I have also heard they may require insurance to own one. This decison did not go far enough imo, and if obama gets elected to a second term he will have a chance to change the balance of the court. When issues like $500 licenses and other restrictions make their way back to scotus it may be a 5-4, but the other way.
Obama amounts to little more than a continuation of Bush, which has pissed off an awful lot of people, including I have noticed lately a lot of the inner city blacks that were all excited that he won, which is pretty much his biggest fan base. Short of an incredible october surprise, even bigger and nastier than the 2008 october surprise financial meltdown, I don't think Obama has a snowballs chance in hell of getting re elected. I would predict the republicans will play the gender and/or race card and put up a much better campaign than they did with McCain and Palin. Granted 2012 is a long time and a lot of sleeze away, but I don't see any realistic way that Obama has enough time left to win people over.
Anyway, in terms of the dirty tricks Chicago will be trying to pull off like 500 dollar registration fees, you can't look at it in the short term. We already knew this would be a long drawn out process with a lot of criminally unconstitutional actions coming from idiot politicians. DC for example is still grossly out of line with the second amendment. It's important to look at the bright side of things, which is that a metaphorical boulder has just been pushed off a cliff, and it will be doing a lot of damage (to gun control) as is rides down. In the mean time a number of free states have declared 10th amendment sovernty against federal gun laws, and more have considered doing so. If you want a hefty dose of freedom, it's there for the taking. And more is on the horizon for the tyrant occupied states. It's an exciting time for gun rights.
