Mayor Daley hails passage of law jailing illegal gun toters

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Mayor Daley’s gun control proposals are frequently shot down by the General Assembly, but he won a rare victory today.

The Illinois Senate unanimously agreed to make unlawful use of a weapon a non-probationable offense — punishable by one to three years in prison — whenever the offender carries a loaded weapon and has no valid Firearms Owners Identification (FOID) card.

The House also approved the bill unanimously. It now awaits Gov. Quinn’s signature.

In a news release distributed after the vote, Daley hailed the bill as “another tool” to protect children and combat an outbreak of neighborhood violence that prompted two state lawmakers to suggest calling out the Illinois National Guard.

You can't own a handgun in Chicago and now you'll automatically go to jail if you defend yourself because you can't get a valid FOID card in Chicago! For a look how how gun control came to Chicago with the help of the mafia.
