Daley suports gun ban....

because of all the shootings in his city. The problem is, of course, that Chicago has one of the toughest gun laws in the country. This shows how absurd the current thinking is on guns. The gun ban is certainly not saving anyone's life. The "bad guys" are still able to get guns. In fact, the only people who are not willing to get guns (because they certainly are able to drive 20 miles outside the city to get one) are the law-abiding citizens who want to protect themselves and their families.

The real reason for gun control is the same as every other law passed by the elite majority; they want to control how people act, how they think and who they rely on. The government seeks to command that we own certain things and that we do not own other things. The government should not be able to tell us which bundle of goods to consume, and which bundle of goods to not consume. This is especially true when the Constitution and the Supreme Court all have stated that the government cannot have bans like this.

The arrogance of power is daunting. People like Mayor Daley, the former Mayor of DC, President Obama and the Justices who came out for the gun ban all believe that they are more understand, more powerful and more compassionate than the constitution. This is how democracy begins to fall; our elected leaders do not listen to the documents that supposedly rule them, they do not listen to the people, they only listen to their own whims.

On this happy note, I wish you all a happy Wednesday.
