City of Chicago Ordered to Pay NRA's Legal Fees -
Again
Monday, July 07, 2014
$1.5 Million and Counting – The Taxpayer’s
Burden of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s and the City of Chicago’s Refusal to Recognize Second Amendment Rights.
Fairfax, Va. – The
United States District Court in the Northern District of Illinois has ordered
the City of Chicago
to reimburse $940,000 in legal expenses incurred by the NRA. The NRA had
challenged Chicago's ban on gun sales within
city limits in Benson v. City of Chicago.
The Benson case was consolidated into Illinois Association of Firearm Retailers
v. City of Chicago and that case challenged five aspects of Chicago's law: (1)
the ban on any form of carriage; (2) the ban on gun stores; (3) the ban on
firing ranges; (4) the ban on self-defense in garages, porches, and yards; and
(5) the ban on keeping more than one gun in an operable state.
This is the second time that the City of Chicago has been ordered
to reimburse legal fees in a suit sponsored by the NRA. The first was following
the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago in which Chicago
was ordered to reimburse the NRA more than $600,000.
