Like ‘glenn’ said, “Everybody gets the government they deserve.”
The ‘foi gras’ thing is the epitome of what glenn is talking about. And the business about Daley thinking he can ‘win’ this business is just another example of stupidity in governance. All he is doing here, as I commented (above) is providing another means to get assault weapons into the hands of those who least deserve them…..over the dead bodies of law-enforcement officers.
Reminds me of a time in my enlisted days when I went on guard duty with a military shotgun, to guard a serviceman’s club that was just a stone-throw from the military installation border.
The weapon I carried was more valuable than the contents of the safe in the club. Not to mention the veterinarian shop next door. If the dogs in the outdoor kennel went ‘ballistic’, the first thing I did was lock and load.
Daley is an idiot if he wants to arm the police on patrol with military assault weapons.
Did you ever read some book titled The Arms of Krupp? It was all about ‘escalation’ in the arms race amongst nations. Similar to that being claimed in Chicago. But at $1000 a pop for an assault weapon, a good one that is, I doubt if most gang members can afford that sort of piece….
….unless they pry it from the hands of a cop.
RE: The Real Question Here….
….should be what are the gun-control laws of Chicago?
Is it like ‘Great’ Britian? Or Washington DC? Where only the criminals are allowed guns with which to act?
