Chicago's Unsafe Gun List

[Mgderf]

DAISEY!?

Are they joking?
About a year ago I bought a used Daisey Red-Ryder on Gunbroker for a nephew.

The idiot that sold it demanded it be shipped to an FFL holder, "because this could be a "deadly weapon" and I'm not going to be called into court for selling it without it being "transfered" through a licensed gun dealer".

To this day, my FFL dealer gets a kick out of telling folks that I have a "deadly weapon".

I guess that dip-stick was ahead of the curve. He wasn't even from Chicago!

Again as far as DAISY goes. There was a spur trigger single action revolver called a DAISY. I doubt they are referring to a bb gun.

So what makes a Walther P22 unsafe?? The one I didnt see on there was "homemade" So if a smart criminal makes one and gets caught he wont get that extra charge!

I like how Chicago Firearms Co. is also on the list, kind of ironic isn't it.

P22 made me I'd call it "safer" than my Glock, with it's hammer and mag safety.

 

[jjlaughner]

wow I didn't see H&K on that list...

 

[LPMan59]

how is glock not on the list? don't they KABOOM all the time?

 

[TiminMishawaka]

Marlin is on that list.... WTF?

 

[leftsock]

Perhaps the list is, in part, designed to keep affordable firearms out of the hands of some groups of residents who can't afford something more "safe."

Coming from people who hate all guns... remember that.

Yes. Remember,this is being put forward my Commissar Daley. Therefore, there is some Evil intent behind it. He wouldn't do it unless it advanced his agenda.

Here's my thought:
He knows his whole set of restrictions is going to get challenged in court. He starts off with a long list of No-No Guns, most of which really are junk and marginally unsafe. When it goes to SCOTUS, they strike down some of his other restrictions, but his lawyer makes a good case that banning these "cheap dangerous guns favored by criminals" is a "reasonable restriction."

SCOTUS says, "OK, Mayor, you can keep your No-No Guns List. There's nothing unconstitutional about having a list bad guns you want to ban."

The very next day, Da Mayor makes a few minor adjustments to the list. Purely for the safety of the people, you understand. Just a few, like any 1911-pattern pistol (scary military-style guns), any that takes a magazine greater than 10 rounds capacity (what does any honest citizen need all those rounds for?), any gun made of plastic (obviously cheap and unsafe), any gun without a magazine disconnect safety, any gun without an external safety, any pistol in a military caliber...

I don't recognize MOST of those gunmakers. I'm guessing they're pretty much all either old POSs, or cheap POSs.

Still, there should be no such list.

Note to self: offer that guy 50% of asking price on the "You Bet" 9mm.

 

[indytechnerd]

a. Where a model or type is not specifically referenced, all models from the listed manufacturer are deemed unsafe.

Daisy
...
Marlin

What the hell?

What I was thinking.....

Mayor Daley now gets to go to those MFG's and say "well I didn't put you on my No-No list, why don't you contribute to my campaign"

Politics, always find a way of finding an angle, even when you don't get your way.
