Quote:Chicago suburb bans assault weapons, and the NRA is threatening to sue
Quote:The NRA and a group called “Guns Save Life” are threatening a lawsuit to overturn the ban. This is a stupid threat, since the issue of assault weapons bans has been thoroughly litigated:
Quote:Several powerful federal appeals courts have ruled that prohibitions on assault weapons were permissible under the Second Amendment, and no federal appeals court has ever held that assault weapons were protected, as The Post’s Meagan Flynn and Fred Barbash have reported. Those courts have also found that states and municipalities have sound reasons to ban military-style weapons without curtailing people’s right to self-defense.
