“If you have the right to have 30, 40 or 50 guns and all the ammunition, and you get drunk some weekend, and you’re going to have some fun in the home, you better be careful”

These sage words of gun safety advise come from Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, who’s looking more and more like a nutcase, the closer and closer the Supreme Court-mandated end of his city’s handgun ban draws. Daley’s not done, of course. Yesterday, after press conferencing the fact that the city will spend some $25 million of federal stimulus money on new programs for students, schools and communities “most at risk for violent crimes” (i.e. most at risk of abandoning the Chicago political machine), Daley told his peeps to give peace a chance. “I don’t think guns are the answer,” Daley decried. “And so, like anything else, you keep the fight up. You’re fighting for people who are victims of crime.” Note: not preventing crimes. Or catching criminals. Helping the victims. Freudian slip? Hey, J. Edgar Hoover wore a dress . . .
