Chicago Mayor Richard Daley knows the Supreme Court is set to strike down the handgun ban in his city (and I mean HIS CITY). After threatening the highest court in the land (with an unforeseen mugging), and a lowly reporter (with rifle barrel sodomy), Daley has made it abundantly clear that his administration will do its level best to thwart any attempt by the Supremes to restore Second Amendment rights in The Windy City. In the past, Daley’s hinted that he might force gun owners to buy an extra insurance policy to cover their inherently dangerous firearms (just like cars!). Today, it’s The List. “We have to have some type of registry,” Chicago Mayor Daley told the Chicago Tribune. “If a first responder goes to an apartment, they need to know if that individual has a gun.” ‘Cause they have time to check a computerized list and don’t have time to, I don’t know, ask. You know; should the subject come up. Anyway, it’s nice to see that the Mayor is staying on message. Hey, did you know Chicago already has a long-gun registry? True story. More gun control joy after the jump . . .
