It seems the city misread 'to keep and bear arms' as 'to keep arm.'"

Laser sights to show where you're muzzle is pointed...a-ok.

Laser site, as in a location to base a massive laser canon...dont do it in chicago.

mufflers

Not only them, but what about those cold winters. Lawyers could twist that around, and ban ear muffs.

That's it! They want everyone too cold to leave thier house in a cold Chicago winter! If they can't leave thier houses, neither can thier guns!

That worked really well this past winter in B-more.

Chicago has a history of fine laws:

"It is forbidden to fish while sitting on a giraffe’s neck."

I've done somedigging on stuff from that site and never yet been able to find something they listed that wasn't a law. If it's been repealed, they may leave it on the site but will note that it has been stricken.

As well it should be. This is an example of Giraffe exploitation at it's worst and we must start a nation-wide, grass-roots campaign to stop such tragic events from occuring again in the future.

(Okay, so I was channeling Colbert there. Too over-the-top?)

In all seriousness, it's amazing what people will legislate if given the chance.

Today the Chicago Police Department will begin detailing on its website steps to becoming a legal gun owner. The first step is to get a permit, which requires range and classroom training, decent eyesight, a fingerprint background check...

So the elderly and legally blind are out of the question. Good to know the City only recognizes young, tax-paying residents as true citizens.

What if I shorten a barrel on a lathe? is that legit?

I'll put a catalytic converter on it too so I can get a rebate from the CCX because I'm reducing carbon emissions too.

Also what the hell is a laser site? This?

Nope, that thing shoots missiles. They're talking about this:

That's no moon. It's a laser site. I think... Gun laws are incomprehensible. Maybe they're talking about this:
