The question should be,is Freedom and Liberty worth fighting for? I choose GUNS rather than sharp sticks and stones!

...Wilmette prohibits its residents from owning handguns.

New business opportunity: leasing guns to folks forbidden to own them. "No, officer, I don't own a gun. This one is leased."

Works until at next council meeting they replace the word "own" with "possess".

I do hope that this law passes, because after it is struck down by a federal or state court, than Illinoisians can finally decide if they want Illinois's interetation of the 2nd amendment to remain a constitutional backwater.

I hate to have to admit this to you guys, but the second amendment in Illinois is in really bad shape. This has come about has a result of the Quilici versus Morton Grove 7th federal circuit District court of appeals in 1980 or so. That court took the most expansive interpretation possible of the phrase "police power" in Article I, Section 22 of the Illinois Constitution and said that the right to keep and bear arms essentially is what any particular unit of government says it is under the home rule provisions of the Illinois Constitution.

Until we get the Illinois Constitution amended, this case will continue to be cited to support any tyrannical gun-control law that any fiefdom such as Morton Grove, Wilmette, or Chicago chooses to enact.

Read it and weep. http://www.guncite.com/court/fed/695f2d261.html
