#1 The Daley rebuttal:

Mayor Richard M. Daley wants the ban to remain in place. He says local officials need flexibility to decide how best to protect their communities.

"We have the right for health and safety to pass reasonable laws dealing with the protection and health of the people of the city of Chicago," Daley said.

He also said the rollback of the city's handgun ban could lead to further erosion of legislation having to do with guns.

"This is the first time; once you start doing this, you'll start breaking down local laws, county and even state laws unlawful use of a weapon," Mayor Daley said.

The mayor is backed by community groups and Chicago's congressional delegation.

#3 I heard today on a talk show that the Illinois state constitution already says that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed...instead of getting scotus involved they need to get the state courts to do their damn job...
