A federal appeals court struck down restrictions on the placement and operation of gun ranges imposed by the city of Chicago as unconstitutional on Wednesday.
The ruling is the latest in Chicagos fight with federal courts over the issue of allowing gun ranges within city limits. In 2011, a federal court struck down the citys complete ban on gun ranges in Ezell v. City of Chicago. In response the city passed a new law which legalized ranges but forced them to be located in manufacturing districtsat least 100 feet apart from other gun ranges, at least 500 feet away from residential areas, schools, churches, and a number of other special exceptions. Those under 18 were also barred from being able to enter any range within city limits.
The same plaintiffs who defeated the city in 2011 then filed a new suit against the city claiming the restrictions were unconstitutional. The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit agreed on Wednesday, striking down all three restrictions in question.
In a ruling that described Chicagos gun range law as an elaborate scheme of regulations, the court ordered the city to eliminate the regulations that were challenged. . .

So, where do the gang bangers practice?
oh...ya...that’s the problem....
The bangers killed almost 800 of each other last year. (A few of the 798 homicides were self defense shootings.)
They’ve killed 43 of each other this year. (Plus two by cops.)
They seem to be doing pretty well ...
So, where do the gang bangers practice?
On each other
“So, where do the gang bangers practice?”
On the streets, where they get plenty of practice.
I really do hope that President Trump finds a way to curb this violence in Chicago, because it could well be a model for the other RAT-run big cities which have the same problem. And it would be a big black eye for the RAT Party and probably a big loss of voters for them.
Yeeeeep!

Seems to me these gang bangers hit bystanders at least as much as other thugs. They seem to especially love to shoot up parties, family BBQs etc.
