"Unlicensed Gun Dealer"

It really amazes me the way politicians “dance around” to keep from calling something what it is. In this case they call the CRIMINAL who sold the gun that killed a cop an “unlicensed gun dealer.” One of the guns he sold was a Glock 26 9 mm handgun, that ended up in the hands of a four-time felon who used it in February to kill Chicago police Cmdr. Paul Bauer in a shocking daylight shooting in the heart of the Loop, according to recently filed federal documents. It’s the same thing when they insist we call an “illegal alien” an “undocumented immigrant,” thus DEcriminalizing (they hope) the crime that illegal alien committed in entering this country illegally. Of course, the Chicago cops emphasized the fact that the gun used in killing this cop “came from out of state.” Forget that ALL guns, legal or illegal, “come from out of state” unless the manufacturer is IN that state. It’s a “fact without significance.” They talk about “how easy and lucrative” illegal gun sales can be, while masking the action with that “good sounding” phrase, “unlicensed gun dealer.” They refuse to see that NONE of their anti-gun fool laws touch this criminal because they only seem to apply to the law-abiding. This criminal was under their view, but he succeeded in selling this gun to a felon, anyway. (Chicago Tribune)
