Could the requirement to register now be challenged in court?
The registry was a key piece of Daley's new gun control platform after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the city's handgun ban in June. The mayor said it would help protect first responders by letting them know what kind of situation they might encounter when they responded to home calls.
I watched a show about Alaska State Troopers and one of the points the troopers made was: 'This is Alaska - it isn't like the lower 48. Everyone has a knife, everyone has a gun, and they know how to use them.' So, troopers simply assume that 1) everyone is armed and 2) they know how to use their weapon. They seem to get by just fine. In fact, to me at least, that seems like the ideal way to handle any law enforcement situation - always assumed that the person you're dealing with is armed. I fail to see why that doesn't work for Chicago.The mayor said it would help protect first responders by letting them know what kind of situation they might encounter when they responded to home calls.

You forgot one:Puffyfish said:He has guns, his bodyguards have guns,
Exactly. Because we all know that if the registry says no guns at the house, there will be no guns there!
