Does SCOTUS Ruling Matter to Daley?

Apparently the freedoms that this nation fought so hard for, and were remembered this past weekend are lost on Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. FoxNews.com offers this interesting take on how Daley has responded to the Supreme Court ruling:
- Gun owners need a Chicago Firearms permit, which costs $100 and must be renewed every 3 years, in addition to their Illinois Firearm owner’s ID.
- Firearms sales are banned in the city.
- Chicago residents can register only 1 handgun per month.
- When a weapon is transported it much be taken apart and not accessible.
- It is illegal to have your gun on the porch, yard or Garage. The gun is only legal inside the residence.
- Only one gun in the house can be ready to be fired. The rest must have trigger locks or be disassembled.
- Guns are banned from hotels, dorms or group living environments.
- Does any of this sound reasonable? What exactly is a “group living environment?” Is that a fancy word for apartment building? That hardly seems fair. Likewise, it is illegal to have guns in your own yard or garage?
Apparently Daley isn’t going down without a fight. Fortunately would-be gun owners still have the SCOTUS ruling on their side.
