It was awesome to hear the Board President ask "does any trustee wish to motion to consider this action?"... and then hear crickets in the room.
Speaking with the local police chief afterwards, I would be violating the language restrictions of the board if I were to repeat his personal opinions of the proposal. It's safe to say he is firmly on our side.
It's gratifying to hear all the places where the idea is getting shot down. It was also gratifying to hear Todd last night speak to the already existing plans in place for those communities that move forward and enact any restrictions. It's going to be a fun ride!

So what are these plans Todd says he has in place?
Peace through superior firepower

It's the SOP. Cease and desist enforcement and then file suit.
Thing is, it's a different Illinois court district than Cook for the most part. Much more friendly to our side. Todd seemed almost to be looking forward to the fight.

Lake County is much friendlier than Cook. There are machine puppets there too (Drury), but on the whole there is a much greater political balance between liberal leaning and conservative leaning people in the various towns and villages. Then there are all the people who just plain think such a ban is a solution looking for a problem and waste of taxpayer money (given the likely lawsuits).
Head north past Highland Park and the farther you get from Lake Cook Road the more likely you are to find friendly town boards, or at least ones who are open to discussion.

If you live in one of the communities that are considering AWB and other gun control measures, I would make it clear to the governing elite that you fully intend to litigate any infringement of your second amendment rights. As specifically as you can, point out why their proposed regs violate your rights. Let them know that passing an ordinance will be the start of the matter, not the end.
These communities are not Chicago. They have limited budgets and limited will for protracted legal battles. Furthermore, these communities generally have little to no firearms crime to begin with, much less an assault weapon problem. The proposed ordinances are a solution looking for a problem. If they realize that they face costly legal fights over these ordinances which are intended to address something that isn't even a problem for them in the first place, they are likely to back off.

I did just that; I let the Wheeling board of trustees know that passing an AWB would open them up to massive lawsuits. Who knows, it may be Mr. Patriots & Tyrants V. Wheeling here soon enough.
The good news is the two replies I got seemed very aware and wary of the potential for litigation.
