"This is all about guns, and that's why the crusade is on," Daley said. "We hope to get their cooperation in Springfield."
Daley declined to completely dismiss the idea, saying all ideas for quelling violence should be entertained, but he also noted a host of complicated issues that would ensue if the Guard were called in.
"You put them on for a weekend, without ammunition?" he asked. "Think of the repercussions you have to look at. … A fully automatic weapon?"
Mayor Richard Daley was cool to the idea of sending the National Guard to patrol Chicago’s streets - chicagotribune.com
