Less than 24 hours after the fatal shootings at Northern Illinois University, two lawmakers were drawing very different lessons from the tragedy. [...]
Rep. Edward Acevedo, a Democrat from Chicago who has spent 12 years responding to shootings and other incidents on the Southwest side as a Chicago police officer, said such incidents point out the need to take more guns off the streets.
We hate to burst the Tribune's bubble, but Eddie hasn't spent 12 months on the street since he got off probation and lucked into a political spot. He's been detailed to "Detached Services" for years where he might perhaps type and serve a few papers as necessary to maintain the illusion of being a cop. This article is a blatant attempt to lend legitimacy to gun grabbers by having a "cop" be anti gun. Eddie is no more a cop than Eddie Burke was ever a cop. Or "Big Hog Balls" Beavers.
- “What’s going to happen when someone pulls out a hairbrush that someone else thinks is a gun?’’ Acevedo asked. “Are we going to turn this state into the Wild West, where everybody gets to carry guns?”
And in 48 other states, where are these supposed bodies stacking up? Where's the "Wild West" happening? The only "Wild West" we've heard about recently is the west side of Chicago where murders run rampant and even then, Area 4 barely keeps up with the insanity in Areas 1 and 2 lately. And what is banned in these parts? Guns of course!
Acevedo said the NIU shootings show that Illinois must ban the use of assault weapons and certain types of shotguns, perhaps including the one used on the campus in DeKalb [...]
“These weapons are made for mass destruction and war – they don’t belong on the streets of Illinois,’’ Acevedo said. “They are made to kill mass amounts of people. You don’t need these kinds of weapons to do any kind of sport hunting.”
Um, dumbass? The Remington 870 is the
most popular hunting shotgun of all time. It's the most used sporting shotgun in existence. Stop parroting the Brady anti-gunners and do some research. Oh wait, aren't you the same softball who claimed Illinois needed to ban all .50 caliber long guns, even though the grand total of persons killed by .50 caliber rifles in the United States still stands at ZERO?
Shut up Eddie. You're being ignorant. Again.

eddie is a dumbass.
I heard that when Eddie was a PPO he shot his mouth off to a "veteran officer". The unavoidable lets take it outside ensued....Eddie got his ass kicked.
Isnt that right pineapple head?
FUCK YOU, ASS-e-vedo!!! I got a 9-inch beef-beretta in my Sniff & Worn underwear with your name on it. You know where it hangs, wannabe!!! Do us all a favor and drop dead, your cocksucker.
Shut up Eddie. You don't know the difference between a hair brush and a handgun.
Same goes for you thinking a comb is a knife. Grow up and get real.
Why does this non-thinking, emotional approach to the whole, hideous situation re-surface, time after countless time? Our elected "Leadership" constantly gives us the same old "needing more Gun Laws" answer to one of these senseless atrocities after another.
Just imagine yourself in such a situation! Your kid is successfully situated, away at College, doing his or her best to advance and they are gone, snuffed by the incomprehensible and cowardly act of "one crying out for help!"
Then they must hear the same old business form people like Mr. Durbin, Mr. Blagojevich, Richie Daley and House Cat Acevedo; all of whom have their own "Security Details." (Gee guys, why all this security?)
As if it isn't already bad enough, we always seem to get a public caveat about any conceal/carry solution's leading to another "Wild West".
We know that we can never be totally safe in this World, especially from the insane actions of those who care not about what happens to them.
But at least giving the majority of honest, decent citizens the option of a Conceal/Carry Law would give the "Good Guys" a fighting chance.
You know, kind of like one of those "Level Playing Fields that we hear so much about!
It would be more straightforward if you at least added a note conceding that the murder rate has gone down more dramatically here than in those other 48 states.
Gun control or lack of gun control has little to do with it. Police have a lot to do with it.
Does the "latin" fast eddie actually think all these Pilsen or
Cragin bangers are going to give up
their stuff because he sez so. He should walk from Cicero to Austin on Fullerton on a busy night and explain his case to the populace. Some beat cars going to find his gump carcass being roasted in some pachuco's backyard.
¡Un estupido puto!
Why doesn't such idiocy from the mouths of guys like Blagojevich, Daley, Durbin and 'House Cat' Acevedo fail to surprise? Afterall, they continue to put the blame on the guns, the gun manufacturers and the shops & dealers, all lawful.
In the wake of such atrocities, they offer their 'Offical' sympathy, they offer a "safer" campus, more laws and a crackdown on Gun Shows and collectors; once again, all lawful. And all the while, these elected leaders all have their own Police Detail/Body Guards.
And they continue to vilify any notion of a Conceal/Carry Law. We have repeatedly heard that we shouldn't wish to return to the violence of the "Old West".
Gee guys, it's even worse now; sort of like the proverbial "Lambs to the Slaughter." Conceal/Carry would do a lot more to correct the situation than all of the thousands of other Gun Laws we now have.
It would give the Citizenry that "Even Playing Field" that we hear so much about.
Why oh mighty rulers, why? WHY NOT give the honest, law-abiding citizen a chance out there
patronage hack all the way wouldnt know the inside of a police car from an arrest report

============
Chicago's murder rate had nowhere to go but down. It was too high to begin with.
Longer prison terms and federal prosecution of EXISTING gun laws had more to do with it than adding another layer of feel good legislation.
He's the same jag that wants to legalize all the illegals. That don't sound like police work to me. What a crook, just like the rest of them. Thinks he's better than everyone. I'm sure he'll end up in WI or MN someday next to Ryan and the rest of them. Follow the money trail!
Eddie Acevedo wears a CPD uniform but is not a policeman. This guy is considered a joke cop within the CPD. Keep it up Eddie,shall we bring up some of your indiscretions and misgivings on this board or to the media????
You wanna play with us Eddie???
did you ever meet his brother Manny? another P.O. who hid at the airport and now has a cush job w/the county. i remember when Manny went out of state and fought the police on furlo and big brother had to smooth it out. political hacks!
Police have a lot to do with it.

Baloney.
From my cold dead hands!
"But at least giving the majority of honest, decent citizens the option of a Conceal/Carry Law would give the "Good Guys" a fighting chance."
The citizens already have what is not the politicians to 'give', namely, the absolute, God given Right to Keep AND to Bear Arms.
ALL laws interfering with this Right are, by definition, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and are thus null and void.
The fact that law enforcement officers enforce these unconstitutional laws is what is depriving the citizens of their 'fighting chance'.
Period.

Please, save the bullshit! Gentrification has done more to reduce crimes in all categories then anything that the police has done or can do.
He's a dumbocrat politician form the peoples democratic republic of Chicago(Illinois). They can't help spouting off, after all the media gives them free space.
Eddie may be ignorant, but he'll get re-elected. His espoused views are mainstream. Yours are not.
VOTE REPUBLICAN, VOTE REPUBLICAN, VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!! STOP THE NONSENSE!! STOP THE NONSENSE!!

If he got his ass kicked and didnt beef, he had some quality.
If he did beef, then he's a bigger piece of sh*t than he's become..
Newflash!! The wild west worked!
Hey eddie, if you WERE the real Police, then you would know whats going on out there and the need for law-abiding business owners and citizens to be armed. Keep your whore paws of peoples guns;
U CUERDO SUCIO!!!
FUNNY THING ABOUT EDDIE IS BRIDGEPORT BACKS HIS PLAY ALL THE TIME. DALEY HAS HIM IN HIS POCKET. ACEVEDO HAD QUITE A FEW CHALLENGERS FOR HIS STATE REP SEAT AND GUESS WHAT ALL ACCEPT A TOTAL LOSER DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE.
DONT FORGET THE FOP ENDORSED HIM.
B CUZ HE IS A GHOST PAY-ROLLEE.
HEAVEN FORBID YOU TOW HIS CAR HE MIGHT HAVE ONE OF HIS 9TH DIST INDICTED OFFICER(DEVALLE) TRY AND TAKE YOUR JOB.
DONT FORGET THE FOP ENDORSED HIM....
HISTORY IS NEVER ERASED.
Eddie shows exactly what he is nothing but a two bit politician, he was never the police and if he ever loses his position in Springfield he never will be the police. He got his brother a good state job so he retired from the job early, only to fight with on-duty police officers in Florida. Something we NEVER DO. The apple dont fall far from the tree.
To Eddie,and the rest of the gun grabbers, I give you this photo.
http://st50.startlogic.com/~gunshowo/2ALEGAL/MinutemanStatue.jpg
Word is that the FOP is considering pulling their backing of this pockmarked pimp cuz everytime there's a vote in Springfield that the Daley/HDO crowd is against, he "abstains" from voting, citing conflict of interest due to him being a police officer.
What a tool. When he was first elected he'd walk around like the newly-elected King, giving everyone the left-handed handshake like he was nobility. The Acevedo crew is despised in their own neighborhood, known as being above the law and all of their minions in "spots" like the airport, tact, and 26th St. "foot patrol" in a vehicle.
I worked in 012 for their Xmas party fill-in one evening and there was a call of battery in progress. The older Hispanic lady I talked to said it was one of the Acevedo's, lumping up on his girlfriend again. She said they're always doing shit like that, making it clear that they're
above the law and all hooked up.
do you know that e.a. was charged criminally by an ads and a a w/c for an incident. The ads was never called as a witness on civil cases. The w/c has passed away.

We have better doctors.

---------------------------------
No need for the feds to be involved. Its every bit as illegal for felons to have firearms under illinois law as it is under federal law. why isn't this enforced against the gang bangers.
If there had been a height requirment to get hired on CPD, short eddie acevedo would have been a hood rat.

So wait, you were there and didn't do anything? Why not, did somebody pull you aside and tell you not to take police action? Your whole post is full of shit, and the Acevedo on "foot patrol" has no fucking relationship whatsoever to the Acevedo family. Get your facts straight dickhead.
Dork says what???

Do tell.
99% of the time I don't vote for fop endorsements.
So this Eddie character is an Eddie Burke type whore, a lying, thiefing piece of SHIT.
I just got back from a trip to the "Wild West",Arizona, New Mexico, Texas,Oklahoma,people were very nice, looks like a great place to live or retire to, can't say the same here. I say the wild west is actually the polite west, as in civil, thats people acting humanely towards each other.I don't see that type of behavior here and as a matter of fact, every time I leave this lousy city/state I wonder why the hell I ever came back.Some day soon I won't have to.
Acevdeo is a Twit. Just like the Gang Member ricky (Latin King) munoz. Two life time gang supporting elected idiots..May the feds indict the both of you . Hey monoz? How is your fathers illegal id making business on 26th street? Tell the english speaking world that your gang(the latinkings) charge street vendors a $500.00 per week street tax. How much of a kick back do you get. This would make a great undercover story aobut gang/political involvement..
Ignorant - equates to Eddie Acevedo
He by far is the "DUMBEST" politician in Illinois or for that matter the whole world. He never thinks before he speaks, but of course you need a brain to think and Eddie doesn't have one, so he talks out his ass. His rants will go on and on until he is defeated in his bid for Rep. The people living in his dist should vote him OUT.
Mental problems run rampant in the Acevedo family, Eddie is not a brain surgeon, by any means. Manny on the other hand attempted to arrest an Off Duty P/O for carrying a gun. To his surprize. his front teeth rolled like chicklets on the floor of the lounge and the ODPO then identified himself and peace was restored The whole family is dumb as a box of rocks, but these asshats still elect shitheads like him.
hes almost a hardcharger like tony "daley's my clout" munoz, right out of probation into the political machine. are these guys also making a police pension?
E.Acevedo the same guy that sued a p.o. for a bar incident and lost.
Has anyone else figured out that the Democrats arguments are rarely founded in reason, logic, and factual information? Knee-jerk, bleeding-heart nonsense is the by and large response in most situations by these people and their arguments are readily shot down by anyone possessing a third graders capacity for common sense.

I will agree on the moral grounds 100%, unfortunately, the supreme court does not agree and allows these gun restrictions to be upheld as 'constitutional'.
This is not an argument against the right to bear arms in its original form that is currently not being allowed, just a statement on the condition of things as they are currently.
"....just a statement on the condition of things as they are currently.

That is the 'catch 22', isn't it?
We depend upon the Federal Supreme Court to be immune to political influence and absolutely loyal to the principles enumerated in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, yet we know that this highest judicial body can only be composed of our fellow citizens, as in 'to err is human, to forgive, divine'.
So, we depend upon our Legislators NOT to create laws contrary to the above, depend upon our Executives NOT to create policies contrary to the above and our Judiciary to NOT uphold laws or policies contrary to the above.
The Executives of our governments, Federal, State, County and/or City, etc., are elected by the people, (at least by the people who bother to vote).
The Legislators of our governments, Federal, State, County and/or City are elected by the people.
The Judiciary, on the State, County and City levels, are elected by the people.
The Judiciary on the Federal level are appointed by the Executives on that level, subject to the approval/confirmation of the Legislators on that level.
Thus, the only branch of our various levels of governments whose members are not directly elected by the people is the Federal Judiciary, albeit these appointments must be approved by the Legislative branch after being proposed by the Executive branch, both branches' members being elected by the people.
The principles of our Constitution and Bill of Rights are meant to achieve a government 'Of the People, By the People and For the People' as a whole.
As we all have experienced, this ain't easy, nor is it automatic.
It depends upon the people being as dedicated to these principles as they expect those they elect to public office to be dedicated to these principles.
How can we hope to have from others what we are unwilling to expect from ourselves?
How can we expect to enjoy the potential freedoms of democracy if we are not essentially respectful of the freedoms we wish to enjoy being enjoyed by others?
How can we expect our desires to be satisfied at the expense of others not having their desires satisfied?
One person's concepts of 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness' often conflict with those of another.
That may be the essential cause of our 'current condition'.
We, as a people, may not be willing, as a whole, to 'live and let live'.
We get the quality of human being, as our elected government officials, as we choose to elect.
We, as a people, and a country, are only as smart, or as stupid, as we choose to be.
Democracy works only if the people do the work required to make it work.
When we, the people, do not do the work required, democracy doesn't work so well, effectively degrading into less desirable forms of governing.
We, the people, are truly where the buck stops.
We sleep in the beds we've made for ourselves.
We sleep in the beds we've made for ourselves.
