Victory!

The nutshell is that SKS rifles, in their original configuration, are registerable.

Just wondering, but what about a SKS w/bayonet?
Wouldn't Cook Co. ban still cover that, or would Chicago's home rule trump it?

Yes, bayonet is allowed.  And Cook Cty ban does not apply to Chicago due to home rule, as you suggest.

Beautiful.  For once, Chicago's home rule works to OUR advantage. :rolleyes:

Thats great!  now how about an AR with a california bullet button!

& Way to go FF!!!


I think without question an AR platform with the silly California bullet button should be the next step in the process.  Every inch in our favor is a victory...keep pushing.

I think you need to start lurking in the backs of court rooms even on cases you're not invloved in.  All the Madigans and her ilk will start to get paranoid about looking foolish again when they see you.

Nice job, by the way.

Does anyone have the same problem I have? Good news in one suit makes me impatient for good news in all the other suits.

It does get addicting - especially for those who've been in withdrawal for decades.

Just want to know that I love the work you've done, even though I don't live in your state.  Anything to help keep their kind on the defensive instead of the offensive will force them to place their resources in the same place.  Between people like you and the big dogs like Gura, you'll be living in the United States again after all!

Great work, all!

I love this part:

Quote

The City objected to the presence of the rifles and the City witnesses declined to examine the subject rifles.  City’s objection was overruled.

Quote

The City witness, Officer Biggins, contends that the subject rifles have the capability of accepting a detachable magazine with a flick of a sharp object or a bullet without structural changes to the weapon.  Officer Biggins testified that “the process” does not allow him to demonstrate this potential alteration to the subject weapons.

Yep, it's Real easy to do.....he just doesn't know how to do it.:lol:

Congrats on the win FF.:headbang1:

This ruling is HUGE and goes way beyond just a few SKS's since it basically allows anything to become registrable in it's original unmodified form.

let SCC know what happened with the hearing, i'm sure they will have some good fun with the city attorneys and Chicago cops that were involved with this.....
"The Obama administration: Erasing the line between satire and reality since January 20, 2009″

When the 2006 losses first happened, I heard a lot of GOPers say, "Good! A couple of terms of Democrats in power, and they'll overreach! Then we can pick up the pieces." I thought that's stupid; it's like burning down the house so you can remodel with the insurance money. Well, willy-nilly, the structure's definitely ablaze, a 5-alarm barnburner. Those GOPers who wanted total destruction have almost got what they want. I for one just hope we still have something to repair and rebuild once the flames are out. Six years of democratic centralism is an ugly thing to contemplate.

I already commented on Facebook, but excellent job as always! I too may have to get an SKS. I hear they are decently accurate and ammo is cheap.

I beg to differ.  People like Mr. & Mrs. FF, Mr. McDonald, Ms. Shepard and Mr. Moore *are* the big dogs.

to stand up and the fight the system to right the wrongs,
all the lawyers in the world can do nothing.

David Lawson's lawyer, Joel Brodsky, is going to be on nranews.com in 2 minutes from now!

Post Script: Joel did a good job. Afterwards, Cam says that Chicago's laws are so bad you have to fight TO register your firearms, instead of fighting against registration.
