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!

How many guns did Dick (My daughter loves to hit cops)Mell have ?
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
the best. What about the ammo stockpile? Hollow points,
armour piercing. What about the doomsday stockpile of toilet
paper, Kleenex, Tide Pods, paper towels, bar soap?
Had a good laugh at the pic of him with his gold badge on his belt with a Sneeky Pete holster right next to it. This asshole was above the law. He was a greedy piece of shit. Hope he loses everything.
Any assault rifles or pistols with extended magazines?
Do as I command! Not as I do! (said in best Wizard of Oz voice)...
Count them as 23 crime guns once Special Ed gets them! Every gun the department takes in is a crime gun! Ask Ed!!!!!
Gun control has nothing to do with crime control.
Gun control is simply to reinforce the power monopoly of the state.
Armed peasants make rulers uneasy.
One gun for each day he spent as a police officer?
23 guns that the honorable alderman removed from the streets by talking down gang members. He just didn't find time to turn them over to the CPD because he was overwhelmed with city council business. Or some other version of BS that will be pitched by his lawyers.
How many guns does Munoz have?
Come on! You never heard of the traditional and ceremonial 14th Ward twenty-three gun salute? It's a south side thing.
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.
Any copper who thinks fucking the Law Abiding citizens of 2nd amendment rights is as big an asshole as Burke is. Anyone of you who buys any of their bullshit is a fool.
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.
He is getting ready for a invasion!
I don’t think he jumped on the anti-gun bandwagon the way you think. He was a recreational shooter.
ALL politicians are HYPOCRITES. Do as I say not as I do.
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.
Why does he have those guns in a office downtown???
Do as I say, not as I do! Enjoy club fed you old hack.
I cannot understand or agree with the judges order to turn in all of your firearms. It makes no sense to me.
I still wonder why he has not been stripped of that police star he wears conspicuously on the right side of his belt.
A living example of a hypocrite, pure and simple.
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.

Nothing's shaking on Shakedown Street. Not.
A lot of very nervous Democrats right now. I hope they all go to prison.
Since Burke is done, what will the Vaneks do? Mark was "given" his promotion. Will Amanda and Mark have to earn their next one? I doubt she really "earned" her promotion. Mark was an ignorant and arrogant fucker from day one.
I remember back in 1982 when this cocksucker stood on the council floor and turned beet red with anger and passion while advocating for Jane Byrne's handgun freeze. I have loathed the son of a bitch ever since. Fuck him good and hard.
Seriously? Does anyone really believe that these assholes follow the law? They are ALL hypocrites. Pelosi, Obama, Clinton, Feinstein, all those elite dems LIVE behind walls and have 24 hr. security along with armed bodyguards. And yet, all of us other "common folk" can't have a damn wall between the US and Drugixco? Illegixco? I hope he goes away for a long, long time along with that wretched Preckstinkle.
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.

The same as shanks, he can well-afford hiring and personally paying for a security detail. With any amount of luck, shanks will soon be dis-afforded a city-supplied security detail, also. I look forward to the day.
Did they take away guns ,drugs,phony ID making equipment from that domestic battery offender?
A Man never hits a women , does not apply to all .
Hey the poor guy works in a bad neighborhood and deals with a criminal element the other 49 alderthieves.
Typical do as I say scenario.
This old criminal has been running roughshod over the honest citizens of Chicago for as long as I can remember going back to the early 80's. Council Wars, payoffs, bribes, pay-to-play you name it.
I would like to see him, along with his Springfield democrat buddies Madigan and Cullerton, all in one big cell.
Like every other liberal turd Democrat who has a wall around their house but don’t want one for the country
Typical liberal. Calls for gun control and taking guns out of hands of the citizens, but then has his own guns. Like the left who hire armed bodyguards, but dont want the citizen who cannot afford bodyguards to have their own guns. Preckwinkle, Obama, Rham, Kimmy Fox, Dickie Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, etc., all anti gun, but make sure they have armed bodyguards!!!!
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.
I bet Ann Burke has an extensive collection herself.
F!U! both rotting corpses!
Rott under the jail and may they rename it after the Burkes for recieving the longest term in the history of federal sentencing!
1,000 years! Consecutively!
All Democrats are Communists Says
All Democrats are Hypocrites
All Democrats are Communistsp
Includes three smoothbore muskets and a blunderbuss. Seriously.
The fact that politicians are able to own guns but yet still able vote against the average citizen owning one is EXACTLY the reason why people should own them IMHO !
Sort of like Stalin or Hitler saying, "No guns allowed, I will protect you."

That's not a police star. Aldermen have their own stars.
If they arrested you or me with 23 guns, the media would describe it as "an arsenal"
rb
All these weapons and he had his own security force. Unbelievable.
Corruption has no party Republican or Democrat put either party in charge for 100 years and you get the same results, "Chicago"
Put your faith in the Republicans and watch how long it takes for them to act like Democrats. There is to much money to be made selling your soul to pass up. 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.

No one group of people could do as much harm as the Aldermen,
They are responsible for the mess that Chicago is in.
They did that without firing a shot.
The guns were in a big safe in his City Hall office.

Agreed.
I wouldn't believe ANYTHING that came out of ANY major "news" outlet.

He never did anything without profiting from it.
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 ?

As a SWAT team with air support hit your house,your children were taken away and the feds announced they stopped a terrorist plot. Not easy being a gun owner pal.

Sounds like Burkes Duty weapons when he graduated the academy...He should have retired. He would have beaten all that trouble and screwed the taxpayers on a double pension.

Pretty sure City Hall is a gun free zone for CCL. More politician hypocrisy.
carol moron on shitcago tonight couple nites ago gave him a pass on the corruption as small taters but was freaking out saying 23 guns, 23 guns, thats an arsenal! the freaks on her panel all nodded in agreement. then she streched her arms out wide and repeated a few times that 4 of them were long guns! yuck! icky! omg! i grew up in the 50s in a house full of guns and kids like most of our neighbors. i would like to see virtually all illinois pols sent to guantanamo to be waterboarded and cornholled for life. but not for owning guns. for destroying the fabfic of life and economic stability of the only place ive ever called home. if i was rich with the same interest in history i would probably have 123 guns from the civil war thru afganistan and maybe one old wheel gun with a single bullet in my top pocket. how far weve come since ww2. guns, police, military, all bad. rappers, bangers and kommies good. let burke keep his guns and take everything else. its restorative justice after all.
To 0&:28 am. I refuse to buy ANYTHING at Cabela's in Hoffman Estates or any Dick's Sporting Goods store for the very reason of the firearms/ammunition tax and, in particular, for Dick's refusal to sell semi-automatic rifles/carbines that "look mean."
Did Burke jack the Burger King dude with his collection of roscoes? 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. God help us if more of these douche bags have their way.
Most of Burke’s guns were in display cases and were antiques. How’s that for a spin cycle
Did Burke have any weapons that are banned in the county or city?
I'm sure Eddy will surrender all his guns to his wife the judge and she will take good care of them.
Bathhouse boys are all going down.. Burke, Emanuel,Rowan, etc.. this is going be interesting to see what transpires over the next few weeks..
