Quote of the Day
The nation’s oldest gun violence prevention organization, Brady: United Against Gun Violence, is celebrating Mayor Brandon Johnson signing an executive order to establish responsible procurement standards for firearms purchased by city agencies in Chicago. The executive order addresses a shocking national problem, exposed by a Brady investigation, that law enforcement agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars buying firearms from dealers and manufacturers with repeated violations of federal firearm regulations.

Brady Celebrates Chicago Mayor’s Executive Order… | Brady United
Dear Brady, I think it is wonderful that you are celebrating over this. Please continue celebrating every small victory… while you still can find them.
Next July tens of millions of gun owners will be celebrating our big win with SCOTUS ending all bans on semi-automatic rifles.
I guess low bid contracting goes out the window.
Well done Chicago!
The actual executive order is pretty comical. It basically tells Chicago agencies to work only with sellers who obey Federal regulations. Well, duh. Presumably they do already, or they would be in jail by now.
Just virtue signaling, no real substance there. Which makes sense, given that the Brady bunch is involved.
That it what went through my mind, too. My guess is Brady is triggered by minor paperwork errors.
