However, a detail admittedly, but one close to my heart. If owning an "assault rifle" makes you a thug, I am one as well. The whole assault weapon thing was just spin by some politico's for a do-nothing law on a public that effectively did not know better. An "assault weapon" is basically no different than any other weapon. They just look evil.

I too own a assult weapon, and there is nothing thugish about me.

Though i dont know all the specifics about his gun case, his defense was that he is a resident of Arizona where you dont need to register your firearms. I believe IL has strict gun laws, and firearms are banned in Chicago. So this unregistered firearms charge sounds like a careless mistake on his behalf, not him just being a thug. Now the fact that he got a concelled weapons charge ealier in IL makes it a really dumb careless mistake, but most likely just that.
