Fearful that America’s Supreme Court will soon strike down Chicago’s handgun ban, frustrated by the Illinois legislature’s rejection of his anti-gun agenda, and repudiated by American courts and legislatures over his plan to sue federally licensed manufacturers and dealers of firearms for third-party crimes, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley (D) is showing contempt for his own country’s and state’s institutions, by seeking a foreign entity to enforce his anti-gun agenda against the American people.
This week, Daley called for “redress against the gun industry” in the World Court, in The Hague, Netherlands. Forgetting or not caring who his constituents are, Daley blurted “This is coming from international mayors. They’re saying, ‘We’re tired of your guns, America.’”
Daley’s global gun control fantasy received the endorsement of Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter (D), whose enthusiasm for international law is apparently matched by his novel interpretation of the United States Constitution. “I love the Second Amendment,” Nutter recently said, but “I have a First Amendment right not to be shot.” Nutter’s utterly ignorant statement proves that in our country, you can be elected to public office while knowing remarkably little about the Bill of Rights. Nutter acknowledged that the Daley’s scheme is a “long shot.” But, he said, “you never know until you try,” adding “The political establishment in many state capitals—and certainly in Washington [is] so deathly afraid of the NRA that people cannot make the right decision for their own constituents.”

A "First Amendment right to not get shot."?????? It would be impossible to make this retard look any stupider. He obviously doesn't even know what rights the First Amendment protects or he would be against it.
As for the line,“The political establishment in many state capitals—and certainly in Washington [is] so deathly afraid of the NRA that people cannot make the right decision for their own constituents.”,somebody needs to slap this bozo up side his melon and splain to him that politicians are elected TO FOLLOW THE US CONSTITUTION AND THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE,NOT make our decisions for us. Personally,I find it insulting that somebody this stupid even thinks he is qualified to make decisions for people who didn't ride the short bus to school with him. If you want to know what is wrong with America,these two mayors are prime examples. Just think,they were picked to be the intellectual leadership in the cities they rule,and picked by the people who live in those cities. How freaking stupid can their voters be,if they admire these cretins and look to them for leadership?
