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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
