So Jason, can I sue the ACLU for enforcing the 1st amendment? The right of the city to enact gun laws? Where is that right?

You do not have an inalienable right to deny others of rights you don’t agree with, you ding dong.

Many big city gun bans were designed to protect criminals and mobsters, who requested this protection from their paid politicians. The Sullivan Law in New York City is one example. Second generation Irish would not knuckle under to protection rackets like their immigrant parents, and armed themselves to repel these thugs. “Big Tommy” Sullivan passed the gun bans because too many mob enforcers were being shot. Oh, but it was for the “protection” of “citizens”. Yeah, if you consider mobsters to be citizens.

Myself, I use the Second Amendment as a litmus test for politicians. If they are going to strip Second Amendment rights from law abiding citizens, then they’re not going to respect other rights. Some say it’s wrong to be a one issue voter, but I find there is a lot you can tell about a politician just on their stance on firearm ownership by law-abiding citizens.

Has Morton Grove really folded? The newspaper article is worded in a confusing way:

Morton Grove Mayor Richard Krier said the village would comply with the law.

“We are a small suburban town,” he said of the north suburb, which banned the possession or sale of handguns 27 years ago. “We’ve never had any real handgun violence before then or since then.”

So they will “comply with the law”. Which law? Their handgun ban law or the supreme law of the land.

So those fascists in Morton Grove are going to comply, eh? About time; actually, long past time. You know, it seems like everything I read about Illinois makes it sound like it’s the most screwed-up, corrupt, dishonest state in the country. It sounds like it’s even got Jersey beat, and that takes some doing. If Blago turns out to be AC/DC, Ill. has the booby prize for sure.

Why in Hell would Americans be thinking they wanted to elect an inexperienced, apparently racist (from the contents of his books) academic Marxist from this corrupt state to be POTUS? It sounds ABSOLUTELY BLEEPING NUTS to me. All I can think of to attribute such insanity to is that old saying, “those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.”

Criminals with a gun are either stopped by the bottom of their magazine, or the top of someone else’s.

You really need to do some reading dude… You have not a clue!
