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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
