Rahm Loses Again
- People younger than 18 have a Second Amendment right to target practice, with adult supervision. Broad bans on the location of firing ranges are unconstitutional. On these points, all three judges of a 7th Circuit panel agree, in the newly decided Ezell II.
Released Wednesday, Ezell II held that:
Chicago may not prohibit all persons under 18 from entering licensed firing ranges.
Chicago may not constrict firing ranges to a tiny sliver of the city.
The opinion of the court was written by Judge Diane Sykes, joined by Judge Michael Kanne. Judge Ilana Rovner concurred in part and dissented in part. She agreed with the above two points but construed them more narrowly than did the majority.
And no doubt, Rahm will be sending another chunk of taxpayer money to Alan Gura and David Sigale, who represented the plaintiffs in this case, for yet another classic overreach.

I feel that Rahm's world is starting to fall apart. Hopefully, tomorrow will begin his worries 100 fold.
:) now parents can safely show their children gun safety and all can have somewhere to safely fire guns. And not up in the air on New Years Eve!
What does Rahm care? It isn't his money. Do you think the Alderthieves care? They "did something." Ain't none of them getting unelected for passing unconstitutional laws.
Maybe when Jeff Sessions has someone convicted of deprivation of civil rights under 42 USC 1983 they will take the US Constitution seriously?
Judge Sykes is on Trump's short list for the Supreme Court vacancy
Rahm couldn't care less about the money....it's not actually his money.
That asshole pisses through our taxpayers money like he's a drunken sailor.
Thank goodness for the NRA!
I'm sending them another $20!
By the way, FUCK YOU, RAHM!
David Sigale is a great guy doing important work. Thanks to him and Alan Gura.
Cook county and Chicago is run by rights stealing dictators.
Hopefully, Rahm will realize that federal government sponsored liberal insanity ends today.
Sykes is indeed reportedly on Trumps list for a Supreme seat. I personally find her an attractive proposition for the bench. I do not agree with all of her decisions that I have read but that is okay too as long as she demonstrates obvious reasoning and applications of our laws in them. Thank god there is court oversight of Rahm or can you believe how worse living in this city and others would be?
The streets of Chicago are a firing range.
I disagree. Rahm wins again.
As others have commented, he has unlimited taxpayer funds to appeal and appeal. Meanwhile nothing changes until the next appeal is heard which will take years to be heard. in the meantime, he gets his way.
When are the bloodied taxpayers going to take up pitchforks and torches and remove that twerp from office, STOP throwing away tax monies...
Pretty soon suppressors/silencers will be legal here....its coming!!!
Short barreled rifles,CCW,soon to be suppressors and now this!! Great times.The machine is slowly crumbling.
These anti 2nd amendment pols need to be examined for mental illness and removed from office. You keep wasting our tax dollars to fight a fight you keep losing. Sounds like crazy to me.
EUGE middle finger to the tiny guy with the tight dancing ballerina pants!!!
Just stand there and pick your nose with that nub!!! You'll get more done.!!

Jeff Sessions will not be convicting anyone under 42 USC 1983. This is a civil statute.
This is wonderful news. Now maybe the thugs and gangbangers will learn some pistol handling skills and get some practice in so that their accuracy improves.
more tax payers money wasted trying to violate our rights. But hey lets defend illegals
There is also a bill before the house to totally defund sanctuary cities,counties,etc. "Not one cent!" It's time to restore the rule of law. These subversive pinko bastards are in sore need of a lesson taught.
Also, lets not forget that this is an Olympic sport. One of the coppers has a daughter involved in this shooting sport. Has lots of awards.
I don't like this nine finger cocksucker in any why, but he is getting fucked up politically and will probably lose the reelection. But my problem in this jagoff losing the reelection is who's going to be replacing stupid. I've told every retiree who still is registered in Chicago to come back and vote against this prick. The illegals vote in our election, so why can't we when no one gives a fuck any why.
D.C's Mayor's arrogance brought us the Heller Decision. Daley's arrogance (he even admitted he was likely to lose) brought us the McDonald decision. Madigan's arrogance gave us a Federal Court Ordered concealed carry law. Rahm's arrogance gave us this most recent win. These are all solid cases that set precedent. Thnk you libtards.
How much of our money are we going to allow this little asshole to piss away? When he chooses to fight an unlawful ordinance he should pay out of his own pocket.
to Anon above:
Second Amendment Foundation ( and ISRA) did the lawsuit, and they can really put the money to good use. Thank You :)
Pack your bags, Rahmmie the Commie. America is back, and you and your Sock Puppets ain't part of it. AMF.
It would be nice to have the court suspend their qualified immunity and make them personally responsible for the next round of unconstitutional laws those weasels pass.
Maybe the court costs too. I'd like to see Rahm and the aldercritters whining and have to split up the $2 or $3 million in legal fees.

Sean Hannity keeps pushing President Trump to keep his promises, With rahm completely disobeying federal law against the will of the people and even stealing taxpayers rebate money and giving that to illegal invaders for lawyers, as rahm laughingly took away money from police retirees whose side is he on? Obviously the criminals.
On another note wtf bad move Illinois elected goofs avoiding the Presidential Trump inauguration, think he will not forget? Big disgrace Bruce you and danny lipinski, plus mike quiqley had the balls to give away 50 tickets for the inauguration sending the students but the cowardly punk move he did not go with them!
Illinois elected keep pandering to the thugs and illegal invaders, the criminal element is totally respected by these wastes of office, they bastardize the police with their pet 24/7 dishonest media don't know what President Trump is planning but you can the crime and criminal conduct is on his list for an early strike by Jeff sessions pro=police federal officers!
At what point is Chicago just laundering tax monies into yet another special interest pocket in order to keep right on laundering tax money right into their other special interest pocketbooks?
At what point to do people tire of this foolishness?
Suits from now on have to target the people themselves so THEIR pocketbooks get tagged instead of the taxpayers pockets getting picked.
Just think, all that loot going to SAF could have been better used to PAY COPS to like police the city!
Surprised to see CPD cops support guns and right to carry. My entire department(except the armore) hates every CCL citizen in this state and will arrest if its not 100% concealed, make my blood boil.
When Rahm Loses, his Friends make money.
When Rahm Wins, Taxpayers lose money.
Today marks the end of Funding to Corrupt Chicago's Sanctuary.
Hooray for DJT-45 !
Send in the DOJ and seize City Hall Dept. of Finance.
First day for great President Trump first agenda on White House page:
The Trump Administration is committed to reducing violent crime. In 2015, homicides increased by 17% in America’s fifty largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. There were thousands of shootings in Chicago last year alone.

Hope he changes things soon citizens first law and order lets hope something is done quickly in this out of control crime fest!

Doesn't matter he still has the 18 milion he "earned" somehow for some reason from the banking industry after leaving clintons staff.
Is He is illegally using tax money to fund illegal immigrants ?
That is a slap in the face to President Donald J. Trump .
Remember when Gov.Elvis Blago pimped slapped the last President , how did that work out ?
Tutu is as powerful as a fart in a sewage treatment facility, his power is gone .
Rhamo is just an ASSHOLE and will never change!!!
And Why???
He just loves being an ASSHOLE!!!
>>>> My entire department(except the armore) hates every CCL citizen in this state and will arrest if its not 100% concealed, make my blood boil.
Illinois law says concealed or mostly concealed.
1/20/2017 04:28:00 PM
That's one thing Illinois got right, our ccl law is very permissive when it comes to such things. Stating-"carry a loaded or unloaded concealed firearm, fully
concealed or partially concealed, on or about his or her
person;".
Ballerina unable to keep the rich that visit LSD Magnificent Mile and Downtown Theater District free from crime and protestors he should be forced or resign .
Where are the Steve Patton Comments?

Fuck you, Rahm Emanuel you little sociopathic suburbanite!

Yep! Used over a million of taxpayers rebate money to fund lawyers to protect illegal criminals wouldn't that be fraud?
In the other legal rounds, the City picked up the tab for Oak Lawn. Oak Lawn thought the case was a waste of money and didn't want to play. But the City got them on board by agreeing to pick up their legal bills.
And since the City lost, it also had to pay the other sides' bills.
Total somewhere in the range of $15M
Add who knows how much this is to the total.

What really can Trump or the Federal Government do? Urban street crime is a local problem. To be addressed by local authourities.
In Chicago (and other Democratic enclaves) the crime control process has broken down. Either due to the Ferguson Effect or starving the locals of resources.
In Chicago the problem is compounded by a criminal justice apparatus that has rolled over and gone fetal.
County Board does not want to put people in jail. Having them fill the morgue doesn't seem to be an issue. Some people really need to be in prison.
Judges don't want to hear cases. That might mean a they would have to work a little more than 15 hours a week.
The States Attorneys have lost the people that knew how to put bad people in prison. The scholarship kids don't know and don't want to know.
The Feds could prosecute felons for gun crimes, to be sure. But the local structure really needs to get on the ball.
Surprised to see CPD cops support guns and right to carry. My entire department(except the armore) hates every CCL citizen in this state and will arrest if its not 100% concealed, make my blood boil.
@@@@@@ its a shame your department is like that. they probably have only one gun and hate carrying it!! They should just carry pepper spray and a baton like a mall cop! Ps you could never have "to many guns"! haha be safe out there

Stay off of the blog Rahm. I don't know about the bossholes, but the majority of street cops are pro 2nd Amendment. They know the 2nd keeps the likes of you, and the criminal element at bay.
Next up, is getting national concealed carry passed by Congress and signed by Trump. When out of state citizens who work in Chicago can lawfully carry, it will truely be a great day. That will be another stick up Rahm's ass.
Ps you could never have "to many guns"! haha be safe out there

LOL. You know the saying, "if you know how many guns you have, you don't have enough" is true.
""Surprised to see CPD cops support guns and right to carry. My entire department(except the armore) hates every CCL citizen in this state and will arrest if its not 100% concealed, make my blood boil""
Thats cause we see WHO it is actually doing the crime instead of riding around writing traffic tickets all night.

Remember that song "were you born an asshole"?
Well Rahm WAS born an asshole AND he's worked at it his whole life too.
Just got this in my mail today : SB 50, the bill that would allow the legalization of suppressors (silencers) in Illinois is coming up for consideration as early as Tuesday January 24th. Call your state senator (mine is Martin Sandoval 217 782 5304) and tell them you support this bill!
CCL is here to stay for law abiding citizens.Criminals will always have guns no matter what !!!!! I hope Trump shakes the DOJ upside down . Law and Order now!!!!

I seem to recall that it is a $200 Fee to the BATF to get authorized and then there is the cost of the threading and the suppressor.
And depending on the barrel length of your pistol, you might need a new barrel.

Illinois legal definition of concealed...A loaded or unloaded handgun carried on or about a person completely or MOSTLY concealed from view of the public.
Care to mention what Dept. you speak of that is obviously violating peoples rights ? The NRA,ISRA and our pro 2-A people will be glad to look into these false arrests and U.S.1983 violations.Oh by the way the 83 violations are usually directed at the individual Officer and dept. So keep doing the dirty work for your masters but don't expect any sympathy when your attorney explains "motion to discover assets"to you. We the forgotten deplorables have a new QB in DC and intend to take our rights back starting now. There are only 02 sides here and you support the bill of rights or are a traitor hiding behind a button,pick a side brother.
Retired (Star & 02 bars) and instructing firearms.
