here's the letter i sent to mayor daley.
Dear Mayor Daley:
I am outraged upon hearing the news of your new city-wide ban on "assault weapons", a ban that has conveniently extended itself
by including various common hunting rifles & handguns.
Mr. Mayor, you were once quoted as saying, "Every gun we take off the street is one less gun that can be used to maim or kill."
Every law abiding firearm owner couldn't agree more. However, you unconstitutionally crossed line from the "streets" and into
people's homes via your new law, and your elite CAGE unit.
This is terrifying! The very thought of this concept of gun enforcement is reminiscent of Hitler's SS troop's engaging in the
same activity only decades ago. Even more alarming is that your law, and the CAGE unit, effects the city's own police
officers.
Most saddening of all, because the guns your law now targets are overwhelmingly owned by law abiding citizens, they will no
doubt cooperate by turning them in. But for their sake, hopefully they'll keep what's entitled to them & just move. Further more,
the premises of this new law assumes that the actual criminals will voluntarily surrender their tools of the trade. A concept that is
not only highly doubtful, but is also destined to fail. You have done everything short of deputizing these criminals. Criminals that
will surely find more comfort in preying on once law abiding gun owners.
I will have no reservations about surrendering my badge if I'm ever subject to enforce such personally motivated laws that insist I
violate people's rights. After all, I have to be happy with the person i see in the mirror every day.
Finally, myself & millions of others can only pray that the officials, we the people, elect into office will not follow your
administration's example of gun control.
In parting, I'm curious Mr. Mayor, did we both raise our right hands and be sworn to the same constitution?
Shame on you!
Sincerely,
Res. Ofc. XXX (i removed my name on this copy for privacy reasons)
