Woman Sues Chicago After Being Shot by Gun from Buyback Program
 
AWR Hawkins14 Aug 2025668
 
Twanda Willingham is suing the city of Chicago after being shot with a pistol that had been “relinquished to Chicago police at a gun turn-in event,” according to the NRA-ILA.


FOX 32 reported Willingham was shot in August 2023 with a Glock 21 “surrendered months earlier at a Chicago Police Department gun buyback.”

Willingham subsequently filed suit against Chicago, after it was discovered the gun had allegedly “disappeared while in transit between the [location of the buy back event] and a nearby police station—just blocks apart.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It just proves even a city as safe and well run as Chicago, bad things can happen. :headbang:

C'mon now... You just spent your whole damn day handing out food cards and gift cards, trading em for guns... All day long listening to whiney-ass John Q. Public... Putting up with it...

And you're finally done at the end of the day, driving off with at least a suitcase full of hardware, maybe 1 in 10 ain't a piece of crap...  But those 1 in 10 are worth something like 500 bucks each, and you are driving em off to get dumped into a smelter.

It don't take a rocket scientist to work out this math.

Priceless.  Normally, I frown on civil actions of this nature.  But I believe this woman has a good case.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
