Chicago won't fight ruling allowing gun sales

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel all but acknowledged that people will be able to legally buy guns in Chicago later this year, announcing Thursday that he has chosen not to fight a federal court ruling that struck down the city's gun shop ban.

Instead, City Hall will ask a judge to let the administration spend the next six months coming up with rules restricting where gun stores could open, regulations Emanuel said would allow Chicago to “to abide by the straitjacket the court put us under.”
