Fairfax, Va. – The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division has conclusively held that the National Rifle Association has the right to recover attorneys’ fees in the case of National Rifle Association v. City of Chicago and National Rifle Association v. Village of Oak Park, in which the NRA was a prevailing party. This District Court's decision, which held that the NRA is entitled to over $1.3 million in fees, follows a similar ruling by the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.And this is where Chicago and Oak Park's tax dollars are going after defending their civil rights violations. They will continue to waste money by keeping the laws as strict as they 'think' they can get away with.
And they'll continue to be wrong.

Less than half a year after having to fork $399,950 over to the Second Amendment Foundation. VPC likes to claim that the "gun lobby" is funded by the gun industry, but I bet not many gun companies have given gun rights groups as much money as Chicago taxpayers have ;-).
I'd say that the money is not wasted. It appears to have been rather well spent!
