Daley Going Global With Anti-Gun Campaign
Produced by Travis Truitt on Wednesday, April 28, 2010


Chicago Mayor Richard Daley is taking his anti-gun campaign worldwide.

Daley spoke yesterday at the Global Cities Forum named after his father at the University of Illinois-Chicago. He wants gun trafficking and gun violence to be part of a global agenda.

More than a dozen mayors joined Daley in signing a resolution calling on the United States and other national governments to address the issue.

DALEY: Because they don't want our guns. They don't want these weapons of destruction, and not mass destruction, just destruction of human beings. They don't want these anymore. They call upon the United States government to take a leadership role addressing the issue of global gun violence by imposing greater oversight and accountability of the gun industry.

The mayors are calling on international courts to hold gun manufacturers responsible for damages.When asked if world courts have that power, Daley said, "That's why we have about 12 million lawyers."

The mayors of several cities, including Paris, Mexico City, Philadelphia and Amman, Jordan joined Daley as he also challenged the news media to increase coverage of international gun trade and gun trafficking.

Hehehe...

How, exactly would an international court enforce a decree against the good people in the Commonwealth of Virginia?

Not possible. Not going to happen.

Hizzzzonah Daley, the quasi dictator of Chicago, whose city is a putrid, crime infested dung pile because of his nanny state policies, is actually a poster child for self reliance and the need for the individual citizen to take charge of their life, including their security.

Answer me this: Who do you think would do a better job protecting you Hizzzhonah or a 1911?

Let Daley walk the streets of his city without bodyguards (paid for my taxes), he will either change is mind or he will no longer be around to sprout stupidity.

Rather than taking his bodyguards away, how about government provides everyone in Chicago with one. After all, there really is a right to self-defense (as opposed to other "rights" some claim exist), so why not have universal self-defense?

We pay enough F-ing taxes. Can't tell me it isn't well within the budget.

Every time that imbecile opens his mouth, he sounds like a coked up corrupt politician in a direct to DVD Steven Seagal movie.

No wonder Rahm Immanuel is looking at taking him out in the next election.

The bottom line for all of these elitists is the fact that they consider us "mundanes" their cattle, their slaves. Slaves must not be allowed to have any means to resist their masters.

And the minute we can be disarmed, we will truly become the cattle.

Key words there. So, other countries are calling on US to solve THEIR problems. Typical. We've got the BATFE to work on this domestically - what have they got? Are they spending the money and taking the steps to minimize illegal (or even legal) firearms imports? I think not.

...and the minute they can hold gun manufacturers responsible for damages abroad, could we not hold automakers responsible for automobile-related damages and deaths? Cutlery manufacturers responsible for stabbing incidents? How about holding paper mills responsible for paper cuts? Or TV and computer monitor manufacturers for vision damage? ...Or Playboy responsible for carpel tunnel? These assholes are trying like hell to pull the plug only to watch the U.S. populace go down the drain.
