CCRKBA BLASTS DALEY’S ‘NEW LOW,’ FOR BLAMING FORT HOOD MASSACRE ON GUNS
BELLEVUE, WA – Anti-gun Chicago Mayor Richard Daley has reached a new low in his attempt to blame the Fort Hood massacre on firearms, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
“Mayor Daley is deplorably capitalizing on the outrage at Fort Hood to push his gun prohibition agenda,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “This is the height of moral bankruptcy from a man whose administration was sued Wednesday morning by the Chicago inspector general over apparent interference with an investigation into possible wrongdoing by current and former city employees.”
On Monday, Daley reacted to the Fort Hood shooting by telling reporters, “Unfortunately, America loves Guns. We love guns to a point where that, uh, we see devastation on a daily basis. You don't blame a group.”
“You don't blame guns, either,” Gottlieb fired back. “You hold the perpetrator responsible for his crime, not the instruments he used. Would Daley blame cars for the highway carnage created by drunk drivers?
“Perhaps the real culprit here,” he continued, “is former President Bill Clinton. The Washington Times revealed this morning that after he took office in 1993, the Army, under Clinton, instituted a ban on the carrying of firearms by military personnel on their bases. As a result, soldiers have been disarmed and left vulnerable to this kind of attack. Using Daley’s logic, he should blame Clinton for the Fort Hood massacre. That makes more sense than blaming guns.
“Daley has an agenda,” Gottlieb observed, “that he shares with other anti-gun extremists. They will exploit any tragedy to pursue their goal of public disarmament and destruction of the Second Amendment. Whether it is the assassination of a Seattle police officer, the murder of 13 people at Fort Hood, or the horrible body count of crime victims that has piled up in Chicago under Daley’s regime, they will dance through the blood toward the nearest sympathetic microphone to push their cause.
“America must ignore the ravings of anti-gun fanatics,” he concluded, “who are so blinded by a hatred for individual liberty and personal protection that they cannot see how foolish and petty they have become.”
With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA :: Homepage) is one of the nation's premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization, the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States.
... of course he will blame this on guns instead of the users. Daley is a fool. I wonder how happy he'd be if his security detail wasn't allowed to have guns to protect him ?
... this a**h*le needs to be removed from office.

IMHO, Lil' Dick is worthless and not worth listening to even for the time of day.
As far as the ISSUE of gun control, it is specifically BECAUSE individuals are not armed (or more appropriately in "unilateral disarmament zones")--the very thing advocated by this demagogue--that evil individuals can exploit an unarmed group of people to do their horrific acts. As it worked on a Macro scale (Germany, Mao, etc.) so it also works on smaller scales where evildoers and terrorists do horrible things to groups of fine and nice people who have been hobbled in their ability to provide for their own self defense.
We always lament how someone "falls through the cracks" -- well, this will always happen somehow. We've more than demonstrated that there are more cracks or they were bigger than we thought and that, in our nation at least, we are wholly unable to interdict and stop these people before the fact. The only way to stop terrorists and evil individuals is the prompt, accurate, and violent application of force by well trained and well armed good guys.

Daley is the cappo of the entire Chicago criminal cabal, dressed in politician's clothes. Anything he says is as meaningless as that spouted by his "homeboy that made good" sitting in the Whitehouse. Socialist drivel.
Keep "poking the bear", Daley - one day you'll get bitten.
If the voters in Chicago can't remove Daley, their alternatives are move out or live with what the majority elected which makes me glad I don't live in Chicago as neither alternative appeals to me.

The Science & Industry and Natural History museums aren't bad.
You have Daley in Chicago and Bloomberg in New York; both cut from the same fabric; both envisioning themselves as "kings" of their respective domains. Bloomberg even had the term limits laws changed so he could remain in office.

Exactly! I cannot believe their colossal egos haven't exploded their skulls yet. Men (and I use the term loosely here!) like Daley and Bloomberg are as transparent as plastic wrap. It's all too easy to see where their heart is, it's in their ass.
