Coordinated Attack Against The Constitution: Chicago Marchers Urge Obama To Come Home To Address Gun Violence, Jesse Jackson Calls For DHS To Patrol The Streets Of Chicago

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson and relatives of victims of fatal shootings in Chicago urged President Barack Obama on Saturday to come back to his hometown and address the gun violence plaguing the city. 

Before a march on the city’s South Side, Jackson, a former Democratic presidential candidate, said America’s third most populous city needed more help than Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police superintendent Garry McCarthy could offer.

AND THEN THERE'S THAT PUSSY, BLOOMBERG:

Bloomberg To Run Anti-Gun Commercials During The Super Bowl

NEW YORK (AP) — A gun control group founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is airing an advertisement during the Super Bowl calling for background checks. 

The 30-second spot by Mayors Against Illegal Guns will air in the Washington area during the third quarter of the game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. 

The ad calls on lawmakers to pass rules requiring background checks on guns. It is narrated by children, with “America the Beautiful” playing in the background. 

It includes decades-old footage of National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre saying the gun lobby group approves of the checks. 

LaPierre recently testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the NRA no longer supports background checks for all gun sales. 

A Bloomsberg spokesman would say only that the ad cost in the six-figure range. 

Mayors Against Illegal Guns is a coalition of more than 800 mayors from 44 states.
