According to His very High-ness Richard Daley, cops in Chicago face a threat from a new type of gun (New at least to me), the Semi-Fully Automatic Weapon.

“Many times [the police are] outgunned, to be very frank,” Daley said at an event in the Englewood neighborhood. “When they come to a scene, someone has a semi-fully-automatic weapon, and you have a little pistol, uh, good luck.”

In a way, I think I am gonna miss him. It is not every day you find such level of idiocy emanating from the head of a major city.

Mayor Richard M. Daley wants the ban to remain in place. He says local officials need flexibility to decide how best to protect their communities.

“We have the right for health and safety to pass reasonable laws dealing with the protection and health of the people of the city of Chicago,” Daley said.

He also said the rollback of the city’s handgun ban could lead to further erosion of legislation having to do with guns.
