Quick, get them all in
Richard Daley, in light of the Supreme Court’s pending McDonald decision, has decided that he should push the state to pass a lot more gun control while the getting is good:
“The aggressiveness of the gun advocates is just one reason it’s more important than ever that we work for common-sense gun laws focused on stopping the flow of illegal guns into our communities and keeping the guns out of the hands of the criminals,” Daley said, standing next to tables loaded with weapons confiscated by Chicago police.
Common sense measures like Chicago’s total prohibition, no doubt. Meanwhile, I think I see the problem:
A Chicago man who has racked more than 100 arrests went at it again when he allegedly went on a fist-flying spree over the weekend, police said.
You see, passing gun laws that do no nothing costs nothing. Effective crime control, like putting and keeping violent people in jail, costs money and resources. Gun control: what you do instead of something.
