Wilmette has suspended enforcement of its 19-year-old ordinance banning handgun possession in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that appears to invalidate such bans.
...
"The Law Department and the Police Department have suspended enforcement of the ordinance pending further review by the Village Board," Wilmette village attorney Tim Frenzer said. "Based on the decision today, at a minimum it calls into serious question the continued viability of the ordinance."

Too bad Chicago, Oak Park, Evanston, and Winnetka won't voluntarily comply with the Constitution.

Daley is convinced that he runs his own autonomous country, not subject to the laws of the United States. I lived there long enough to know.

Of course not & that POS bho would love to disarm all of the legal gun owners

When it's a close vote like there was, 5-4, many states, counties, and municipalities will keep the law/ordinance intact but not enforce them.

This isn't anything new. Texas still has an anti abortion law from the 1800's. When the time is right, it will reign again.

BHO will likely get 1-2 picks for the SCOTUS during his administration. More than enough to ensure he can get Hiller overturned before it has chance to become long-term established legal doctrine.

Yes, the ruling was a victory, but don't celebrate too hard. It might be a very short-lived celebration. The fascist left will stop at NOTHING until the entire population is completely dependent on the Nanny State for everything.

What administration? He's losing his lead like Larry the Cable guy on Nutri Syatem.

I think that as soon as it gets to court there will be an injunction that suspends enforcement of the ban in Chicago and other places, until such time as the case if fully adjudicated.

Even if he replaces 2, it will be the most liberal 2. It would not affect much of anything, just maintain the status quo.

No need to panic, all is well at SCOTUS.

Good point, the worst ones are the oldest

That's true enough, although a 5-4 decision is nothing to whoop it up about. That's all I'm saying.
