Just another communist in democratic clothing.

Huh? You mean they dressed differently at one time? How did I miss that memo...I thought they have always dressed the same.
 
"There were 4 rifle homicides in the ENTIRE STATE OF ILLINOIS, out of 448 homicides total"
"...enact balanced gun legislation"
"Ban 50cal rifles"

So all four of those deaths must have been caused by 50cal's with high capacity ammo feeding devices (yea right) or this doesn't all up at all. I think it adds up to to this guy being "just another communist in democratic clothing."
 
Faced with rising crime, the only "solution" available to Daley is more gun control. He has to do something. It's not necessary that it works. A city-wide ban on handguns obviously won't do anything to diminish gun crime, so the next step is a statewide ban. When that doesn't work, he'll lobby for a nationwide ban.

There are two facts of prominence in this story: First, that the guns most associated with the public image of gang violence -- the assault rifle -- is the least to blame. Second is that gun control is completely ineffective at stopping gun crime. It only disarms citizens and makes them dependent on police and politicians for their safety. Hence, the renewed cries for more gun control.
