I got out after my 18th birthday. Like Smitty, I won't be moving back.I say to hell with Illinois, (I live the first 22 years of my life there so I can say it). I will never move back.
June 2 (Bloomberg) -- A Chicago ordinance banning handguns and automatic weapons within city limits was upheld by a U.S. Court of Appeals panel, which rejected a challenge by the National Rifle Association.
The unanimous three-judge panel ruled today that a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year, which recognized an individual right to bear arms under the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, didn’t apply to states and municipalities.
“The Supreme Court has rebuffed requests to apply the second amendment to the states,” U.S. Circuit Judge Frank Easterbrook wrote, upholding lower court decisions last year to throw out suits against Chicago and its suburb of Oak Park, Illinois.
Perhaps we need to form an educational outreach program to let inner city youth know about the recent court decisions so they can abide by the law better? Is there still time to get that added to the Federal budget?
Someone posted death stats so far this year in Chicago and Iraq and joked:
"Forget Iraq, its time to pull out of Chicago"
