That’s a good point, and I suspect you’re right. Nonetheless, these towns repealed their gun ban because they couldn’t afford a costly legal battle they were likely to lose. The case for incorporation of the Second Amendment is very strong, and these towns know that.

I think the topic was very much needed and the discussion that ensued was helpful, if for no other reason than to show that reasonable people can disagree on the point at which deadly force against the government is needful.

In short, Mike Vanderboegh is a reasonable man and so is Kurt. Their contention that we are now, presently, facing circumstances where deadly force is necessary does not make them extremist kooks.

We all as gun rights activists have our line in the sand. I think we need to respect each other no matter where we each draw that line.

I disagree.

I think a lot of these places are taking things off the books until they see how the “Chicago Challenge” shakes out.

Also, just looking at the Morton Grove City Council, it shows that most of ‘em aren’t getting the memo that you should be able to at least keep a gun in your home…

Something about the registration of an individual, inalienable right strikes me as cautious. (to say the least)
