The recording of Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy claiming that lawful firearm owners are agents of political corruption has been made public - listen below.
McCarthy, who spoke with Bill Cameron on WLS AM 890 last Sunday, expressed his conviction that firearms owners who lobby their elected representatives or who donate money to political campaigns are engaged in corruption that endangers public safety. He also went on to express his belief that judges and legislators should rely on public opinion polls - rather than the law - when interpreting the Constitution.
After dismissing the citizen's right to redress grievances, McCarthy took aim at the 2nd Amendment, opining that it limits citizens to owning smooth-bore muskets and supports mandatory liability insurance for firearm owners as well as the mandatory application of GPS tracking devices to civilian owned firearms.
