Morton Grove Ban Overturned.
This is a done deal, folks, but they're still not getting the memo: Trib. article here.
But Trustee Georgianne Brunner, the only one to vote against the repeal, said she may be back with a proposal to require Morton Grove residents to register guns with the village.
And, in case that wasn't enough:
She said contrary to what some supporters of the repeal have said, the state law that requires gun owners obtain firearm owner identification cards does not provide enough protection.That law, she said, does not require that owners notify the state if their weapons are stolen or if they are sold. Also, she said, state registration is good for five years, even if a gun owner becomes a felon during that time and is not eligible to own a gun.
"I don't know yet if it's feasible," Brunner said. "I don't feel there's support on the board yet."
Trustee Dan Staackmann called the handgun ban a "noble experiment," but said the village cannot afford to defend it in court.
There you have it folks: they try to take away your rights and call it a "noble experiment."
