The old guy is not being charged with a crime. The city and the cops as a whole are in this guys corner. The supreme court will more than likely overturn the gun ban, even Mayor Daley acknowledges this. The thread is bordering on trollville.

Chicago instituted the handgun ban in 1982 and Daley has steadfastly defended it at all costs despite it's unconstitutionality.
Painting him as being resigned to it's overturn is a lie at best.

Daley has seen the writing on the wall. I'll take your apology now

A reporter asked the obvious question: Given the numbers of shootings in the city, isn't the handgun ban ineffective?
The question was more than fair. In Chicago, the only people who are confident in their 2nd Amendment rights to bear arms are the criminals, the cops and the politicians.
Law-abiding citizens can't own handguns. They don't have an army of bodyguards, as does Daley. Political hacks have guns. They get out the vote for his machine.
And the retired neighbor who's never been arrested in his life? Oh, no. If he has a gun, it would be anarchy in the streets, according to Daley.
Confronted with a logical question, here's what the mayor did: He picked up a rifle from the prop table of guns, raised it and began to babble.
"It's been very effective," said Daley of the handgun ban. "If I put this up your butt, you'll find out how effective it is. Let me put a round up your, you know."
The mayor of Chicago then went on to say if the justices were attacked by thugs with guns, they'd see things his way.
"Maybe they'll see the light of day," Daley said. "Maybe one of them will have an incident, and they'll change their mind overnight, going to and from work."
I'll break it down for you.
At the press conference Daley threatened a reporter who questioned the effectiveness of the ban with a rifle shot up the a**and day dreamt about supreme court justices having violence visited upon them for striking down his pet law.
These surreal behaviours hardly indicate that Daley "has seen the writing on the wall"
