I agree in principle, Winston. Several Chicago suburbs repealed their handgun bans in the immediate wake of Heller, some without a fight. I lived in one of those suburbs many years ago when the ban passed, and it was surreal. A bleeding heart Village Board member introduced the bill and it passed one night with no public discussion or debate. Just like that, handguns were banned. Of course, the rule largely was ignored. I personally not only ignored it, but privately flouted it. When the Village Board finally repealed the ban all these years later, the bleeding heart was still around (long gone from the Board), and was apoplectic with rage. I loved it. I no longer live anywhere near there, but family does, and so I got the skinny. "Total meltdown. Like a kid whose ice cream fell off the cone." Got to love that.
