Gun Attorney Alan Gura Responds to Chicago New Handgun Law

Alan Gura ,the attorney in the Chicago handgun case, responds to the new Chicago handgun law:
We applaud Chicago for not adopting the unconstitutional insurance and gun-rationing schemes. Of course, Chicago adopted other measures, not all of which we can approve. This is not a definitive and complete overview, but a sense of where we are.

It remains to be seen how the new training requirement is implemented. It should not be a serious obstacle to gun ownership and could even have some beneficial effect. But if Chicago believes that gun owners should have some range time to develop their shooting skills, how can the city ban ranges? And since there is a right to arms, the gun store ban is about as constitutional as a book store ban.
This man could hand out a lot of money in lawsuits against Chicago.
