Reply #6: He just wants to make sure only "the right kind of people" are allowed to own guns

[DonP]

Seriously?

How stupid do people have to be, and insanely blind about gun ownership not to recognize what is clearly a racist suggestion?

Daley has just said he basically wants to make it too expensive for poor people to have a gun to defend themselves. Guess who the poorest people in Chicago are and what color their skin is?

If this idea had come out of Dick Cheney's mouth everyone here would be screaming about how racist this obviously will be. But since Daley has a "D" behind his name there are actually people praising the idea.

Otis MacDonald is a retired engineer living on his pension and social security in Morgan Park. How much should he have to pay in phony insurance premiums to Daley's designated insurance companies (and don't doubt for a moment that there will only be a few "approved" insurance vendors that are coincidentally donors) to have a handgun in his home?

If guns were really any kind of liability risk, you can be damn sure the home insurance companies would have tacked on a tidy $$$ extra premium for every gun owners home. Neither they, nor the life insurance people think gun ownership increases the risk to your life or home.

Have any gun owners, or even non-owners, ever had an insurance agent ask you about your guns, how many, what kind, etc and added to your premium costs because of them?

This is a crappy, phony idea by a guy that;s not only a poor loser but obviously a racist pig too.

Hell, maybe a nice, reasonable poll tax too, while we're at it. Since Daley wants to act like Bull Connor, why not go all the way.
