Chicago ordered to pay NRA’s court costs

by Jonn Lilyea••29

This morning we read from the Washington Times that a federal court has ordered the City of Chicago to pay nearly a million dollars for the court costs of the National Rifle Association;

The NRA had challenged a Chicago law banning gun sales within the city limits that a federal court ruled unconstitutional in January.

The Times says that this is the second time that the demand has been made on the city.

It seems to me that the city’s confiscated funds from taxpayers might be better spent on actually fighting against criminals rather than fighting to take rights away from the few remaining law abiding citizens.

But, it’s easier to write new laws than it is to enforce the old ones. That’s how legislators keep their jobs.

  2. I feel bad for the rest of the State since they are going to be the ones footing the bill for this.

  4. I wonder just what stunts the Rahm Emanuel Mafia running that burg will pull to try and welch out of that? If Gun Control Laws prevented violence, Chicago would be like Mayberry.

  5. They’ll pay that legal bill about the same time Bernath pays all the legal judgments against him.

  6. Chicago will appeal, appeal, appeal until they owe the NRA millions more. As long as there are gullible people who still choose to live in that cesspool, they have a steady stream of funding. I wonder what % living there actually have a job and pay taxes?

    1. 66% of males 61% of females according to the US census (2014)

      (I have to pull these kinds of stats all the time for papers)

      1. Those figures are actually a little above the National average. Reliability? Who knows.

      2. Meh, dildocats always want as many of their minions dependent on them as they can have, it keeps them on the taxpayer-funded gravy train.

        1. sad thing is with abundant evidence supporting that and the wealth of opportunities to get so much more with honest effort, so many settle for the scraps thrown to them by libtards ….FFS…look around and grab the brass ring.

  7. There are moments like this where Karma just makes me smile for hours….

  8. Ah, Chicago. The cesspool that spat out the Glorious Leader! I’m sure they’ll comply immediately.

      1. More like “Oozed out…” like pus from a zit not unlike the Clintons oozing out of Arkansas.

        3. I would like to apologize on behalf of my state for giving the rest of the world The Clintons, Wal Mart, and Tyson Chicken. In our defense we didn’t force you to take them.

          1. Wal Mart And Tyson Chicken are all right, but TO HELL with the Clintons.

  9. Awesome. This in Chicago. SAFE Act being ignored in New York. Totally enjoying being on the winning side of a few battles.

    1. I’m sure Rahm & Company will wiggle around about it like maggots eating roadkill.

  13. What a silly waste of taxpayer $$. Maybe this will be a lesson to other entities to stop blaming the NRA for stupid stuff.

    Yeah, yeah. Not likely, but it COULD happen. At least in a few places. Maybe.

    1. And take the one major bad guy out of the liberal left’s cross hairs? Never. NRA is a quantifiable”evil entity”, unlike criminals, the mentally defective, terrorists, and the like. Liberals will always seek the easy answer to their problems.
