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 |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
