from their real problems ... which is failing cities and states.

The real problem is that these corrupt government officials refuse to attack the root causes of crime, mainly because they're criminals themelves. It's easier and cheaper to enact more gun laws that only affect citizens who aren't commiting any crimes to begin with.from their real problems ... which is failing cities and states.

Yes. The Little Rock Nine.
I'll be there, Trent.....just got a call from Don at ISRA last night with my bus confirmation code. Trying to get my all-talk/no action gun friends to go....but you know how that goes.We sure are living in interesting times.
The Chicago / States Attorney stance is really disheartening.
At first I was angry, now I'm not so sure. It's actually more of a feeling of .. can't put my finger on it. Feels more like hardened determination.
We're so close, but so far.
Maybe I'll sort it out in a couple weeks.
We have 12,000+ (angry) gun owners marching on Springfield at the IGOLD rally.
Everyone hemming and hawing about them ignoring the Supreme Court might be in for a rude awakening in a few years. Wait until Comrade President puts in another Justice or two and then a few more gun control cases go against us. Will we then be so adamant about states following SCOTUS rulings?
If a cop arrests you in violation of your federal constitutional rights, you sue under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 ("Every person who . . . subjects . . . any citizen of the United States . . . to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law . . . ."). You bring this suit in federal court, and there are no limits on damages.Deer_Freak said:The thing about the whole deal is most states have a limit that one can receive in a civil suit against any government entity including the police. The city of Chicago knows they will only pay a few civil cases they maximum limit the state allows. Wheeling WV is doing the same thing for open carry. The only successful suit against Wheeling was brought about by a plaintiff that is an attorney. Chicago will use the courts to their advantage to play the same game.
Clearly you don't follow Chicago legal matters.The city of Chicago knows they will only pay a few civil cases they maximum limit the state allows.
