After 20 unpossible shootings just last night in Gun Free Chicago?
Since the beginning of the year through March, 70 percent of the murder victims had prior arrest records and 97 percent of the offenders had prior arrest records, according to police. Approximately 81 percent of the murders involved (illegal) firearms, with the most common motive being something gang-related. Almost 30 percent of the murders were gang-related, the release said.
So instead of the CPS actually doing something, Daley thinks it's more effective to use tax dollars to bus school kids (w/ a 51% graduation rate) and Aldermen to Springfield to lobby for more anti-gun laws. Of course in their (partial) defense, were they to go out on the streets and start arresting gang-bangers, Jackson and Sharpton would be there in a heartbeat beating the drums or racism.

Chicago Roundup..
He must have joined the wrong gang:
4-Year-Old Shot While Sitting In Van On South Side
Police say this may not have been a random shooting and the offender may have targeted victims.
Englewood. Shock.
"Only Ones" Hirin', Firin', and Chargin':
156 DUI Cases Linked to Indicted Chicago Cop Dropped
The Cook County state’s attorney’s office has dropped more than 150 DUI cases in which indicted Chicago cop John Haleas was the arresting officer, officials said.
Sorich goes to prison Monday
Two men convicted in an an illegal City Hall patronage hiring scheme under Mayor Daley are expected to report to prison Monday morning.
And gangbangers, gangbangers, gangbangers galore in this "handgun free" city.
But remember, it has everything to do w/ rural white men driving pickup trucks full of guns to the city and handing them out and nothing to do w/ a 51% graduation rate, "stop snitchin'" advocates, the glorification of violence, and corrupt authorities.

"O"
By now regardless if you live in Pennsylvania or not, if you are a gun owner you have been “snubbed”. Going through the news I find if humorous that depending on the source you will see 180 degree difference. One saying the “Po folks in PA.” were not bothered by the remark, and other outraged, which is it?
At least Conservatives are not ashamed to be called Conservative.

5.4 earthquake this morning.
No damage. Some panicked cats and misplaced knick-knacks. The little powers all slept through it.
Update:
Right after I accepted Kaveman's comment, we got an aftershock.

Fun w/ the usual PSH
Via RobbAllen comes this little bit of Pants Messing Tripe. It includes the usual penis comments "spray firing from the hip", you don't "need" guns, etc. All from the usual type that have no clue what they're talking about and show no inclination to be educated.
I really don't feel like being nice to these idiots tonight.
Update: That was weird. All the posts just disappeared and went to a different post from last week then came back.

Guilty until proven innocent...
Drew Peterson, prime suspect in the disappearance/murder of various wives found out how the ISP treats people they don't like. When initially ordered to return his firearms if he had a valid FOID, the ISP revoked his card and convinced the judge to reverse the order because he doesn't "need" them currently.
Judge blocks Philadelphia from enforcing new gun laws
Mayor Nutter must have a long face today. Elitist like Nutter forget that there is a little thing call the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Unfortunatly that does not seem to slow them down. You can see Dirt Bag Rendell's hand prints all over this one.

Alicia Keyes is off tune
She has apparently been sniffing to many fumes of freshly pressed CD's. According to her, "Gansta Rap" and Rapper Wars are creations of the "Man" to get blacks to kill eachother and do drugs.
Wow. Just Wow.

Another day off for students...
As they make a game of closing the schools down for some free time.
All of the schools in Dolton School District 149 are closed today, reportedly after a threat was written on a wall at a school in Calumet City.

I support gun owners but...
There's always a "but". Just one more "reasonable law" that will "reduce crime" and "for the children".
To a point, I really do sympathize with gun-rights advocates...
but..
Past a certain point, though, my sympathy evaporates.
enter his true feelings:
That point is where gun-rights advocates respond to proposals to try to limit the number of freely circulating firearms with aggrieved paranoia, a hyper-literal interpretation of the Constitution and a fusillade of clichés evincing an air of indifference to how often guns are used to ventilate the innocent.
By defeating :
Basic idea: Require background checks for private sales of handguns
The "basic idea" requiring all handgun sales to go through FFL dealers who Daley et al are trying to sue and legislate out of existence.
I will nevertheless continue to extend my sympathies to gun-rights activists. All I'll ask in return is something more helpful than their old slogans and reflexive stubbornness.
Then obviously you're not doing much research into the matter beyond what your other Trib buddies and the Brady Bunch are telling you.

Hillary & Obama on Guns
From the debate:
Hillary: I support Federal laws to ban "Assault Weapons" and allow fishing expeditions on trace data but I don't think there should be any sweeping federal laws and locals should determine their own laws. But I don't know enough about DC where I've lived for years to answer.
Obama: We need to allow fishing expeditions on trace data and even though I've said it was constitutional before, I'm going to play the stupid game too and deny I ever said I'ld ban handguns even though my handwriting was on the report but I'll claim it's a different one.
Overall I give the debate to Obama. He got in to many good jabs against her and countered most of hers against him. Her primary defense was "I'm older and more experienced". I doubt that will garner her any points to the PA citizens. She basically told that one guy about the sniper episode "I lied, get over it".
My opinion? She's shot her chance at taking PA decisively but will stay in the race till near the end. Unless something upsets the apple cart in the next month, Obama will take the DNC convention.

Daley wants guns to be Double-Plus Illegal
Mayor Richard Daley announced Wednesday he would introduce an ordinance to guarantee jail time for anyone convicted of carrying an unregistered weapon within 1,000 feet of a school, park, courthouse or public housing development.
In Chicago. Where 'unregistered gun possession" is already afelony crime. Dumb*ss.

Bill Forces States To Accept Concealed Gun Permits
Would it not be wonderful to not worry when you cross from a free state in to a little peoples republic, not to have to worry about some useless ineffective law about the defense weapon you are carrying? Get on the phones folks, their is a slim chance we could see this dream come to pass.
Running Commentary on IL Private Handgun Sale Bill
HB 758, which is currently being debated, is being commented on live via Illinois Carry. It has just gone into unlimited debate so it could potentially go on for some time.
The main issue is that it's illegal to sell, buy, or possess a firearm in Illinois w/o a FOID card. A background check is required to get a FOID and the ISP are supposed to take said card if you become ineligible through crime, mental instability, etc. Mandating sales through FFL dealers only makes sales more difficult as Daley, as a MAIG member, the Brady Bunch, Joyce Foundation, et al are committed to suing as many FFL dealers as they can out of business.
So by passing this, the legislation is stating they have no confidence in the ISP to perform their job. And of course the debate is conveniently on the same day as the VT anniversary and when numerous Chicago Aldermen are lobbying the legislature. Nope, no chicanery there.
Update: FAILED. 58 to 58.
Every call and letter counts.

IL Gov calls for Psych exams for Firearm Owners
During Tuesday's news conference, Gov. Rod Blagojevich called for even tighter gun laws and suggested perhaps a counselor should have input on whether a person could obtain or continue to carry a gun card. But he did not elaborate or outline a specific proposal.
As he continues to blame millions of firearm owners for the actions of a few deranged individuals. Of course those "few" also include CPS officers and gang bangers.
Perhaps he should call for exams of all Chicago residents.
While at the same time, the Brady Bunch are trying to revitalize themselves by bathing in the blood of the VT victims by using the families and survivors to push for bills that had nothing to do w/ how Cho got his guns. Besides the fact that they continue to lie and try and take credit for passing the NICS improvement act:
This past year, we worked with Virginia Tech victims and their families, as well as our Congressional allies, to strengthen the Brady background check system
These people are getting even more pathetic by the day.

Tightening the noose
W/ two more counties passing pro-2A resolutions, the total is now up to 76. WOG notes that the first of the "Collar Counties"(those bordering Chicago) McHenry passed it unanimous. Population-wise, that's about 50% of the state.
So much for the "vast majorities of overwhelming support for gun control" the PuSH'ers keep claiming .

Quote of the Day..
“If the state’s gun owners support gun control as strongly as claimed by the LCAV, then why aren’t gun owners marching on Springfield to demand passage of gun control laws?” asked Pearson. “If 75-plus percent of gun owners want so-called ‘assault weapons’ banned, then why are they buying them up like hotcakes? If Illinois gun owners are as ‘anti-gun’ as the LCAV polling data suggests, then why do they even own guns in the first place? It just doesn’t make sense. But, then again, the ‘facts’ presented by the gun control movement rarely make much sense.”
