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.

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" "

From what I understand their local government is strange, they don't have a regular election where people pass out petitions, get on the ballot and run. They have some sort of screening committee that keeps certain people in control that hate guns. I think alot of local governments have strange rules like this.
