Preview to BHO's assault on gun owners.

[kieefer]

Phelps called Rahm Emanuel’s initiative a “slap in the face of every law-abiding gun owner.â€

The mayor said requiring handgun owners to register particular weapons would reduce the flow of illegal guns into Chicago from around the state by making it easier for police to figure out where they came from.

The registry proposal, which Emanuel said lawmakers will introduce in Springfield in coming weeks, would require anyone who buys a handgun to pay a $65 registration fee. To register a gun, a purchaser would need to provide his name and address, along with the weapon's serial number and the place and date of purchase. The registry would be in addition to the firearm ownership standards all gun owners must already meet.

Start at the local level, set a precedence then expand. I'm sure there's a chapter on this in Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.

That is just about the weakest argument I've ever heard for gun control.

I'm sure it's no big deal.

But I would hate to have register each of my guns at $65. a pop.

the gang bangers in Chicago will line up to get their guns registered.

Once again the mayor is all over it with a cure.

This is about revenue production, plain and simple. The Nazi gun control aspect is secondary. Start with the runt's bodyguards. Half the thugs probably get their firearms from the thug chicago police. I'm thinking chicago is the most corrupt spot on the planet, including Baghdad, Damascus, and Tehran.

Dead Fish Emanuel shows dead brain.

Then again, nothing's impossible for a man who controlled O behind the scenes, and Chicago apparently controls Springfield.
