All Show and No Go
Posted on June 19, 2014
As is always the case with politicians and their numerous minions in the media and elsewhere, the illusion of doing something is just that, an illusion. When the illusion doesn’t translate into reality, the answer is typically another law, ordinance or regulation to further “fix” what wasn’t broken to begin with.
So when it comes to gun shop regulation within the Chicago city limits, at least one Aldercreature gets it:
“I wish it could [make a difference] but, no it won’t. . . . You don’t control guns. We’re not controlling where they come from. All these kids — they get them. You just can’t stop that,” said Ald. Emma Mitts (37th). “You don’t know where they pick them up and who’s getting them to who and when they throw them away, who else gets them. Guns be used over and over again.”
Exactly, but lets pass it anyway because we have to look like we’re doing something and blah, blah, blah, for the children, blah, election coming up, blah, blah.
Keep it short and to the point. Name calling and similar stupidity will be deleted. If you insist on writing several paragraphs, start your own blog.
