Edward McClelland said:
Coincidentally, the Second Amendment Foundation announced yesterday that it will lead the appeal of a U.S. District Court decision upholding Illinois’s ban on conceal carry. Thanks to the Chicago treasury, its lawyers will have more money to pursue that case.

"Illinois is probably our single biggest battleground right now," said the foundation's executive director, Alan Gottlieb.

Now that smarts! And its for fees.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants state handgun registry.

ETA: Commenting here rather than among 365 others, wag the dog much, Rahm being the tail end on a dog.

It would be so cool if the powers-that-be in Springfield, IL, would simply retort: "If Rahm Emmanuel wants the state to do something, perhaps he should be something more than just a mayor."

The anti-gun left will never get the big picture, it's a good thing we have the constitution on our side.... maybe our founders were onto something here?

Chicago must be rolling in taxpayer funds. Here they offer a $6.2 million settlement on a police arrest case.

Yeah, it's easy for the government to spend other people's money. That's like me telling everyone I come across that I'll give them $20 and getting the money from my neighbor. I'd be arrested.

And the 6.2 Million figure was BEFORE THE LAWYERS FEES WERE ADDED. WOO-HOO! Perhaps the First Amendment is alive and well in Chicago after all.... :banana:
