Yes, the NRA and ISRA are both suing the City of Chicago. I expect that to take at least 10 years.

Meanwhile, most of Chicago's suburbs with gun bans have repealed them. Last night, Morton Grove voted 5-1 to repeal its handgun ban.

I was listening to WBBM last night when one of their reporters was interviewing one of Morton Grove's village council members. Below is my paraphrased recollection.

Reporter: "Why did you think repealing the ban was a good idea?"

Council Member: "I don't own guns and will never own guns, but I don't see how we can tell other people they can't own guns...."

Reporter: "But you will consider replacing the ban, right?"

Council Member: "It's possible, but we don't have anything drafted yet."

Seems to me the reporter was trying to steer the conversation in the direction of "the NRA forced our hand but we will enact as much regulation as possible".
