But in 1982, the 7th Circuit ruled that "arms" do not include handguns...

Which is on its face a ridiculous statement. One that would be over turned under a positive ruling by the SCOTUS on the 2A.

If the SCOTUS rules as it should, then that "ban" would be null and void, the homeowner should get restitution from those who passed and adjudicated that "ban", and anyone attempting to emplace another "ban" should be jailed on charges of "deprivation of a civil rights under color of law".

But aren't you an advocate of State Constitutions protecting individual RKBA? Doesn't Illinois have an RKBA in the State constitution?

SECTION 22. RIGHT TO ARMS
Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

(sarc)Whiz bang job your "state" is doing of protecting an individual Right...(/sarc)
