I think that I just figured something out. With Chicago's murder rate soring ahead of every large city in the US, and recent events that you probably have seen on the MSM that gun control should be able to help such a city out.
OH, you say they did that already???
Well heck, ban them again, it just must not have taken the first time! (TIC)

As a former resident of Illinois; There's only two groups that have firearms in Chicago the cops that obviously can't be everywhere and the criminal element that wouldn't think of obeying Chicagos laws. This leaves the bulk of the population which is honest and lawabiding essentially defenseless. That's one of the reasons I was relieved to see Chicago "In my rearview mirror" 14 years ago. This whole sitation of a City with a homocide rate out of control supports the premise the "When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns." I and others have recently taken some flak for our strident position that the November elections will be critical in determining whether this whole Country becomes one big Chicago. We have to fight this with every means at our disposal so please get out and vote next week. REMEMBER Barack Obama comes out of the Democrat Chicago City machine and his views are essentially the same as Mayor Richie Daley one of the most anti-gun City officials in this Country. Jim

Amen to that Italian S/S! The King of Chicago, Richard Daly, seeks to blame the Chicago murder rate on people who own guns. Not criminals, mind you, (a voting block of gangbangers, drug pushers, and lowlifes) but law abiding folks who own guns. This pigheaded hypocrite ought to be ousted from office and would be if the Sheeple ever get up enough guts to throw him out. He and all Cook County Chicago Dems. represent the very dregs occupying political positions. I think you can safely assume that Obama is cut from the same cloth. When Daly roars, Obama will bow to him. Chopperlump

FACT: Barack Obama has endorsed a complete ban on handgun ownership. FACT: Barack Obama opposes Right to Carry laws Barack Obama supports local gun bans in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and other cities. http://www.gunbanobama.com/Templates/c63...satoday1009.pdf

I was just reading yesterday in the local paper, about the crime rate in Chicago. More deaths this year than in Iraq.

Evidently defending yourself is also verboten according to Obama http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29208Speaking of self-defense, Obama is completely opposed to that as well. In the decades before the Heller decision, many parts of Chicago put handgun bans in place that necessitated making the use of a handgun for self-defense illegal. (Think about it -- how could you legally use an illegal tool to protect yourself?) Proving he meant it when he said states, cities, and municipalities should be able to regulate and restrict the Second Amendment, Obama supported these unconstitutional bans when a 2003 case in Wilmette, Ill. provided him the opportunity to stand up for the “individual right” he also claims to support. What happened in Wilmette was simple: a citizen “used a handgun to defend himself from a dangerous repeat offender.” He killed the attacker, and although the killing was ruled an act of self-defense, the innocent man faced jail time for having used a handgun to defend himself. Many Illinois lawmakers realized that such a charge was illogical and moved to change the law so as to allow the use of a handgun for self-defense. And guess what? -- Obama opposed the change in legislation (four times). Did you get that? -- OBAMA OPPOSED LAWS THAT ALLOWED USING HANDGUNS FOR SELF-DEFENSE

People still can't understand why the ATA moved the Grand American to Illinois from Vandalia, Ohio. (other than the fact that the people in the Dayton area wouldn't get off their butts and find another place)

Evidently defending yourself is also verboten according to Obama All the while Obama and his family hide behind armed security at tax payer expense. If a Secret Service agent shot and killed an attacker and saved Obama's life, or any other high level government official, they would pin a medal on his chest. If a civilian shot and killed an attacker saving his own life and that of his family in Chicago, Obama would have him sent to jail.

If Obama opposes laws that allow the carrying of handguns for self defense does that mean he will sack all his protection team if he get to be President? Lagopus.....
