This is what the liberals have done to our gun rights, let the criminals and mentally insane out so they kill people with guns and then go out and say that guns are the problem. Of course destroying the family structure has helped create more of these folks.

In the wake of the self-defense shooting in Wilmette and the prosecution of the individual who defended his home with a weapon but violated the municipality's ordinance banning gun ownership, what do you think about local regulations of gun ownership?
I support local control. If a town wants to ban gun ownership, they should do so. If the people don't like it, elect new town officials.


(2.81%)
I support pre-emption. Federal and state constitutions allow citizens the right to own firearms. Local governments should not restrict gun rights any more than the state constitution does.


(11.24%)
Neither local control or state pre-emption cut it. The 2nd Amendment is an absolute right. No unit of government has the right to prevent law-abiding citizens from the right to keep and bear arms.

I support tougher gun control at every level, even going so far as an ownership ban like Wilmette.

" "I support a ban on all assault weapons.", "no controls (period)", "CCW Vermont style - no permit needed" "

After I voted it said I had already voted when I hadn't. Maybe it is seeing people from FR come over there? Paste this in and go vote:

I heard on a local radio talk show called "cop talk" the perpetraitor had over 30 arrests. The Wilmette cops took 13 minutes to respond to the call for help. 13 minutes is a long time to respond to a hot burglary! Most cops said this guy should get a medal for heroism. Shame on those reckless snobby
Wilmette board members. Their disregard for the safety and well being of this man and his family is unbelievable. Liberalism=death.
