What should also be a hurdle is the fact that Schakowsky is married to convicted felon Robert Creamer, who “pleaded guilty to defrauding banks out of 2.3 million dollars in a check-kiting scheme along with violations of federal tax laws.” That would make him a person prohibited by law from owning a handgun, an “assault weapon” or any kind of gun at all.

Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothin' Left to Lose
Yep--Zalewski claims that some of his colleagues so fully share his sick lust for imprisoning Illinois gun owners that they would refuse to support his bill if it were not oppressive enough. [More]So at what point do gun owners decide they've lost enough?

Friend of the Devil
Rev. Franklin Graham and other leading evangelical figures are publicly backing efforts to require background checks for all gun purchases, providing a shot in the arm to stalled congressional efforts to enact elements of President Barack Obama’s gun control plan. [More]And naturally, those who hate everything he (says he) stands for are outraged that he'd try to breach the "wall of separation." No?
Shouldn't Elmer Gantry here be trying to con widows on fixed incomes out of love offerings or something?
Can Computer Professionals and Digital Technology Engineers Help Reduce Gun Violence?
Not if stupid sh!t like this is the best these cloistered eggheads can come up with. Interesting, he doesn't say how many people he's willing to kill to impose these intolerable acts, or what he proposes to do about it if we don't go gentle into that good night [More]
And just to show how leading edge this technology geek isn't, I and a few others have been warning against this kind of nonsense for more than a decade.

A Bogus "Settled Question"
“It was a settled question, and the overwhelming consensus, bordering on unanimity, was that the Second Amendment granted a collective right” enjoyed by the states, not individuals, Bogus said. Under this interpretation, the Constitution provides no right for an individual to possess a firearm. [More]Bull, and Bogus of all people, fraudulently pretending the academic/legal scholarship high ground belongs to him, knows better.
From Dred Scott:
It would give to persons of the negro race, ...the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, ...to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased ...the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.And from William Rawle:
The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.And lest we forget Cruikshank, reiterated in Heller:
The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it “shall not be infringed.” As we said in United States v. Cruikshank , 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876), “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed...”

But no one wants to take your guns.
I wish NRA et al hadn't opposed it. I'd love to see these swine try to enforce this.
Ditto for all local ordinances that violate preemption. The let someone get standing and sue the crap out of them.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
And here's another idea -- where the hell are the city attorneys on crap like this? Those who allow councils to approve preemption-violating measures without publicly dissuading them based on their illegality ought to have bar complaints filed against them.

We're the Only Ones Reported Enough
The latest incident started after Pte Patrick Okot Odoch, now on the run, apparently attempted to rape the daughter of another officer, Sgt Onesmus Adule, who reported the matter to the police. Angry that he had been reported, Odoch reacted in the most beastly way, shooting 10 people dead, including Adule. [More]Yep, time to tighten up on those Ugandan gun controls.
I actually like the idea of disarming off-duty cops, assuming they live in areas where that's imposed on the rest of us. Let them make the same choices and face the same risks we have to.
