Chicago Official : City Can Ban Gun Stores

The Chicago Tribune reports on how Chicago Corporation Counsel Maria Georges plans to continue to fight for Chicago's handgun ban:
"Much of the reason gun dealers haven't opened shop is because is because if they were to do so, as soon as someone were to purchase a handgun and take it out of the shop, they would be in violation of the city's ordinance and subject to arrest," Georges said.

She said the city could ban firearms dealers altogether or make gun shops subject to extremely tight regulations with requirements such as reporting what kind of guns they are selling and to whom they are selling them, perhaps even requiring such reports daily.
Chicago seems to want to defend this man's legislative agenda.
