Maybe what we need is DEMONRAT CONTROL!
All the worst atrocities occur in places run by liberals and Demonrats. This is not a coincidence. This is either by design or due to their failed philosophy.
Gun Control? Obama's Chicago New U.S. Murder Capital
There is a link to a bigger article -Hardly major news when we hear more about gun violence and murder in Chicago - in fact just one day ago a mass shooting in South Side park was reported, albeit fortunately with no fatalities. Chief McCarthy however soon got on the "assault" weapon band-wagon, working we assume on the basis that banning such rifles automatically prevents criminal aquisition and use.In recently released statistics, the FBI reported there were over 500 murders in the Windy City in 2012, and yet as most know, the City is perhaps the largest single gun-free zone in the nation. Illegal guns of course are in plentiful supply but the good guys have no legal recourse to a means of self-defense.
Obama's Chicago Is Now Murder Capital Of U.S., FBI Says
One definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results. By that definition, most of CONgress and all of the loudest screamers for victim disarmament ought to be locked up in padded cells - not running loose.

Comments from downstate
Chicago is not Illinois:
++++++++++++
Having lived from the southern tip of Lake Michigan to the Hub of the Universe, I can honestly say I love Illinois and (most) of its people.
I drove to my hometown the other day for a celebration of my mom’s 88th birthday. As I dropped down the hill to take the back way into Spring Valley (Bureau County), I grinned.
I could see the bottomlands from where, when flooded, we took bullheads by the dozens. I knew on the other side a certain line of trees flowed the Illinois River, where we fished, boated and skied. And on the few beaches with some decent sand, there may have been a party or two.
I could practically see where my high school friends and I — without dogs or with someone’s mutt — chased pheasant, quail and rabbit. When my next-door neighbor got a purebred beagle, our quality of life skyrocketed.
My late father’s people are farm people from Ireland. Perhaps I have some unreasonable, romantic attachment to land and water. But when I see a farm field, I see the footsteps of my brothers. I can tell you which can make a pair of rubber boots last forever and which cannot wear rubber boots; he just doesn’t have the ankles for it. My thoughts drift to Labs and goldens and setters — all good, loyal and loving family — now passed.
I love this land. But today I am a bit resentful and $750 poorer.
The money? I bumped my life membership in the NRA up to “endowment” level and applied for life membership in the Illinois State Rifle Association.
Perhaps I should have done both long ago. I was an off-again, on-again NRA annual member until I lived in the Chicago area. There, the private skeet and trap clubs generally require NRA membership to join.
Then, seeing the annual legislative proposals — the sponsors of which wouldn’t know a buttstock from a bore — coming out of Chicago, I took advantage of a half-price offer and joined the NRA for life. The NRA doesn’t always thrill me, but it’s one of the only options out there for those of us who want to keep shooting.
Redneck? Gun nut? Please, I just don’t have time for it.
I learned shooting and gun safety from officers of the Illinois Department of Conservation (when it was called that); my dad, a World War II vet who was a gunner’s mate on a PT boat; and my brothers, who got their early instruction the same way I did. Later, I would take instruction from police range masters, NRA instructors and finally earn my own NRA instructor credentials.
I have vowed to retake the courses and regain my expired instructor credentials. More time, travel and payout are ahead.
Why? In a few words, liberal Chicago Democrats.
Here’s what hit my button lately: Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s proposed mandatory handgun registration (at $65 per gun) and a bill by Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, that would levy a 2 percent surcharge on all ammunition sales.
++++++++++++
Good commentary.
There's an old saying - that there is Chicago, north of I-80 and east of Route 47, and Illinois.
Unfortunately, there are enough Demonrats in and around Chicago, that, combined with the illegal and graveyard voters, can control what goes on in Springfield most of the time.

From the Staff: Law-abiding gun owners of Illinois deserve better

The real reason
The last line says it all:
+++++++++++++++
(KMOV) – A controversial handgun registration bill is gaining steam at the Illinois State Capitol and a second bill may be passed which would increase taxes on ammunition.
Video at the link.
Of course the mayor of the second nastiest place in Ill-Annoys doesn't see another useless, illegal law as an infringement on our basic rights. It's just a way of getting a handle on any law-abiding people left in the state who still own handguns.
Does this jerk think even one gang-banger or drug dealer is going to donate $20 per handgun to the state?

(KMOV) – A controversial handgun registration bill is gaining steam at the Illinois State Capitol and a second bill may be passed which would increase taxes on ammunition.
The gun registration bill is supported by the mayors of Chicago and
East St. Louis, but it was supposed to fail on arrival to Springfield.
It passed out of a committee this week.
Handgun owners tell News 4 that they see the registration bill and $20 feel mainly as a tax.
“I believe Illinois is trying to reinvent something the federal
government already has in place,” Steven kind, owner of Metro Shooting
Supplies in Belleville, said. "The ATF already has a way to track any
firearm that was legally purchased."
The bill is being pushed by Chicago legislators who blame illegally purchased weapons for its crime problem.
“A lot of people see this as an infringement on their rights,” East
St. Louis Mayor Alvin Parks said. “I don’t see it as an infringement.
I see it as an opportunity to get a handle on who really has a
handgun.”

Again and again and again
they keep on trying to make gun ownership in Illinois expensive and troublesome.
The new attack:
+++++++++++
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants lawmakers to require that all
handguns in Illinois be registered with the state, or gun owners could
face felony charges.
A statewide gun registry is key in helping solve Chicago crimes that involve handguns from outside the city, and would also help crack down on gun trafficking, Emanuel announced at a press conference Thursday.
Under Emanuel's proposal, handgun owners would have to pay $65 for a registration certificate from the state, which would function much like the title to a car. Illinois law currently requires that gun owners and shooters have a firearm owners identification card, which works like a drivers license. But the guns themselves are not registered at the state level.
The handgun registration certificate would include information about the owner, the make and model of the gun, as well as where and when the firearm was bought. Registration applicants would also need a valid firearm owners identification card.
Owners and dealers would be required to notify Illinois State Police whenever a handgun changes hands. The registration certificate would last for five years, and cost $25 to renew.
Handgun owners would also have to tell the state if their gun gets lost or stolen, or they could face misdemeanor charges, according to the mayor's proposal. People caught in possession of an unregistered gun would be slapped with a felony.
+++++++++++

Rahm just had to hand over almost $400,000 in a lawsuit settlement with the Second Amendment Foundation. So, of course, he has to punish every gun owner in Illinois with another un-Constitutional and useless law and fee.
Not to mention that now he's got that long-wanted gun registry so his storm-troopers can break down the correct doors come next Kristallnacht.

Bad penny
Thought this mope was out of it when he illegally ran for mayor of Chicago - residency violation. But, here he is again.
The left squawks about Karl Rove endlessly. This guy is the real thing:
By now most of the country has heard Herman Cain’s campaign accuse rival Rick Perry of leaking the story of Cain’s alleged sexual harassment of two former employees to Politico reporter Jonathan Martin.
Now, however, a Washington Times report has surfaced pointing the finger of blame at, of all people: Obama’s former chief of staff. The Times reports that a source close to the Cain campaign went one step further and suggested it wasn’t only Perry, but Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who was the culprit behind the leak.

Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis said Friday that Mayor Rahm Emanuel "exploded" at her during a meeting about a longer school day for Chicago Public Schools.

The president of the Chicago Teachers Union says Mayor Rahm Emanuel “exploded” at her during a debate over a longer school day, pointing his finger in her face and cursing.
CTU President Karen Lewis made the allegations in a Friday morning press release detailing a complaint filed by the union to the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board over the ongoing battle between the union and City Hall.

Chicago follies
Rahm Emanuel is getting into the spirit. Hide crime close to the house he used to claim he was a Chicago resident...
Rahm's Neighborhood
Some comments are alleging that in the interest of continuing the illusion of "this or that neighborhood is safe" and we aren't really suffering a manpower shortage, officers on the Rahm Detail have been instructed to use the address of 1730 W. Berteau for incidents that actually occur in the area of 4228 N. Hermitage and that this directive may have led to a bit of confusion on the part of responding units.
We aren't sure what the big deal is. Rahm fought a protracted legal battle to claim he lived at 4228 N. Hermitage except for a short stint covering government service. The media showed the house and address literally hundreds of times during the different rulings that went for and against the then-candidate. There was even a bunch of "moving back into 4228 N. Hermitage" coverage on the news a short time ago. We even recall some investigative reporting when it was alleged that 4228 N. Hermitage wasn't even on the tax rolls but rather hidden away in some sort of trust that removed it from the property tax rolls for years even though the owner was probably in a position to pay taxes for his entire block after receiving millions of dollars in "consulting fees" from a certain Illinois utility company. This story was later debunked.
Now it's a big secret where he lives?

Rahm it!
He's off the Chicago mayoral ballot - for now...
Update 1/26 - stayed by the Ill-Annoys Supreme Court. A stay is not a reversal, but his name might be on the ballot...
