As predicted and threatened, Chicago's boss, Mayor Daley and his rubberstamp councile have enacted new gun ban laws in light of the Supreme Court decision this week on the 2nd Amendment. Read it all here.
The Justices overturned Chicago’s ban on handguns in the city and 4 days later, city aldermen unanimously approved the most-strict regulations on gun ownership in the nation; 45-0. Daley and his team have carefully crafted the ordinance in an attempt to dodge any conflicts with the supreme-court ruling, but at a press conference the Mayor made it clear that he is ready for a fight. “As long as I’m Mayor, I will never give up or give in to gun violence that continues to threaten every part of our nation including Chicago,” He said at a press conference announcing his counter to the ruling.
The ordinance begrudgingly allows gun owner ship but slaps a host of regulations on top of it. Some of the key regulations are as follows:
Gun owners need a Chicago Firearms permit, which costs $100 and must be renewed every 3 years, in addition to their Illinois Firearm owner’s ID.
Firearms sales are banned in the city.
Chicago residents can register only 1 handgun per month.
When a weapon is transported it much be taken apart and not accessible.
It is illegal to have your gun on the porch, yard or Garage. The gun is only legal inside the residence.
Only one gun in the house can be ready to be fired. The rest must have trigger locks or be disassembled.
Guns are banned from hotels, dorms or group living environments.
And so in the land of Daley, American Rights guaranteed by the Constitution remain under constant attack!
