The Chicago Sun times reports Daley’s Police Superintendent wants first responders to know who has legally owned firearms before the first responders enter a home.
Briefly quoting the Sun Times news item:
“‘We want to know who has weapons so that first responders can be aware of that information before they enter a home,’” said Police Supt. Jody Weis at a news conference.”
First, a typical police officer will go a long time before he runs up against a person who legally owns a gun and misuses it. The legally owned guns are not the problem, Weis. The hundred thousand plus stolen guns floating around Chicago’s underworld are the problem. So Weis’ jugheaded insistance that first responders should know where the legally owned guns are is the height of something and it is not smarts.
Second, when lives are at state, any delay at all could be a fatal delay. The extra time Shortshanks, Weis, and Co., want to take to determine where the legally owned guns are could very well cost far more that Weis wants to pay. Up to and including his own life.
All of SW&Co’s gun control tomfoolery is no more or less than harassment. An attempt to discourage law abiding citizens from exercising their human right to defend themselves against criminal aggression. And that is something that no police officer should aid or abet.

I don’t think this is ignorance–rather “If you have a gun, there will be consequences like us taking our own sweet time before we come do our jobs”
