If you haven&#8217;t seen the video, <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2011\/06\/sucking-up-to-father-pfleger.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I posted it here<\/a> a couple of days ago.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>ISRA URGENT ALERT: NEW CHICAGO POLICE SUPERINTENDENT LAUNCHES ATTACK AGAINST LAW-ABIDING FIREARM OWNERS<\/p>\n<p>\nFellow Law-Abiding Firearm Owners: <\/p>\n<p>As many of you may already know, Chicago\u2019s new police superintendant, Gerry McCarthy, recently delivered an address on the topic of gun control to the parishioners of Fr. Pfleger\u2019s St. Sabina\u2019s Church. For those of you who have not seen the video of McCarthy\u2019s address, you may find it at this link: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xIX4j2sormY&amp;feature=player_embedded <\/p>\n<p>Certainly, none of us would expect McCarthy to discuss how traditional gun control policies seek to disarm law-abiding citizens while ignoring violent criminals. Likewise, we wouldn\u2019t expect to hear McCarthy place the blame for violent crime on a justice system that woefully fails to apprehend, convict and rehabilitate society\u2019s most dangerous elements. No, we\u2019d never expect to hear McCarthy utter the truth about one of the most contentious issues of the day. <\/p>\n<p>As much as we wouldn\u2019t expect to hear McCarthy speak in opposition to gun control, it is equally certain that few of us were prepared to hear what actually came from McCarthy\u2019s mouth when he spoke to the St. Sabina\u2019s congregation. After several minutes of gratuitous self-promotion, McCarthy launched into a racially-charged tirade in which he accused the NRA and law-abiding gun owners of participating in a government-sponsored program to kill Black people. <\/p>\n<p>Like most of you, we believe an assertion such as McCarthy\u2019s is too nutty to dignify with a response. But listening to McCarthy\u2019s rant causes us to pause and ponder the Chicago Police Department\u2019s own record on race relations. Furthermore, given McCarthy\u2019s background, would any of the readers venture a guess as to who McCarthy blames for crime and violence when he\u2019s safe at home among his family and personal friends? <\/p>\n<p>Gerry McCarthy\u2019s verbal attack on law-abiding citizens serves as an affront to law-enforcement officers everywhere. But, then again, any suggestion that McCarthy is a law-enforcement officer is a sham. Rather, McCarthy is merely another in a long line of political hacks who have resided in the office of police superintendant. McCarthy\u2019s job description has nothing to do with law-enforcement and everything to do with enforcing the political agenda of his boss, Rahm Emanuel. Of course, as we know, Emanuel\u2019s agenda seeks the eventual prohibition of private firearm ownership. <\/p>\n<p>Probably the most ironic thing about McCarthy\u2019s speech to St. Sabina\u2019s parishioners is that McCarthy delivered his address while standing only a few feet away from Rev. Mike Pfleger. Let us not forget that, a few years ago, Pfleger urged attendees at a gun control rally to go out and murder gun shop owners and politicians who vote against gun control laws. <\/p>\n<p>McCarthy\u2019s speech at St. Sabina\u2019s is a mere preview of what law-abiding firearm owners can expect out of the Emanuel administration in the months ahead. Watch the video of McCarthy\u2019s performance at St. Sabina\u2019s and you will see what we\u2019re up against. And, as always, we really need your financial support to help contain and defeat the Emanuel Gun Grabbing Machine. So, once you\u2019ve watched the video, please make a generous donation to the ISRA so that Emanuel\u2019s dream of a gun-free Illinois doesn\u2019t wind up becoming your nightmare. <\/p>\n<p>Also, please pass this alert on to your friends and relatives. Be sure to post this alert to any and all Internet blogs and bulletin boards to which you belong. <\/p>\n<p>Remember, gun control is a disease and you are the cure. <\/p>\n<p>Sincerely, <\/p>\n<p>Richard A.
