It looks like good old " Freedom loving" Chicago is at again. After losing the Handgun ban and the state of Illinois allowing CCW. Chicago wants to ban all guns and ammo within a 1,000 feet of schools including any building or park in that radius.

What you've linked to is a members-only site; but the gyst of the portion that IS printed only talks about stiff fines for weapons offenses -- not gun-free zones.
\The ordinance, which the mayor intends to introduce Wednesday to the City Council, would create new “school safety zones.” Anyone convicted of possessing a gun, ammunition or another “dangerous weapon” in a zone would face a fine of $1,000 to $5,000 for the first offense and a mandatory 30 days in jail.
A second offense would carry a fine of $5,000 to $15,000 and a mandatory three months in jail.
A third offense would carry a fine of $10,000 to $20,000 and a mandatory six-month jail term.
works fine for me and I'm not a member.
Here is snippet.

It's more then just a fine.
I wonder how they think those gang bangers are going to pay those fines. :rofl

Actually this is a dangerous thing if you are gun supporter. The list will grow to include parks and then churches, and in a city like mine that would effectively ban all guns in most of the city because you cannot throw a stick without being within 1000 feet of a park or church or school. Pretty sure it would never happen in my state or city, but it really is part of the incremental strategy.
That said, I do see the left taking the same incremental approach toward guns as the right is toward abortion so I do find some amusing karma parallels in it.
The report also states that people with CCW will not be affected by the new ordinance.
Yeah, that will help for sure.... all those gangers and thugs who aren't obeying the gun laws and don't-murder-people-laws NOW will SURELY obey the new gun-free-zone laws!
:lamo :lamo
I don't know whether to laugh or cry...

Yeah, we'd better ban protesting, privacy, cars, and the consumption of alcohol within 10 miles of schools too.That's a nice start but it should be extended to at least 10 miles.
Vandermyde said anyone who obtains a concealed-carry permit in the future would be exempt from the ordinance. That would leave criminals who have not obtained their guns legally, he said.

Only if they involve gun carriers.
I get why my fellow Chicagoan's might be bothered by this (If they didn't read what the NRA guy said), but why do people from other states and cities care at all?
Here's the bit I found interesting:
So according to Vandermyde, the ****ing NRA's lobbyist, we have a gun law being proposed that can only punish criminals, and the response is to oppose the law? How ****ing retarded is that? Seriously, don't give that guy a gun, he'll blow off a toe.
