They seem rather upset the people of Chicago may obtain the means of self defense – from the Associated Press:
A Supreme Court ruling finding that Americans have the right to bear arms anywhere they live almost certainly means the end of Chicago’s decades-old handgun ban but may not make handgun ownership there much easier.
Mayor Richard M. Daley says city officials have been looking at various measures they could implement to make owning a handgun difficult and that he plans to quickly put the measures before the City Council…
Translation: “But we don’t want an armed population.” Armed populations tend to irk big government types as there may yet come a point where government has become so big and corrupt that a pistol shot might prove necessary as a corrective. Daley doesn’t want any of that – that could just open up the door for more demands on matters of personal liberty, and no liberal ever want to be in the position of helping liberty. Just too difficult.
