I grew up in the Chicago area.

I have had no desire to return.

They are selling these to help the fight.

Judge ruled based on pre-emption; local governments don't have the authority to pass such an ordinance. Would have been better if he had tossed it as a broader 2A infringement, but as others have said, it's still a win.
