Ban on those evil muzzle brakes

Cook County (Chicago), Illinois has passed a ban on weapons that look like assault weapons. It’s a rather stupid law that now adds muzzle brakes to the list of evil features. So, your Browning you use for deer with a vented muzzle device is an assault weapon you can get at Wal-Mart. And it seems to have an SKS provision as the magazine requirements don’t require them to be detachable.

    I wish meteors would flatten chicago.

    In County Cook, you never know. It may be that one commissioner has just acquired a stock of FN-49s or M1 Garands that he wants to boost the price of. Or, gun dealers just did not come up with enough “campaign contributions” fast enough in the time the ordinance was being considered. What? You don’t believe a Cook County Commissioner would ever propose legislation just to be “persuaded” out of it by a sufficiently convincing “counterargument”?

    P.S. Doesn’t Mannlicher make a bolt action with a thumbhole stock?

    P.P.S. U.S. Attorney Fitzgerald is cleaning house and he has two more years to do it. We can only hope.

    Chicago has a long history of organised crime influence in government. This latest move is consistent with that. I just wonder: How bad does it have to get before the perpetrators are brought to justice? That’s the Big Question, isn’t it? How bad?

    As much as the state government in Wisconsin and the city government in Milwaukee have moved to the left, I’m still glad I moved out of Chicago. When the opportunity to move arose, my wee wifey pointed to the mayor’s hoplophobia as the deciding factor.

    This does ont suprise me when it comes to the cities and mayors. They are nothing more than anti gun, business, and liberty. They will see that their population will decline and ther crime rise. New York, D.C., and Chiagco will become crime capitols all to themselves.

    Some group of anti-rights bigots must have some boiler-plate that they pass out. I looked at the text of the cook county AWB and is has so many features in common with other attempted AWB’s. It is not locally grown garbage.

  8. beerslurpy Says:

    But these people dont know anything about guns. It is just political grandstanding. To actually redo the research would be a complete waste of time, since the law isnt meant to have any effect on crime whatsoever. It’s just a way to harass gun owners. Since their jobs are completely safe (this is chicago, remember) they can pretty much pass whatever they want with impunity.

  9. Heartless Libertarian Says:

    BTW, the muzzle brake thing is in the pistol section as well, which will snag a bunch of those IPSC raceguns.

    Major crime problem, those IPSC guys.

    Geezer:

    The anti-gun-owner crowd has a whole legal non-profit org that disseminates anti-gun-owner laws and volunteers to help defend them once enacted.

    The org is called The Legal Community Against Violence (LCAV)

    Here is their Model so-called “Assault weapons ban”

    Here is their Model “total handgun ban.”

    Mayor Daley would be stood against a wall offered a cigarette and a blindfold and then given his earned payment for his actions, if there were justice as prescribed by the constitution.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
