4. Wow, another court loss for Chicago. Just put that on the mayor's legal tab please.
At last count, following the loss of McDonald and Ezell, the costs were up to around $5 million they had to pay out to the plaintiffs (Gura, ISRA, NRA et. al.)

I wonder how much this will add to the total? How much longer before Rahm realizes Daley had a sick and twisted obsession and he's still paying for it with a shrinking city budget?

It's worth reading the court decision too. Apparently Chicago tried to keep the guns in question (4 SKS rifles) completely out of the courtroom as evidence, then claimed that with; "the flick of a sharp instrument or bullet they can be converted to accept large magazines. But the City's expert witness declined to demonstrate for the court how that could be done." Just trust him, would a Chicago witness lie to you?

How is that any different from claiming that no shotguns should be sold, because they may be sawed off at some point. Chicago the home of pre-crime justice.
