Two Takes on Guns

Top cop Garry McCarthy likens federal gun laws to ‘racism’ - Chicago Sun-Times: "“I want you to connect one more dot on that chain of African-American history in this country, aTwnd tell me if I’m crazy: Federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms into our urban centers, across this country, that are killing black and brown children,” he said according to an WMAQ-Channel 5 story that aired Thursday."

"18.362 Exemption for firearms. Every citizen of this state above the age of 16 years shall be entitled to have, hold and keep, for the own use and defense of the citizen and shall have exempt from execution one rifle or shotgun and one pistol. The combined value of all firearms claimed as exempt under this section may not exceed $1,000."
