$399,950 check for legal fees makes Rahm a big gun rights contributor [View all]

On February 1st the City of Chicago cut their first check for $399,950 to the Second Amendment Foundation for partial payment for the legal bills in the McDonald v. Chicago case. That probably makes Rahm and Chicago one of the bigger contributors to gun rights in the country. How's that for irony?

Just too bad Daley isn't paying anything out of his own pocket. He's gone but the taxpayers will be paying for his stubborn approach for years to come.

Now, Oak Park that was all "Gung Ho" to participate in the lawsuit, claims that tight budgets prevent them from paying any portion of the legal fees. Maybe the SAF can just take a few libraries, fire trucks or police cars as partial payment?

You can see the check here:

Sorry, I wasn't able to copy and paste the picture for some reason. Maybe someone else with better skillz can cut and paste it.
