The problem is not the instrument. It’s the human holding the instrument. A responsible, law-abiding person can be holding the instrument and there is no problem. But if a spoiled, irresponsible, coddled, law-breaking person holds the instrument there will be trouble.
Instead of controlling the instrument, they should be controlling the criminal! Ah, but they know that! And they deliberately choose to leave the criminal alone and concentrate on the instrument in the hands of the law-abiding person.

Western Arms also made the list. Isn’t there a tie there to Winchester?

Hey, don’t knock ACME. My grandfather’s double barrel 12 gauge shotgun (with hammers!) was made by ACME.

As far as I know, no road runners were harmed by this gun.

That list of arms suggests that there must be a lot more .41 Rimfire ammunition floating around the 'hood than would logically be expected. Or not.

Of course road runners are never harmed by ACME products.

The same cannot be said about coyotes.

I suspect that the ACME Corporation is secretly owned and operated by a shadowy consortium of road runners.

Chicks with guns.....causes mixed emotions for me.

Really sexy, yet potentially dangerous.

That’s a hell of a list. And they aren’t all throw away guns.

Nope. Look again.

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

If it’s not on the list, it’s out. That includes Taurus, Colt, Beretta etc.

The following handguns have been specifically disapproved by the Superintendent as unsafe handguns and therefore cannot be registered within the City of Chicago.

If it's on the list it's out. If it's not on the list, it can still be registered. Colt only lists "all derringers" S&W "all spur trigger models" and Taurus and Beretta aren't mentioned.

that list bans guns with spur triggers and knife guns. I think theyre looking at a gun catalog from 1897.

Come to think of it, my grandfather did have several cases of dynamite, rockets on sticks, and some anvils....
