Mayor Emanuel, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson plus the FBI and ATF are celebrating the confiscation of 7,000 illegal guns so far this year in Chicago. More than a thousand of them were taken in the south side’s 6th police district in part because of co-operation from the community. Standing next to a table of confiscated guns, Rahm again called on Governor Rauner to sign the gun dealer licensing bill on his desk, asking “Is he going to use his pen or his politics?”

| Any gun dealer in Illinois or anywhere else in the US must already have a federal firearm license or FFL, and anyone doing a retail business in the state must already have a business license. A state gun dealer license serves only two purposes, more money for a desperately broke state, and an additional way to harass honest gun sellers. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
