Chicago has banned the ownership of firearms for sometime now, and much like the D.C. Ban, it was sold on the premise of making things safer and cutting down on the crime in the city. Of course, it didn’t produce the results that they wanted. They still have a high murder rate of about 15.65 per 100k, with (as of 2005) 75% of those being committed with (now) an illegally owned firearm. Has all of these statistics stopped the city from disarming the rest of it’s citizens? Would Mayor Daley admit that perhaps this strategy is wrong? That would probably hurt this Democrat’s chances of remaining CEO of Mayors against Illegal Guns. As is usually the case, when a bad law is put in place, it takes nothing short of a Supreme Court act to remove it.

Now let’s talk about the latest out of the windy city. An 80 yr old vet (his name hasn’t been released) was at home and asleep with his wife and 12 yr old grandson late one night when 29 yr old Anthony Nelson broke into his house armed with an illegally purchased firearm, and stockings over his hands to prevent leaving prints. In short, Mr. Nelson meant business. Mr. Nelson fired one or two shots at the home owner before the homeowner returned fire with his own illegally purchased firearm. The same firearm he purchased because his house was broken into just 6 months earlier. The situation ended with Mr. Nelson dead, and the occupants of the home safe and sound. The vile piece of scum who is no longer a danger to society has a 13 page rap sheet, and even with all of that, the local courts and law enforcement were unable to keep him off the streets. What is the shocker of this whole story?

Police let the Korean War veteran, who walks with the aid of a cane, go without filing immediate charges because he appeared to act in self-defense, according to police sources.

They let him go… for now? I mean these “Only Ones” are really getting soft. I’m surprised they didn’t call in the SWAT team, shoot his dog, and then throw him down on his own front lawn and shackle him. After all, he’s a criminal in the eyes of the law much is that “vile piece of scum”. Maybe it was the cane, or perhaps the fact HE HAD NO OTHER EFFECTIVE MEANS to defend himself. A person should be allowed to defend themselves in their home with whatever means they see fit with. Whether it’s a katana, handgun, rifle, Scottish claymore (totally bad ass), or even a battle axe (even more bad ass). Now I know some liberals are going to froth at the mouth thinking, “OMG you’re an extremist, you want to allow Warren Buffet and Bill Gates to own nuclear weapons!”. You may not like what I have to say, but you have to agree the law is wrong here and I am right. I just want to nip the exaggerated argument in the bud. Don’t be so afraid that admitting the other side might be right that you alienate and further divide the people around you. The discussion here is firearms, swords, and axes as a means of defense. Nothing else.

So now, with all that being said, is Mayor Daley going to come out and say, “He won’t be prosecuted” and perhaps the law was wrong in the first place? Oh of course not, you guessed it already. This is same Mayor who thinks that shoving a rifle up someone’s butt shows how effective the gun ban in Chicago is.

Mayor Richard Daley refused to say today whether an 80-year-old Army veteran who shot and killed an intruder will be charged under the city’s handgun ban. Asked about the possibility of charges, the mayor ended a news conference he had called about summer curfew in the city.

At this point, I think it’s safe to say, the only thing that should be shoved up anyone’s butt is a sized twelve boot up Mayor Daley’s ass.
