Chicago Lawsuit: Gun Control A ‘Civil Right
breitbart.com ^ | 7/12/2015 | AWR Hawkins

On July 7, Father Michael Pfleger, the Coalition for Safe Communities in Chicago, and other gun control plaintiffs filed a lawsuit suggesting gun control is a “civil right” that is violated by a lack of gun laws and regulations in the Chicago-area villages of Riverdale, Lyons and Lincolnwood.

The suit claims that “20 percent of guns” found at Chicago crime scenes between 2009 and 2013 were guns legally purchased from gun shops in these villages. Therefore, the suit posits a need for more regulatory oversight of gun stores in Riverdale, Lyons, and Lincolnwood.

Remind me again which amendment that is. From the pic at the article, looks like mike 'wuss' pfleger has been added as a token white boy to the "just-us" brothers tag team. "The crocs will eat me last."

Oh, please! Would someone tell this moron gun control means you use both hands when firing a weapon? Thank you.

Pfleger, the white guilt smells strong in this one.

He’s probably so ashamed and full of guilt that he lets the other two “just-us” bros have their way with him.

A civil right to have a bunch of power- mad, crazy political hacks try to deprive you of your right of self- defense. And to do so in direct violation of our constitutional civil right to keep and bear arms. Guess the lunatic asylum was full when they tried to check this nut job in?

No room at the nut hatch. And he’s been nutty for a long time. I think he’s buds with the lyin’ king’s old preacher. The one the lyin king never heard say a disparaging word in all the years he went to church. No mention of BLT. (Black Liberation Theology)

I wish this asshole would hang out on the South Side on week-ends and maybe become part of the over/under stats in the biathlon event of the ghetto games.

self defense is a civil rights. gun control is in direct opposition of civil rights - it is therefore, by definition oppression.

“Remind me again which amendment that is.”

Illinois Civil Rights Act of 2003. Seems like you have to “think” in a twisted way to get there though.

Welcome to the Orwellian world of the Left, where denial of a Constitutional Right is a “Civil Right.” In fact, the entire agenda of the Left — affirmative action for pretty much every minority group, pretty much every social spending and entitlement program — is an inviolable “Civil Right” that can’t be overturned by courts or voters.

“affirmative action for pretty much every minority group”. Looks like “folks like us” pretty much applies to white people in Cali now since they are no longer a majority. Where do I go to sign up for mofree stuff?

May the blood of all those unable to defend themselves in the Chicagoland area be on the head of Father Michael Pfleger who wants only the criminals to have guns!

Someone please tell me if I was surreptitiously whisked off to Bizarro world where Up is Down and the negation of certain civil rights is now in itself a ‘civil right’?

Where do those people get these ideas from?

Did I miss the part of the bill of rights that says you have the right to be free from other people having rights?
(Or something like that.. you’ve have to excuse me, I have difficulty thinking like a prognazi)

Ahhh...a concerted ‘relocation’ project? Say, from here to parts overseas? How about in the middle of downtown Tehran? Beijing? Anywhere in North Korea? Anywhere but here sounds good to me.
