Rahm Emanuel does “something”
Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, shows that he really has his finger on the pulse of gun crimes in his city according to an LA Times article sent to us by ROS;
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has proposed a slate of tough gun control measures that would subject gun shops to strict monitoring, including video surveillance of all purchases, in an effort to stem violence in a city beset with an unusually high number of gun deaths.
The restrictions came after a federal court order in January forced Chicago to end its ban on gun sales in the city and gave officials until July to put in place regulations before the ban is lifted.
The Emanuel administration in a report released this week makes a case for Chicago gun shops to videotape all sales, ban gun shops in 99.5% of the city and limit each gun buyer at a store to one purchase a month, except for relics and returns. Gun sellers would be subject to quarterly audits.
In addition, gun shop workers would have to pass background checks and be trained to spot fake or “straw” purchasers, such as a male gang member getting a girlfriend to buy his gun because he’s ineligible.
Yeah, because that’s where male gang members are getting their guns – from gun dealers. Why don’t they mandate that criminals video their sales out of the trunks of their cars, too, I mean that would have about as much effect as these new laws. And then they could have all of the illegal gun dealers go through a quarterly audit.
Why don’t they limit gun dealers to one sale a month, while they’re at it. On top of that, when criminals break into the gun shops that are packed in all right next to each other, require those gun thieves to video themselves and leave an SD card of their crime on the counter.
I’m sure he’ll get reelected because he’s doing “something” to stop gun crime even though it’s completely useless.

I have to imagine that 99% of those restrictions would/will be found to be un-Constitutional. Especially the videotaping requirement.
Libs just don’t get it. I hope the judge reams them out and tosses out all of the restrictions as unconstitutional, they are…
There’s an easy way to stop such stupid laws.
1.) Gun shops move outside the city limits.
2.) Gun shops refuse to sell anything to anyone employed by the city of Chicago. Cops, Firefighters, Rham’s bodyguards, etc.
YMMV, but those would, in my humble opinion, be a couple good first steps.
“[S]uch as a male gang member getting a girlfriend to buy his gun because he’s ineligible.”
Owner: ID, please.
Um, this says you are a man. You appear to be a woman. I can’t help you. Sorry.
Buyer: “Yeth. I’m transgendering.”
Fast forward: “GUN SHOP OWNWER SUED FOR DENYING GUN PURCHASE TO GAY MAN”
I love how batshit crazy the leaders of Chicago are. That city is the perfect counter argument for those who wish for guns to be banned. Take a look at http://www.heyjackass.com for some amusing gun violence statistics about that shithole.
Rahm Emmanuel: the Midwest’s favorite fascist.
For some unknown reason, the Mexican Cartels have made Chicago their nationwide distribution hub. An army of 100,000 gang bangers run the streets with impunity. All “Rahmbo” can do for his supposed toughness is plead with the gang members to shoot fewer kids. Not no kids.
That’s what happens when you make your city a “gun free” zone
Some unknown reason? Chicago is a mecca for poor Latinos. Pilsen used to be Polish, now it’s Hispanic. My old neighborhood was a wide mix of Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese and Hispanics plus WASP yuppies. Now it’s mostly Hispanics. There were no shootings in my old neighborhood when I lived there. Now there are, on a regular basis.
Just glad I don’t live there any more, but I do keep track.
You have to love this nation’s immigration policies. Trying to look more like France every day.
More like Barrycade wants to make the U.S. look more like the state of Sinaloa.
France would be far too white for his liking.
I’m waiting for their next buy-back program to be announced on TV news, as if that’s going to put an end to guns and violent crime anywhere.
Great quote; “Participating in a gun buyback, is like you getting a vasectomy because you think your neighbors have too many kids!”
And then there’s this stupid bullshit too. Rahmbo is giving city internships to illegals because you know “white privilege” and all that, I’m sure.

At the same time the black teen population 16-19 has an unemployment rate of 92%. I mean, not like they couldn’t benefit from a City job or anything….
rb325th But they will have to be illiterate jobs with NO SKILLS REQUIRED whatsoever. Because they can’t read and do bone head math. That is the joke to me of calling them “internships”. It implies the person has some marketable skills acquired through education to “intern” for. That I am afraid is not going to be the case and the reason that the line forming on the left for the program will be nothing but “cricket noise”. Besides, internship or not, you are talking about people who DO NOT WANT TO WORK. PERIOD. They want a government handout subsidized by all they can steal or generate dealing drugs, guns, prostitution, etc.
When Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel mandates and enforces cameras in the trunks of every ’60 whatever, Chevy with a hydraulic kit and every old van in Chicago, then maybe he’ll catch someone…in a hoodie. Until then he’s singing the same old, worn out, out of key song he’s been singing and doing nothing except bothering the same, law abiding citizens who are the victims I care about. Gang members, like terrorists can kill one another all day long, to their and my, heart’s content. Makes me happy and gets rid of some of them. Emanuel is a worthless asshole.
Emanuel is a worthless asshole. And the perfect embodiment of the Liberal Progressive. It’s ironic that progressivism stops all progress.
I think this has more to do with Rahm’s fragile little ego than anything else. The courts told him he has to do something, and like a five year old he’s having a temper tantrum.
The gun shops should hand every customer a ‘V’-mask as they wal in the shop…..
‘walk’…. damnit.
No guns are good guns and good guns are NO guns! Right on rahm!
Damn, someone must have left a six-pack of Red Bull where vwp could find it. “Dumbcluckus maximus” here is on a roll – two ignorant but understandable comments in one day!
When you put up a sign in your front yard that says “This house proudly owns no guns!” let us know how that works out. If the thieves leave you a computer to tell us.
No gun is any better than the person holding it, VWP. Rahm is attacking in the wrong direction, and only hurting law abiding citizens while doing so.
How many times do we have to tell you, VWPudlicker? The little pink tablet in the urinal is not candy! Stop eating the damned things!
