Chicago ordered to pay NRA’s legal expenses
The Washington Times reports that the court has ordered the city of Chicago to pay the National Rifle Association’s legal costs in a recent case;
The NRA had challenged a Chicago law banning gun sales within the city limits that a federal court ruled unconstitutional in January.
Chicago also paid the NRA $600,000 in legal fees following the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 2010 ruling that the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms applies to the states.
And they still haven’t learned with their unnecessarily complex attempt at restructuring their laws so no one will ever be able to comply with the new rules. But, hey, it’s only taxpayer money, right?

Good. Maybe when the taxpayers have had enough of Rhambo and the gun grabbers blowing their money on legal fees from losing on stupid legal shit, they will vote them out.
C’mon. Chicago. I bet they just double down on stupid.
Nah, they’ll go “triple dog dare-you” on this shit… and lose! It’s the Chi-ton way…
I am afraid that they are too far gone in Chitcago. The dumbass chief of police is calling for more gun control. They have the strictest laws in the country and it is now working now. Time to arm the citizens.
Why do I think NRA HDQ is going to receive a dead fish? I bet Rahm is madder than that German gamer kid. Fuck him. I hope the NRA uses that money to fund some good pro 2nd candidates. Maybe they could spend it on an awareness ad campaign to advise tourists about Chitown. That 2nd city blog makes a good case for it.
It’s Chicago, where enough dead people, homeless, and registered house pets have voted demo-rat for decades to keep electing whoever their mafia and special interest groups want in orifice. If the unions and the Chicago Mafia want him reelected, it’ll happen.
Oh, you should get your news about Chitown first hand, too. They’ve got 6 hours to do the morning news, from 4AM to 10AM and only three of those hours are actually devoted to the news. The rest is given over to their over-40 clown reporters dressing up and acting like complete idiots whenver they get the chance.

The only bummer about this link is that you can’t get the TV shows or the antenna TV channel online.
But it does let you keep up with the goings-on in Chitown, wherever you on on this planet.
The most reprehensible part is that the Mayre Rahmadamadam literally does not give a crap about the south side, so the good neighborhoods on the south side are slowly being eroded into gang territory. Never used to see the bad stuff from any place but the projects. Now it’s creeping into peaceful places like Maywood, South Shores and Bridgeview, and I’m just waiting for a report from Skokie, now.
This should be a Feel-Good Story!
Seems to me as much gun violence as there is in Chicago, guns should be easy to come by. I mean just wait for the next shooting and scavenge the guy fallen for weapons and ammo. But then again, they are the law breaking criminals. Not the legal citizens wanting guns to defend home, hearth and family. Those folks are the ones the Chicago political machine are after. They are law abiding and if you can get a “turn in your weapons” law passed, they are the only ones who would even consider complying. I really don’t understand Chicago and maybe someone Chitown savvy could help me understand. Now I know there are lots of criminals and gang types. Lots of cities have those. But are the Chicago police understaffed, disinterested in controlling and stopping the real criminals and source of illegal weapons? What is going on that makes an otherwise beautiful city seem so outgunned, out manned and out witted, when it comes to crime? Is it blatant turning their heads from the criminals who they don’t pursue to instead go after law abiding gun owners with a hatred? Why do they think, they can control guns, legal or illegal anyway? It has never worked because criminals are criminals because they live outside the laws of society and do as they please. Why can they not make a concerted effort to stop the gang activity and known criminal elements and leave the law abiding folks to defend themselves when need be? I guess I am missing the big picture here somewhere. It just seems Chicago is in the news for crime, more than other large cities by a disproportionate amount.
With the caveat that this is a Chicago cop blog (and thus perhaps not completely objective on the subject of Chicago police), Second City Cop offers some insights into goings on in Shitcago. Good, if disturbing and angry-making reading.

Crappy police leadership and an undermanned force, a mayor from the 0bama camp, political correctness (e.g. flashmobs rampaging in upscale areas such as the Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, etc but always described merely as “youths” and an apparently official policy of not arresting or breaking them up, but basically providing a police escort instead — which must burn the hell out of the cops), take your pick.
It’d be even worse if the powers that be weren’t actively skewing statistics by doing things such as declaring a gagged and strangled body as “unknown cause of death” rather than homicide.
Damage done. Mission successful.
They got to implement unlawful shit without punishment. They’ll do it again.
My grandparents were born born and raised in Chicago. I can totally understand why they picked up and moved to Colorado in the 40s. Thank God.
