Chicago abolishes gun registry in place since 1968

[DanTex]

106. This thread is about the Chicago gun registry, not CCW.

Look around at the glee that is being expressed by some here at the prospect of less gun safety in Chicago. This is by people who clearly don't like the city, and would probably never go there voluntarily.

It's one thing to care only about oneself, to want easy access to guns and not care about those on the "other side of town" or in other parts of the county who suffer the inevitable consequences of lax gun laws. That is somewhat disappointing, but let's face it, people are selfish. But here is a decision that only affects the people living in Chicago, so the celebrations go beyond simply not caring about "those other people" to actually taking joy in their suffering.

I'm not saying that rural Dems are not "real Dems." I'm saying, or at least hoping, that the most actual Dems, rural or not, do not share this troubling disdain for people who live in cities.
