HOW COME WE DON’T SEE THIS IN THE ‘NEWZ’?

I wish I could say headlines like this were shocking and appalling, but the fact is, I’ve seen it before. We all have.
(California’s Leland Yee, anyone?)

Sometimes it seems the louder they yell, the more they smell and have to hide.

This latest volley comes from the Windy City, a perennial bastion of gun control. Democrat ‘stupidness’ in other words.

Alderman Ed Burke, the longest-serving City Council member in Chicago history (so long that he was Alderman when I was a kid and I’m now 68, and I despised the bastard then just as much as I do now) and a vocal anti-gun advocate, is under a federal probe for attempted extortion.

When the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided Burke’s office, they confiscated 23 guns. That’s right, the powerful official who CHAMPIONED many a gun control law throughout his dubious tenure, was found in possession of nearly two dozen firearms. It’s the same old ‘guns for me but not for thee’ elitist hypocrisy that runs rampant in America.

While gun-free zone signs are clearly visible outside City Hall, Burke may have relied on an 1872 statute to legally house his guns. That law designated aldermen as a peace officer. uh, huh. Hmmm

It’s an interesting turn for a public official who recently encouraged city residents to turn in their guns at a “buyback.” “Bring them in, get your 100 bucks, get those guns off the street,” Burke enthused and espoused.

Oh WOW. $100 bucks.

It looks like Burke might be the one getting off the streets instead. One can only hope.

I’ve a few more ‘doozies’ in the works coming up here shortly, so stay tuned……………………………
