> toughest gun control measures in the country and 2013 is already off
> to a horrible start. We're only five days into the New Year and the
> Windy City has seen five murders. One horrific murder was of a

> in the back and killed.
>
> A revered Chicago muffler shop owner became the city's fifth homicide
> of 2013, but not before calling his son to let him know he was shot,
> MyFoxChicago.com reported.
>
> "They shot me in the back," Michael Kozel, 57, the owner Independent
> Muffler Shop in the city's Southwest Side, told his adult son. Those
> were his last words he said.
>
> The son, who wished to remain anonymous, said he raced to his dad's
> shop, only to find Kozel in the back of an ambulance. Kozel was
> pronounced dead shortly after 9 p.m., according to the Cook County
> Medical Examiner's office.
>
> Investigators say two men pretending to be customers walked into the
> shop Wednesday at about 5:25 p.m. The men attempted to rob Kozel and
> one of his employees. One of the robbers shot Kozel in the back, as he
> was trying to get to safety.
>
> Kozel's son said his father was a very generous person. He said if
> you didn't have money to pay for the work on your car, he was the kind
> of person that would just work out some kind of deal for you, because
> he understood that's how people were.
>
> "My dad would fix the car and say, 'I'll see you in a month.' What
> shop does that in Chicago these days?" his son said.
>
> Kozel and his wife were married for more than three decades.
>
> "He had a lot of plans to travel — wherever my mom wanted to go," the
> son said. "As long as it was with my mom, and it made her happy."
>
> This comes as the Illinois legislature pushes for even more unhelpful
> gun control measures that will only create more defenseless victims
> for violent criminals to prey on.
>
>
> Illinois Senate Democrats advanced legislation late Wednesday to
> restrict semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity magazines, pressing
> forward with new gun control measures in the waning days of the
> session over the objections of firearms groups.
>
> Amid the developments, the Illinois State Rifle Association issued an
> "urgent alert" to its members warning them that Democratic legislators
> were trying to push through last-minute anti-gun legislation.
>
> "There would be no exemptions and no grandfathering," the group stated
> in its alert. "You would have a very short window to turn in your guns
> to the state police and avoid prosecution."
>
> A Senate committee approved two bills, one dealing with the weapons
> and the other with magazines. Democratic supporters could face a tough
> sell in the full Senate.
>
> One measure would ban the possession, delivery, sale and transfer of
> semiautomatic handguns and rifles. People who currently own such
> weapons could keep them but would have to register them. The bill
> would allow semiautomatic weapons to be used at shooting ranges, but
> those facilities would be regulated.

> They just don't get it.
