Mayor Daley vs US Gun Industry
The circus still hasn't left Chi-town...

Mayor Daley is trying to open a new front against the U.S. gun industry -- at the World Court in the Hague
Bill Cameron, WLS News, 27 Apr 2010
Since the Mayor's getting very little done in Springfield or Washington or in the courts to expand gun control, now he wants mayors in other countries like Mexico to drag American gunmakers into the World Court in the Hague.
Daley says, "We are shipping guns there by the truckload to people to kill each other. They're not manufactured there. And we want the drugs that come from other countries that is a conduit, like a highway through Mexico, into the United States! And we sit like we have no responsibility. We should not ship any guns to Mexico."
I asked the Mayor what legal authority there is to sue the U.S. gun industry in the World Court. He said, "Well, that's why we have about 12 million lawyers. You never know until you try."
Backing up Daley is Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, one of more than a dozen mayors -- including the Mayor of Mexico City -- who signed a resolution to pursue this tactic.
