23. Cleveland seems to be taking advice from Chicago?

Rahm is still writing 7figure checks to the SAF and ISRA lawyers and still trying to fight gun stores and ranges in the city limits.

After all, it's not like the millions of $ they have to fork over to the SAF and NRA for legal fees comes out of their own pocket? IIRC Cleveland already lost to the Buckeye Firearms Association once on this and concealed carry a few years back and had to pay off.

So they keep doing the same thing, that even the head of the Cleveland City Council admits will have; "no real impact of crime and violence, but it's important to let people know where we stand".

Throw a few million bucks of taxpayer money to the lawyers of the other side then tell the voters "you tried. but those mean guys in the state capitol won't let me protect you."

Like I said, it's not their money anyway, so why not?

Of course ... if the voters figure out they are being use as patsies, it won't go well and then they can blame the evil NRA for being kicked out of office. Even if the NRA has nothing to do with the lawsuit.
