Ho-hum
The annual gun control push in Illinois is even boring the Sun Times: Daley unveils annual gun control legislation (note: they’ve since changed the title but here’s the original headline). It’s the same wishlist Daley tosses out every year with the same failed policies in place elsewhere. Of course no mention in the article that Illinois ranks ninth out of 50 in the Brady Campaign’s gun control rankings. But good to see the press note that:
After joining the mayor for his annual gun control news conference at police headquarters, State Sen. John Cullerton (D-Chicago) acknowledged that none of the bills would have prevented Steve Kazmierczak from opening fire on Valentine’s Day afternoon in a crowded NIU lecture hall.
Yeah, we know.

From the article:
“…a state senate sponsor acknowledged that none of the bills could have prevented the tragedy.”
“…State Sen. John Cullerton (D-Chicago) acknowledged that none of the bills would have prevented Steve Kazmierczak from opening fire …”
It doesn’t work. It won’t work. So let’s do it some more, only harder.
