#1 Maybe the lawyers can find more money suing politicians who engage in blatant violation of basic Constitutional rights of their citizenry. Never know till its tried, right mayor.

#4 Daley says, "We are shipping guns there by the truckload to people to kill each other. They're not manufactured there. And we want the drugs that come from other countries that is a conduit, like a highway through Mexico, into the United States! And we sit like we have no responsibility. We should not ship any guns to Mexico."

We are shipping them there directly from the factory? Doesn't seem right. If they are ending up there in volume, it is probably a few here and a few there until it adds up.

What percentage of the guns there are manufactured in the US?

And I'm sure if S&W didn't fill the demand, that Russia or China would be more than happy to.

#5 That Constitution thingee keeps getting in the way of our Political Overlords.

It will be mute in June when the Supremes rule against Chicago's handgun ban

#6 I'm not sure the Duffy's would be happy with their pet pol interfering with a product useful to them..
(ducking...) Of course their preference is construction equipment and supplies....

#7 Solution...Chicago declares independence and becomes it's own country just like Zimbabwe.

#9 Sure thing, Dick. And while we're at it we can sue the Russians for all those Kalashnikovs.

#10 There have been far more Chinese AK-47's and SKS carbines sold in the states than Russian ones.
A russian model is actually quite a find anymore.
I'd be willing to bet that there are many, many more AK's and SKS's in American (or Mexican) homes than AR-15's or Stoner's or Springfield M1a's.
Most of the guns that go to Mexico are either obtained through burglaries or carried back by Mexicans that live in the states. Every one of them comes home to Mexico with a pickup truck and a gun. Been there, seen it. Big man with fancy pickup and a gun, its like a mexican comic strip or something.

#11 Richie Short Shanks could also hire some police officers. He could ensure that said officers are properly trained. He could lean on his pet district attorney to have felons convicted of gun crimes put away in the state prison forever (c.f. Virginia). He could have his city officials work on community improvement and get residents to trust calling the police about the drug dealers and gang bangers --

-- oh, what am I saying?

#13 Mayor Daley, it seems like Chicago has its own crime problems such as increasing murders. Maybe what you are saying is just distraction from a whole bunch of problems in your own neighborhoods. But Chicago has been and is a model for crime. Runs the gamut from crooked politicians, ACORN, dead voters, to murder in your streets. Daley, read the Constitution. If you don't understand it you shouldn't be in office.

#15 As a Chicagoan I have to make some corrections here... because you guys are driving the rest of us Chicagoans nuts! No offence intended, we know these are innocnet mistakes.
3DC - It's the Duff's not the Duffy's
Besoeker - Illinois is already run like Zimbabwe, how would we notice?
Steve White - Illinois has STATES ATTORNEYS not DA's We also have the Secretary of State not DMV's. We already 'invest' millions in the 'community' That's worked out well.
JohnQC - We haven't needed dead voters since we got computerized voting machines. Now they only need one guy to steal an election and it reduces all that paper. IT's GREEN!

#16 Thanks Waldemar Gleamp1150. I stand corrected about dead voters.

#17 One of their hands is bawwing about the manufacturing sector fleeing American while at the same time the other is doing it's very best to send packing what manufacturing remains.
