Post Heller (I really dig that phrase)
We won! Now what?
Well, challenges are already filed in Chicago and here’s the Chicago Gun Case Website:
Following Thursday’s (5-4) ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects an individual civil right to keep and bear arms, and that a municipal gun ban violates that right, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) filed a federal lawsuit (complaint) challenging the City of Chicago’s long-standing handgun ban.
“Chicago’s handgun ban has failed to stop violent crime,” SAF founder Alan Gottlieb stated. “It’s time to give the Constitution a chance.”

Will the plaintiffs face the same standing problem in Illinois that caused the courts in DC to toss all plaintiffs except Heller?
