You would think these nitwits would at least wait until the court hears the DC ban.

Not if they're afraid it will be overturned. I'm guessing they want to get this passed and as many guns collected and as many gun owners who don't want to hand them over arrested as possible while they still can.

Well, if they don't and that case goes the way the Constitution says it must, then maybe Chicago's laws should be the first test of wether a city or state can infringe upon the right of the people which the federal government may not. A 14th amendment "incorporation" case, or possibly even go back the original understanding of "priveleges and immunities of citzens of the United States" under the 14th amendment, which the immunity from having one's RKBA infringed upon is certainly one.
