It’s nice to see how Ms. Hoyle and Mayor Daley are so effin’ scared and threatened of Joe/Jane Average obtaining a measly .380 for scaring off muggers & burglars. Next, we dangerous Morlocks and Hillbillies might get hold of a Colt .45 or a shotgun and REALLY become dangerous! It still wouldn’t burn me so much if I hadn’t got to the bottom of the post & seen where the Chicago PD wants to make like the 10th Cav in patrolling the South Side. Yeah, the normal law-abiding folks can’t have handguns-or ANY guns, for that matter-to protect themselves. But, the Chicago police can bristle with firepower, body armor, and other quasi-military stuff so they can go all Waco on people the Chicago pols think are bad for the city’s image. (Maybe the Chicago police ought to ask for a few ED 209 units so they can do a more efficient job of keeping the peace?)

Yeah, right. That’s the leftards for you, “all rights for me, but none for thee, for thou art WRONG”. My friend Cotn Charles has a bumper sticker that reads “CRIMINALS PREFER UNARMED VICTIMS. POLITICIANS PREFER UNARMED PEASANTS.” I think we know where Mayor Daley and his political buddies fit in with that slogan.
