THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN, THAT THE POLITICIANS... DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW!

The Skokie Assault Weapons Ban is based on the Cook County AWB... which has NOT passed judicial scrutiny, as claimed by the people who are pushing for these Homerule Communities to Pass more UnConstitutional Ordinances. In my opinion it was an epic failure of public trust, in misleading the Homerule Mayors to believe that the Cook County AWB has passed Judicial scrutiny and that the challenge to it has failed. It simply is not true... the Illinois Supreme Court has repremanded the lower court and Ordered the lower court to hear the Case, stating that the lower court FAILED to prove that Assault Weapons are not protected by the 2nd Amendment. This leaves Skokie and Highland Park in a precarious position, as the Lawsuits are now focused on them as well.  Secondly, the pre-emption clause of Bill183, will make any Handgun and magazines, exempt from any Homerule Ordinance. The Pre-emption clause also clears up "Transportation" and makes it 100% legal to transport an unloaded Semi-Automatic Rifle through Skokie or Highland Park. The City Councils have gone to extreme measures, in their attempt to preserve their Homerule power. The residents need to call or e-mail the Mayor and City Council and ask these three questions... 1. What is the REAL status of the challenge to the Cook County Assault Weapons Ban? (Wilson v. Cook County)  2. What effect will "Pre-emption" in Bill 183 have on this City of Skokie, Ordinance?  3. How does dis-arming ONLY the residents of Skokie, make us safer?
