and "gun grabber" types that push people in the middle to the dark side. Rahm is among the right leaning DLC types. If you want to see some real Dem bashing, mention Blue Dogs in the healthcare reform threads.

Since you need a license called a FOID in illinois gejohnston Jun 2012 #8

How many guns have you bought in Illinois? DonP Jun 2012 #10

I'm not sure what your ultimate point is. PavePusher Jun 2012 #16

It seems the argument would be in favor of a national regulatory scheme Nuclear Unicorn Jun 2012 #37

Oooo, ooo, ooo... we could copy the alcohol prohibition, 'cause that worked so well too! PavePusher Jun 2012 #43

Thank god for another sane mayor. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #3

"Sane mayors" think it's ok to flout the law? mvccd1000 Jun 2012 #4

He's proposing to rewrite vague section of law to make it clear -- "No Friggin Guns Here." Hoyt Jun 2012 #12

"Support"? Other than online whining, what form does that support take? DonP Jun 2012 #14

Hug your buddies from the NRA Board of Directors next time you see them. Hoyt Jun 2012 #15

Another dodge from you? With a baseless accusation again? PavePusher Jun 2012 #17

So what are you saying -- you and your gun buddies are sending money to the Republicans? Hoyt Jun 2012 #20

Chicago Republicans! That's hysterical. DonP Jun 2012 #22

Yes there are Repuke candidates, and with the support of the gun crowd they may win someday. Hoyt Jun 2012 #23

But right now the pro-gun Dems are winning so everything is good. nt hack89 Jun 2012 #25

"So who is/are the "idiot(s)." Umm, you are, for knowing nothing about Illinois politics. DonP Jun 2012 #26

And, if you gun lovers have your way -- all that will change. Hoyt Jun 2012 #40

Again, what are you doing about it? DonP Jun 2012 #46

So, when you say you "support gun control" you actually mean - you do nothing? DonP Jun 2012 #18

NRA has plenty of power and is out to beat Obama. I am sure your devoted support is appreciated. Hoyt Jun 2012 #19

No they really don't. They're no threat this year. A gun control fan told us so. DonP Jun 2012 #21

They are dumping money and support into beating Obama -- yet you love and support them. Hoyt Jun 2012 #24

Only the money that people contribute to the lobbying side of the organization, and thanks to you .. DonP Jun 2012 #28

Wrong, the Executive Director and Board Members such as Teddie Nugent speak out agains Obama? Hoyt Jun 2012 #41

What a coincidence - I'm supporting a Dem that wants concealed carry in Illinois. DonP Jun 2012 #47

Your 'support' for Rahm is like your support of Georgia Democrats- lip service only. friendly_iconoclast Jun 2012 #48

Challenging laws is not flouting them. That's how they get changed. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #29

It WAS challenged, he lost - several times! DonP Jun 2012 #32

You hit the nail on the head! Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #39

"Where am I wotng?" Where to start? DonP Jun 2012 #44

I think you are confusing me with someone else Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #69

Another sane mayor protected by a small army of people with handguns and automatic weapons. Remmah2 Jun 2012 #7

What does any of that have to do with public safety? Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #31

Mayors of Chicago and NYC are elitist 1%. Remmah2 Jun 2012 #61

Are you insinuating that all of the dreaded 1% are corrupt devils? Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #67

Finland is more gun fucking crazy than we are gejohnston Jun 2012 #72

Just more numbers and stats. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #79

false choice, gejohnston Jun 2012 #83

The point is they deny ordinary people the right to protect themselves. GreenStormCloud Jun 2012 #74

Ordinary people don't carry guns. Sorry to disappoint you. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #75

I have been to EP many times. At least 30. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #33

El Paso is the 22nd largest city in the U.S. That makes it a major U.S. city. GreenStormCloud Jun 2012 #54

Sorry, number 22 hardly makes it major IMO Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #55

How about Dallas then? Murder rate DROPPED for the seventh straight year. GreenStormCloud Jun 2012 #58

I'm not anti-gun. I'm pro public safety. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #34

"bash our Dem politicians."! You better take a closer look at the guy you love so much. DonP Jun 2012 #36

Not all Dems, just union busting gejohnston Jun 2012 #38

I'm perfectly happy to bash Michael Bloomberg, as well. friendly_iconoclast Jun 2012 #50

I don't support the "stop and frisk" policy or the "muslim squad" Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #52

"Nothing to do with trying to keep guns off the streets of NYC."??? MicaelS Jun 2012 #56

I think you understand little about Kansas and it's residents' desire to be abortion free. friendly_iconoclast Jun 2012 #62

As far as it doesn't interfere with public safety or individual rights. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #64

nuclear reactors are not among the individual rights gejohnston Jun 2012 #65

Me too. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #71

Since even the dissenters in Heller admitted the 2A protects an individual right... friendly_iconoclast Jun 2012 #70

Look I don't support CC or the issuing of permits. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #82

May your good luck continue. GreenStormCloud Jun 2012 #88

Ditto! Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #94

Sane? Now THAT'S funny! Spoonman Jun 2012 #13

Like carrying a gun every day and expecting different results? Is that sanity. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #35

LMAO Spoonman Jun 2012 #42

Who's talking about bans? Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #45

Sometimes the results ARE different. GreenStormCloud Jun 2012 #77

You did right. Good for you. If all behaved as well, we wouldn't have any argument. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #81

If I had not been armed, we would have been at the burglar's mercy. GreenStormCloud Jun 2012 #87

I think if you had not been armed, you would have used other options. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #90
