Twenty-Three Guns?

So aldercreature Burke was required to surrender all of his firearms after being charged in Federal Court as a condition of bail. Numerous readers note that twenty-three firearms from his office alone were turned in. No word on the ones at home. A number of readers have asked:
  • Will these count toward the yearly total that Rahm and Special Ed tout? Probably not - they were surrendered via a Federal Court order, so we doubt they end up on the media table for photographs.
  • Why does Burke, who sponsored or was a part of many dozens of anti-gun ordinances passed over the years, have a single gun let alone twenty-three? Seems kind of hypocritical, doesn't it?
We guess there is one set of rules for the "rulers" and another set for the "ruled." Now go back to your dangerous neighborhoods without your armed security escorts peasants!

He backed gun laws that kept the stupid sheep in in this city unarmed against the teenaged and 20 something predators that do exactly as they please now. Thank God the cities population is only 2.6 million now. Could you imagine the death toll if there were 3 or 3 and a half million people in this city? The jackals would murder 1,000 per year.

One news report said he had 40+ guns at his home the judge ordered him to surrender. I also read in another article that he lost his police detail when he stepped down as Finance Chair. I guess he had fewer Benjamins in his pocket.....

Burke had all the good guns; the general public the bad ones.
There's not a single rod in that collection that went for under $500.
Ya never know when you're gonna need a backup to a backup.
Oh yeah. German, Austrian (Glock), Italian, USA. The best of

Gun control has nothing to do with crime control.
Gun control is simply to reinforce the power monopoly of the state.

Citizen reader and long time opponent of the 50 thieves at City Hall. Hypocrite is exactly the word. It is like the liberal democrat left wants you and me to believe they care about people and believe in people friendly government. They are liars like the congresswoman from the Detroit area who wants to impeach that "motherfucker" Trump. That is one crusty, ugly, nasty face of today's woman. And what is especially irritating is the number of people who cheer her on. This is the same trash that will make laws to prevent law abiding people to possessing firearms for their personal protection but do not seem to apply to Burke. I bet you will find that each gun was not registered with the City when there were supposed to be either. This is a clown who flaunts the law and did so as Finance Chair approving taxpayer money payouts to shit heads when he should have been approving money to pay for litigation defending the city from aforementioned shit heads. Time for jail and I do not want to hear about his 50 years of public service. Bull shit. I still think there is a possibility if you follow the money you will find some pay off settlements leading back to his pocket. Just what I think, maybe not.

And you Liberal assholes clapped when Prickwinkle slapped a nickle a round tax on ammo in order to pay for her scams and gangster revival program at County Hospital. As if some gangster is going to walk into Cabela's with a FOID card. Even the Parkland massacre was caused by Democrat assholes like we have that the voters put in office.

These Jagoffs have destroyed this city and throughout History corrupt/evil Govt.'s first step has always been to disarm the citizenry, and of course we have the added threat of crime infestation.

Anybody else recall when Aldercritter Mel "forgot" to re-register his big collection of guns? The City Council under virulent Anti Gun Daley passed a "special amnesty" for 24 hours, to allow him to legally re-register them all. No one else was allowed in to register.

"Rules for three ... but not for me" applies here too.

Burke, despite his detractors' opinions of him, is smart enough to see over America's political horizon. Societal conflict is coming and lacking an arsenal is negligent. The real question is how much ammo did he stockpile? Any less than 500 rounds per firearm means he's a cheapskate.

The "fake" news originally said that Alderman Burke possesses 23 guns that he has to turn in. The story then changed to "they were recovered from his offices". I doubt if the Alderman stashed 23 guns at 51st and California, or in City Hall. He's armed with armed bodyguards. I could see one or two in the Ward Office, but come on. Anti Burke or Pro Burke, this makes no sense. Just my opinion. It looks good with the ex-cop thing and the Laquan Burger King though.

I wonder if this is the reason for the FBI second trip back to his office?
If they don’t get him on the racketeering, can 001 tactical worriers boost the ANOVs... just for some fast stats?

Forgotten is the recent ordinance (Safe Gun Policy) introduced by Rotten ‘Bathhouse’ Rahm & Ed ‘Hinky Dink’ Burke that was going to ban any bank from getting any Sanctuary City bidness that doesn’t agree with the city global gun policies and to those that keep doing business with firearm retailers across the nation.
Some would call the ordinance “leverage”.
Banks called the bluff and the proposal is in limbo.

In the land of no UUW felonies, affordable bonds and no jail the Elected like Rahm-Burke are looking for a money related solution (shakedown). Nothing about the feral shooters and penalties for their crimes.
Hope FEDS are checking into those banking industry campaign donor lists.

Hey Burke, before you get sent away, can you please,please,please right quick introduce an ordinance to add another star to the Chicago Flag to honor 44oz. burro-hussein obama?
It will certainly that the heat off your dilemma and highlight your cousins DanRyan rename prop.

One word looms large GREEDY, not a guy you would like to hang with, his motto is, "what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine" Read Carl Sandburg about Chicago or Nelson Algren, wrote: Chicago City on the Make. When I lived in the 24th. Ward 65 years ago All the power was in the hands of the Jews and the Irish Pols, every Judge in the Superior Court of Cook County was for sale. You could get away with murder if you had the cash and the clout. My uncle had the clout and on Friday night the Judges came to my grandmother's house to get their envelopes. I'm sure not much has changed they are much more careful and discreet now.

Do we remember when Shortshanks had to create a special grace period when Mell forgot to register his multiple guns? They want guns and want you disarmed. It is much easier for tyrants to suppress an unarmed populace. That is why our Founding Fathers put the Second Amendment right behind the First Amendment. You must be able to defend that freedom of speech with arms.

Don't like Burke, but lets look at a few things.
Yes, he is a gun collector, I'll bet with his interest in History he probably has some Capone era guns.
Yeah, he was a force behind many promotions, some good, some bad.
He was active in CPD history and even helped write a book about CPD history.
Was a prime force behind the police memorial ( remember Cline makes $160,000 for a part time job).
Was supportive of the charity that furnished grave markers for deceased policemen the city forgot.
Also lets not forget the 100 club where he was very helpful
Chicago Aldermen can carry a weapon, been like this for a hundred years.
Been retired a while now, but I never heard of him selling a promotion, unlike many other aldermen. Mine wanted $5000.

There is always someone willing to buy them and there is always those that can be bought. Why do you think they spend millions to get elected to jobs that pay thousands? 50 aldermen = 50 thieves, add in all the other elected officials and the citizens, peons, fools are soon parted from there money but they will vote them in again and again and again.

Take the serial numbers and provide them to ATF,they can check to see where the original point of retail sale was and who the buyer was on the 4473 form. The manufacturer must retain records of the business they sold the firearm to and the retail biz must record every sale in an A&D book since the 1968 GCA was made law,before that you're out of luck. Now have the FBI ask that buyer how they wound up in Burkes' possession.I bet some interesting names pop up.
Oh they were a gift ? A gift for what reason ? Do you understand it's a crime when you lie to the FBI ? Can we get you a bottle of water.. or perhaps some toilet paper ?

Nope, and he probably doesn't have to sell them to pay his defense bill so I say let his wife be the keeper of his collection until he gets out of prison in 15-20 years. He won't need them where he'll be going . Carol ( Moron) Marin can suck ass with her exasperating faux outrage at "guns". Her and her ilk are leftist progressive scum. They can look at a jar filled with piss and asparagus and call it a work of art, but not see a rifle as a beautifully crafted wood & iron / steel piece of history.
