Jeckler Posted February 18, 2012 at 04:08 AM Posted February 18, 2012 at 04:08 AM They just aired a segment that was essentially pro-gun. They interviewed a woman in Chicago who had shot and killed an intruder in her home with a handgun. No reference to whether the gun was registered. They had Sen Dan Kotowski speaking against HB148 in the segment. However, the over all slant of the segment came across pro-gun. That's the Chicago mainstream media airing a pro-gun segment. Wow, we have made a lot of progress.
vezpa Posted February 18, 2012 at 04:25 AM Posted February 18, 2012 at 04:25 AM Lulling you into thinking they are pro-gun..... Probably getting ready to drop some type of anti-2nd bomb on us any minute.
NakPPI Posted February 18, 2012 at 04:47 AM Posted February 18, 2012 at 04:47 AM Linky Linky Sounds like they are pimping the Logan Square town hall to me.
Buzzard Posted February 18, 2012 at 05:17 AM Posted February 18, 2012 at 05:17 AM Illinois state Sen. Dan Kotowski, D-Mount Prospect, says the state needs a better plan to protect citizens on the street from handgun violence. “I was held up at gunpoint, and so I know a lot of people have been impacted,” he says. “But that being said, we need to have a balanced, reasonable approach.” No thanks, Senator. I want to have something with a LOT more stopping power than a "balanced, reasonable approach” to defend myself with. Something like a .45 ACP 230gr. Federal Hydra-Shok is more to my liking.
Molly B. Posted February 18, 2012 at 05:26 AM Posted February 18, 2012 at 05:26 AM This was a great segment interviewing Radie, who will be one of our speakers Monday evening at the Logan Square Auditorium. I tell you for sure, with this balanced presentation on Chicago TV news, there are snowflakes in Hades this day!!This is one of the things that causes me to believe we are making headway in Chicago!
tom Posted February 18, 2012 at 01:52 PM Posted February 18, 2012 at 01:52 PM Yeah but did you hear the senators response? Loaded concealed handgun"Word for word from his buddy quinn...
Mr. Fife Posted February 18, 2012 at 01:55 PM Posted February 18, 2012 at 01:55 PM Nowhere in HB148 does it state that Kotowski would be required to carry a loaded concealed handgun. He can just keep carrying his wallet like he has done in the past.
Jeffrey Posted February 18, 2012 at 02:10 PM Posted February 18, 2012 at 02:10 PM He was held at gun point and is looking for a balanced approach. Balanced would be that the victim also had a gun, IMO. If he was quoted stating needing a balanced approach, this could group with the other thread from the Rahmfather talking about good law abiding citizens.

He can have his "balanced reasonable (made up)" approach to self defense as soon as all the gang-bangers sign on. He should've told his assailant "it's illegal for you to have that gun. Hand it to me, and I'll destroy it for you". Let's see how well that works for him... But instead, he just keeps trying to disarm the victims.
kurt555gs Posted February 18, 2012 at 03:54 PM Posted February 18, 2012 at 03:54 PM Many politicians only care if statics look good for them. In this self centered view a woman defending her life with a gun is the same as a car jacker shooting a motorist. They both go down in the "gun violence" category. This doesn't look good in the polls. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
billzfx4 Posted February 18, 2012 at 06:04 PM Posted February 18, 2012 at 06:04 PM Maybe a more balanced and reasonable approach would to to ban people fom carrying wallets. If nobody has a wallet, there would be no reason for criminals to hold people up at gun point to rob them of it.
Patriots & Tyrants Posted February 18, 2012 at 11:44 PM Posted February 18, 2012 at 11:44 PM Pro 2a coverage from the mains stream media? something is a miss...
boomersand Posted February 20, 2012 at 08:23 PM Posted February 20, 2012 at 08:23 PM I think its hilarious that even though he was held up at gun point, as a true democrat would, he feels sorry for that person that was forced to try and steal other peoples money to support his drug habit, and therefore all guns should be outlawed.
