"Shitcago"
Wow.
Actually there are 50 members. 5 must have been gone for the long w/e.
This kind of defiance of a court ruling should lead to
JAIL TIME.
