A federal judge on Monday stripped away a key element of Chicago's gun ordinance, ruling that it is unconstitutional to prohibit licensed gun stores from operating in the city.

U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang found that the city failed to convince him that banning the sale of guns by licensed dealers was necessary to reduce gun violence.

You don't say. Banning guns from law abiding citizens doesn't keep criminals from using them to practice their craft?

I'm still glad I moved out of IL in 2010. My worst fear was dying while I lived in IL. Because then I'd start voting democrat.
