People younger than 18 have a Second Amendment right to target practice, with adult supervision. Broad bans on the location of firing ranges are unconstitutional. On these points, all three judges of a 7th Circuit panel agree, in the newly decided Ezell II.

Released Wednesday, Ezell II held that:

1. Chicago may not prohibit all persons under 18 from entering licensed firing ranges.
2. Chicago may not constrict firing ranges to a tiny sliver of the city.

thought the city was a free fire zone

What a joke. I'd bet half the 15 yr olds in Chicago own guns....

Democrats in Chicago act like there is no constitution

Yep, the 7th Circuit got it right in Ezell II. The right to keep and bear arms doesn't mean much if it's illegal to train and practice with arms, and if nobody can be introduced to them as a young person just shy of adulthood.
Chicago's laws are nothing other than the "closest they can get" to an outright gun ban, and this kind of contempt for the 2nd Amendment should mean that the City, and Cook County, have their laws strictly scrutinized by the courts. If any of those government entities offer a "legitimate reason" for a certain gun law, this should be viewed as a lie; mere pretext to cover the government's real motivations.

By the way, the EZELL cases were supposedly funded by the Second Amendment Foundation.
SAF claims credit for "its challenge" to these no-shooting, no-target-ranges laws in Illinois.

I especially like the part where the libs made up their own set of facts to push their agenda. Are we seeing a pattern?
