Chicago…… Well it looks as if Mayor Richard Daley is at it again. In light of the new Supreme Court decision that the second amendment is a individual freedom for all didn’t set good with the Mayor. He promised not to “Roll over” and came up with some new measures…… among them are NO gun shops within city Limits, outlawing residents with a handgun from stepping outside their homes onto their porches or in the garage. Now that law really makes sense…. must of taken them most of the night to come up with such B.S. It also limits the number of handguns one can purchase per month and the list goes on and on. What they are trying to do is make it so costly and hard to own a rifle or handgun that the average person doesn’t want to go through the hassle.
I also have learned that a lawsuit was filed by citizens and the Illinois Assn. of Firearms Retailers claiming that the new restrictions put on by the Chicago Council violate there constitutional right. In my opinion a individual right is no right at all if you cannot use it or restrict it and that is exactly what the Chicago Council is trying to do to us. The Mayor should explain to us that they already have the strictest laws on the books and most crime per capita.
New York…. Don’t think that your gun rights are the only thing that is in jeopardy…. Looks like Knife rights are struggling too. It seems that the New York district attorney has a problem with so called “gravity knives”. They are the knives that can be operated with one hand and or are assisted in opening. This would include about 80% of all knives made. What’s next ??? Your fishing pole ?
New York….. Firearms micro stamping seems to have lost its appeal. Not only is it flawed in many ways but studies have proven that it does not help police a lot and is very costly. The bill has had no action for quite some time.
