Gun rights group seeks apology from Oak Park administrator

The Chicago Tribune reports:

The leader of a gun rights group is asking for an apology from an Oak Park village administrator for comments he made after the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban.

In a June 27 interview with National Public Radio, Oak Park Village Manager Tom Barwin said, "It's just completely befuddling that our Supreme Court would be in alliance with the gangbangers."

Barwin's comment drew criticism from Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, based in Bellevue, Wash.

"We find it a bit appalling," Gottlieb said Monday, "and, quite frankly, that kind of rhetoric is insulting."

Oak Park is one of the few places in America one can't own a handgun.This is quite strange because Oak Park has a history of a major criminal living in its' borders.If Chicago Mob Boss Sam Giancana lived in your town(before his murder) wouldn't you want to own a handgun? We remind readers that the Chicago Mob strongholds of Cicero and Elmwood Park are quite close to Oak Park.No word yet on this one from the Cook County States Attorney that has a meager history of bringing cases against the Chicago Mob.
