Chicago's Retail Sale of Firearms Ban Thrown Out :: 01/09/2014

We reported on this the other day. Here's more on the Obama appointed judge who told Chicago they cannot ban retail sales.

"(GunReports.com) - A federal judge has ruled a part of Chicago's gun ordinance unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang found that banning the sale of guns by licensed dealers in the city was not legal.

Chang said Monday that while the government has a duty to protect its citizens, it's also obligated to protect constitutional rights, including the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. The ruling also would make it legal for individuals to transfer ownership of a firearm as a gift or through a private sale as long as the recipient was at least 18 and had a firearm owner's identification card."
