Oh wait, got to add the recent statement from the dual citizen hypocrite who isn't letting "a good crisis go to waste" and has used armed police for a few years for his own kids in school... Emanuel said: "It’s outrageous and unsettling that the NRA would choose to address gun violence not by taking assault weapons off our streets, but by adding more guns to our schools… That is not the right answer for our society, our schools and most importantly our children."

At that time, firearm background check waits were about 23 minutes. Today, the wait time has jumped to seven days for the nearly 11,000 people waiting to buy a firearm."
