"We believe that state and local governments should be free to address gun violence as they see fit. Even if the Court concludes, however, that the Second Amendment does apply to the states, Heller made clear that the Amendment is consistent with a broad variety of reasonable gun violence prevention regulations"
LCAV will support Chicago and Oak Park in the Supreme Court litigation and will continue to provide assistance to state and local governments facing Second Amendment challenges to firearms laws. ..
Which means they're going to continue to push for every ban, restriction, and regulation that comes across no matter how ridiculous or ineffective. For gun control groups, everything up to and including defacto or dejure bans are 'reasonable'.

They're all about local control...right up until the point that its a federal RESTRICTION being proposed.
Then it's just good common sense for local control to be over-ruled.
The sheer scope of their hypocrisy is mind boggling.
So much for gun bans being "off the table."
All the more reason to support the Illinois State Rifle Association and the Second Amendment Foundation, both plaintiffs in the McDonald et al vs Chicago suit. Give generously, www.isra.org & www.saf.org
State and local governments are not free to violate the constitutional rights of Americans, nor should they be. If our rights are to mean anything, they must be rights that can be exercised, not rights that are allowed in theory by the federal government but prohibited from actually being exercised by lower levels of government.
Rights that cannot be exercised have no meaning. Our rights as Americans must have meaning, or they are no rights at all.
Yup, where was this "states rights" argument from the anti-gunners when they were screaming about how we need a new FEDERAL AWB?
