After another violent weekend in Chicago, city officials are making another push to get guns off the streets. Mayor Rahm Emanuel is set to announce a new $250,000 fund for community-based gun buy-back events across the city.
Churches and neighborhood organizations will be able to partner with the city to host buy-back events in their communities, in which people in possession of firearms can hand them over to the city in exchange for cash. The city used to solely run the events one location at a time. |

| "Hey, my city, like Detroit, is insolvent, mostly from overly generous pension plans and mafia kickbacks to elected officials on overpriced city construction projects. So I'll just set aside 1/4 mil to buy up private property and then I'll destroy it. It's less fun than lighting my cigars with 2500 hundred dollar bills, but what the heck, why not?" |

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
