Gun "Rules" Begin Today

And should fall after court challenges. Some highlights from ABC 7:

• Chicago's new gun ordinance goes into effect Monday, allowing residents to have handguns in their homes.

"...allowing residents"? The City cannot "allow" what is an inalienable Right enshrined in the Constitution. This "allowing" bullshit is the media, once again, catering to an egomaniac who is attempting to circumvent citizens rights.

• The new ordinance has a number of strict requirements. It will require training before residents apply for a city firearms permit that will cost $125. Only one gun a month per adult may be registered, and owners must have no violent crime or DUI convictions in their history.

$125? That seems certain to be struck down at some point. Charging an exorbitant fee for a Constitutionally guaranteed right? The "registering one gun a month" provision is in effect criminalizing people who are able to buy multiple weapons at a time. It appears the City is attempting to create their own "bottleneck" at the registration step and the Courts may look upon that as a bad faith effort on the City's part - kind of like when they negotiate a contract.

• A spokesperson for the city of Chicago said the Chicago Police Department is still hammering out the specifics on the training requirements and regulations needed to get a city gun permit.

  Sources say that should be completed by Sunday for Monday, when Chicago's new handgun ordinance goes into effect.

We sense a lot of problems on this end.
