Emanuel’s plan (HB 5831), which cleared the Executive Committee in the Illinois House on February 29th, institutes a licensing system for all guns in the state. Every gun owner would have to pay a hefty 65 dollar registration fee every five years for each weapon they own. Chicago already has such a gun registry, but the state of Illinois only requires that gun owners register themselves and not every weapon they own.
Emanuel’s move is a bit slicker than Daley’s, as he is intent on just making it more and more difficult and costly to have a legal weapon. Nothing has changed, though. In the end, Rahm and Richard just want you to give up your rights without a fight – and help bail the state out of their mountainous debt problem to boot.

they are restricting and violating the movement of law-abiding people with excessive taxations and unconstitutional ordinances to compensate for lack of their ability to generate revenue…..
Hey Joe,
Do you see yourself writing about The Outfit again in the near future? I know I saw a post from you a while back saying you were going to write more about Chicago politics but even those have been few and far between and like this one…not very thought interesting. I still have your site book marked on all of my mobile devices and laptop and check daily just hoping for a new Outfit article. Quite honestly, that’s all I’m interested in on this site. I can’t tell you enough how much I once loved this site and all of the commentators which you’ve seemed to also have lost.
So, will you be writing Outfit articles? If so, when? Or, should I just scrap this site from my daily checklist?
If you decide to join the other THREE people who are no longer allowed to comment here, it is fine by me.
Dear Joe,
Who, if you do not mind me asking, are the three that were banned? I thought it was just one.
The Don, Black Angelo and SQE.
Dear Barb,
Those other 3 commenters include SQE (your accuracy is off); SQE did not ‘contribute too much information about the Outfit’. The Don and Angelo lacked credibility by incorrectly reporting that Marco is ‘made’ (not to mention the nonsense that Joe Lombardi is ‘made’ lol).
None of my sources deny that Marco is an arch criminal, but he is not ‘made’. It really does not matter because Marco basically (falsely) established that he was ‘made’ (as far as the government is concerned) when he plead guilty.
Tosto did not stop harassing me. Every day that his slanderous videos remain intact for his small number of viewers to review, I feel harassed.
Those ‘guys’ did not leave (Don and Angelo), I banned them for reasons that include the fact that their obsession with a delusion that Marco is ‘made’ was too much bunk for me to stomach. I banned SQE because her sick compulsion with attractive murder victims is pathetic (presuming Anthony is deceased).
Thank you for your readership and blog participation.
85% (or more) of what BA or the Don had to say could have been extracted from the many books written about the Chicago Outfit. Why would anyone be banned for giving up too much information??
Great points!
Joe
Have you ever committed a crime? Not that I am asking you to admit to anything specific but have you ever been involved in any sort of nefarious activity either directly or indirectly related to the period of time which you were an outfit groupie. Just curious is all.
Dear Gus,
I wish to start by thanking you for your interest in my good and hard work here at ANP. I appreciate your interest. However, I am going to respectfully decline to answer your question. I think that whether my answer is yes or no, it could cause additional questions (not necessarily from you) that I would rather not spend time discussing for multiple reasons. Again, thank you for your interest. Please keep supporting ANP by spending time here.
