The Power to License

Includes the power to say, “no.”  Norridge, IL initially gave Tony Kole  a license to sell guns. Then it changed its mind, took it away, and basically BANNED all gun sales in the village. It seemed like a good way to “get around” the constitutional prohibition on making ANY laws prohibiting gun ownership, but it is not. If you can’t BUY a gun, you can’t USE it in self-defense. What the hell is this tiny municipality THINKING? Where do they get the idea they can basically violate the Constitution with their little ordinance? Now Kole and the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) are taking them to court to decide the issue. I predict Kole will win. This will be the same court remember, that reversed CHICAGO’S gun ban.
