“A federal judge Tuesday granted the city the six months Mayor Rahm Emanuel said it needs to figure out where to allow gun shops in Chicago,” suntimes.com reports. “U.S. District Court Judge Edmond Chang said his decision balances the needs of the city to craft regulations with the public’s Second Amendment rights.” ‘Cause it’s really, really hard to figure out how to regulate private business selling legal products to legal buyers, legally. “After Tuesday’s brief hearing, [City attorney Andrew] Worseck told reporters he’s confident six months will be sufficient for the city to come up with rules regulating the sale of guns within Chicago.” What was that about a right delayed? Without delay, here’s Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s reaction to the ruling . . .
On Tuesday, Emanuel thanked the judge for giving the city more time to develop, what he hopes will be some of the “strictest regulations” in the nation on where gun shops can be located. But he once again refused to identify those areas.
“I have a different view as it relates to the court and their view on guns and access. But I decided to ask for that six months because I didn’t want to leave the decision about Chicago’s public safety to the courts,” he said.
“We’re going to take it in our own hands, chart our own course…in a way that does not undermine what our community groups, our Police Department and our after-school programs are trying to do to protect our city, our children and our neighborhoods. We’ll do it in a way that…lives within the straitjacket the court put us in, but does not undermine what…all of us are trying to do day-in and day-out.”
Straitjacket? This guy’s nuts. Or crazy like a fox.
Well I knew they would find 1 judge who has no problem violating the constitution.
ARs have become the equivalent of Barbie Dolls for men. You can dress them up any way you want or just display them. Or you can load them up with do much crap they are to heavy to carry or accurately shoot.

Not a fan of Striker Fired guns..I am a SIG fan…but I am not a fan of BRAND new SIG designs because they have a realy poor track record on new designs…they work after a year or two but first batch seems to be a mess….so torn…damn
“The word for what Rahm wants isn’t regulate: it’s restrict.”
Change restrict to dominate, as in complete domination.
I like it 3k is not too bad for this. quality costs and you won’t see one ever 10 feet. I would consider this a long term investment . When i went looking for a 1911 i held the Wilson Combat and all the sudden everything else was crap. When the economy picks up Super grade here i come ,you too Korth
Hopefully these won’t have all the issues the P250 has had that caused it to be rejected by several large law enforcement organizations after it was tested due to reliability problems.
Rahm needs time to have one of his big donors line up the lease on the locations for the only FFL’s in the city so they can kick $$$ back to him. Follow the money.
Glad to see this item. I think the big win for this, as for the Blaser, should come from guys who want a sheep- or elk-hunting mountain gun in .270 or 7mm magnum. Light weight plus future caliber options should make them sell.
If I owned a shop that was outside the Chicago city limits, I would set up a shuttle system so law abiding Chicago residents could actually shop for firearms. I’d register it as a tour bus but give out tickets for free. At least until they changed the laws to make that illegal.
And all the gun shop owners in a 150 mile radius of Chicago cried out “Sweet! More sales to come to our stores.”
Because you suck. And we hate you.

What I wanna’ know is how the flying fuck he got hold of a shotgun in the first place. I might sensing some measure of complacency somewhere with the boy’s family.
What happens in Vegas….gets splashed all over the innerwebz.
The main appeal of this ammo was supposed to be the weight. Did you measure how it compares to regular .308 rounds with the same-weight bullets?
This is a joke, right? Right?
Any one that continues to live there is a moron. Why would u choose to live in a state like this?

// rejecting all firearms regulation whatsoever … we risk alienating the American mainstream //
One can legitimately ask whether compromising a bit might not get you more in the long run. I used to think it might, but changed my mind after seeing State-level legislation last year.
What some of the more inane State laws passed last year taught me beyond reasonable doubt is that once a State runs out of “reasonable” regulations, it proceeds to enact insane ones. A 7-round magazine limit is inane. Confiscating lever guns with tubular magazines holding over five .22lr rounds (NYC) is crazy. No semi-autos with detachable magazines is ridiculous. It didn’t start out that way in those places, but they ran out of “reasonable” stuff and they still needed to keep “doing something”, and so they did. Just watch MA this year, and you’ll see more of that.
So, it could be that not compromising on the UBC’s or something in 2013 will look like a mistake a few years down the line, but you know what, compromising would set us on the well-trod road to perdition, so perhaps we may as well lose our rights sooner but fighting against encroachments than lose them a little bit later, but acting like sheep all along. And who knows, maybe we won’t fare too badly after all.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose.
I agree with them on this to a degree. Repeated and sustained saturation of their deeds in the news is what a lot of these psychotic pussies seem to be obsessed with in most cases. They want to become infamous.
We must deny them this. It will just be one more thing to give them pause. Well, at least until Congress, all 50 states, every single country in all 50 states, and all cities and villages therein, finally get their shit together and stop denying law-abiding citizens their natural, civil, fundamental, and Constitutionally-affirmed and protected right to keep and bear arms.
