Hypocrisy, Chicago style
Advertisements [?]
King Richard II a.k.a. Mayor Richard Daley and his band of 50 Aldermen are allowed to carry concealed weapons! The Chicago City Council, with its' history of shameless characters, have never come off as law-abiding or honest citizens. How many have been indicted and/or jailed over the years? Enough!

A few examples of the shameless hypocrisy in Mayor Daley's Gun Ban arguments:

Michael Scott, King Richard II's former right hand man, and some say closest confidant, committed suicide earlier this year with an "illegal unregistered handgun". Michael Scott bailed out on life when the heat got too hot about questionable expenditures while Chicago School Board president. Questions also arose about other financial deals. Of course King Richard II couldn't believe it was a suicide and had to publically humiliate his coroner. Hypocrisy? You Betcha!

Ricky Hendon in 1994 had an "unregistered" handgun stolen from his home during a burglary. Why unregistered if aldermen are permitted to carry a concealed weapon? Who knows. The arrogant ass wasn't even contrite. "I have a right to protect myself" he declared at the time. Of course, Chicago's Finest (CPD) didn't bother to file charges.
Hypocrisy? You betcha!

U.S. Senator Roland 'Snake Belly" Burris, while running for Governor in 1994, admitted he owned a handgun but a year earlier endorsed a nationwide ban on handguns.
Hypocrisy? You Betcha!

Why is gun control not good enough for its proponents? And why is that ok with the foot soldiers?
