<br />
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants lawmakers to require that all handguns in Illinois be registered with the state, or gun owners could face felony charges. <br />
<br />
A statewide gun registry is key in helping solve Chicago crimes that involve handguns from outside the city, and would also help crack down on gun trafficking, Emanuel is expected to argue Thursday. <br />
<br />
Under Emanuel's proposal, handgun owners would have to pay $65 for a registration certificate from the state, which would function much like the title to a car. Illinois law currently requires that gun owners and shooters have a firearm owners identification card, which works like a drivers license. But the guns themselves are not registered at the state level. <br />
<br />
Emanuel is set to lay out his plan Thursday at a center for at-risk youth on Chicago's South Side, according to administration sources. <br />
<br />
The handgun registration certificate would include information about the owner, the make and model of the gun, as well as where and when the firearm was bought. Registratin[sic] applicants would also need a valid firearm owners identification card... <br />

"$65 for a registration certificate from the state, which would function much like the title to a car." <br />
<br />
Per gun??? Yikes! [1]<br />
<br />
<br />
According to the WBEZ article, "The registration certificate would last for five years, and cost $25 to renew."<br />
<br />
Yikes! Yikes!<br />
<br />
<br />
And if they get this toro caca set up in Illinois and it is used to solve just one crime, Rahm will be passing it along to his buddy Barack for implementation at the national level.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Emanuel is set to lay out his plan Thursday at a center for at-risk youth on Chicago's South Side, according to administration sources." <br />
<br />
I hear there are criminal gangs on Chicago's south side. Perhaps a few fully outfitted posses should attend to ensure justice prevails...<br />

If that idiot of a mayor things that will solve the gun problem I'm going to give birth to a elephant. The only thing in my opinion that would accomplish is the ability of the machine to come and get your guns if they get the urge. We all know what happens when you dis-armed society.

As we all know the criminals will be the first in line to register their illegal weapons <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':doh:' /> [/font][/size][/color]
