Chicago's City Council to Consider New Gun Regulations Tuesday

The Chicago Reader reports:
The City Council's police and fire committee recessed Monday morning without considering an item quietly added to its agenda last Friday afternoon: the city's response to the Supreme Court ruling knocking out Chicago's ban on handguns.

The agenda item is described as "an ordinance introduced by the Honorable Mayor Richard M. Daley, at the request of the Corporation Counsel, concerning firearm regulation." Chairman Anthony Beale said he'll reconvene the committee Tuesday at 1 p.m. but wouldn't offer any hints about what will be in the ordinance.
