The mayor said legislation would immediately be introduced in City Council. He said the violence last weekend, 54 people shot, 10 of those people dead, shows the need for the city's handgun ban to remain in place.
Quoting: Béla BartókSo, in other words, what Daley actually said was, "Despite the handgun ban, there were still 54 shootings, proving that the measure is ineffective. Furthermore, it is ENTIRELY possible that, of the ten killed, one or more may have been able to avoid being shot to death had they posessed the means to defend themselves." I find it utterly jaw-dropping that any political figure can actually, in public speech, PROVE that what he's doing is ineffective, while calling for it to continue. Just... wow.
