Chicago suburb repeals 20 year old gun ban
Despite pleas from residents gathered at a town hall meeting Tuesday night, Winnetka officials voted to repeal a 20-year ban on handguns.
A Supreme Court ruling in June declared that the Second Amendment guarantees the right of individual Americans to keep and bear arms.
In September, three Winnetka residents and the National Rifle Association sued the village, stating that the local ban violated their rights protected by the Constitution.
