Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants state handgun registry!

If this isn't an all out attack on law abiding Illinois gun owners, I don't know what is.

According to the mayor "requiring handgun owners to register particular weapons would reduce the flow of illegal guns into Chicago from around the state by making it easier for police to figure out where they came from."

"The registry proposal, which Emanuel said lawmakers will introduce in Springfield in coming weeks, would require anyone who buys a handgun to pay a $65 registration fee. To register a gun, a purchaser would need to provide his name and address, along with the weapon's serial number and the place and date of purchase. The registry would be in addition to the firearm ownership standards all gun owners must already meet."

This is a bold move by the Mayor, knowing that Wisconsin just passed concealed carry and that's it's been a huge success. I'm sure the fact that gun sales have gone through the roof in recent years has something to do with this. The revenue generated by this scheme would be astronomical.

The lovely States of Indiana and Wisconsin are calling to me more and more.
