The Threat of Lawsuits

When most communities in IL are in the middle of a financial crisis, the reality that they will lose their shirts over lawsuits regarding their stupid anti-gun laws will make some of them think twice:

Homewood modifies weapons ban 

 Homewood residents who faced fines of up to $750 for owning a working assault weapon and keeping it in the village can now keep them, as long as they aren’t brought into public places.

On the recommendation of village attorney Chris Cummings, the village board on Tuesday gutted the ordinance it passed last month banning assault weapons.

 Most of the other laws passed are going to have big parts of them ruled unconstitutional.  Homewood was just smart enough to beat the lawsuits that are going to happen.
