FWIW
Parts of the Chicago ward (South side)that Obama represented is a high crime area.
Has been since Chicago was founded.
Makes sense to me that he had to deal with a lot of folks that were anti gun. You just can't ignore folks that ask for that kind of legislation. And he didn't.
What you need to do is check into how much of that legislation was actually passed. Thats the only way you can claim gun bias.
Chicago did not bann guns like DC did


I live in the Chicagoland area. The Hyde Park area that Obama hails from is far safer than other parts of the city-particularly West and South. Obama has received a solid F rating from the NRA and ILA because of his voting record on anything having to do with firearms and is on record (you can look it up-I am not making it up here) for his opposition to the civilian ownership and use of firearms. This is a viewpoint which is diametrically in opposition to the 2nd ammendment. It matters not if the legislation passed, what does matter is how he voted on these issues and spoke about them, all on record of course.

Chicago has had a full handgun ban in effect since the Laurie Dann shootings in Winnetka (a Chicago suburb) in 1983. Since this time, the gangland shootings, violent assaults, and rapes have increased. There have been more shooting related deaths in the "handgun-free" killing fields of Chicago this current fall than the loss of life by our nations brave servicemen in Iraq.

I am sorry but I can firmly atest to gun bias by Obama, Mayor Richard M. Daley (the mayor of Chicago) and Rod Blagoevich (state governor who himself will probably see bars and the inside of a jail cell sometime soon following a grand jury indictment) Feel free to look up the positions of each one of these jokers.
