Time to appeal this to the US Supreme Court.
From the article: “In contending that the Cook County case was distinct from the Highland Park challenge, lawyers for the two gun owners wrote that the "frequency of the criminal threats faced" in the Chicago area should be considered in deciding whether restrictions infringe on a gun owner's Second Amendment rights.
The court, however, did not find that logic persuasive, saying the gun laws did not prevent citizens from acquiring other types of weapons for self-protection.
"Our discussion of self-defense focused instead on the availability of other means for citizens to defend themselves," the court wrote. "This is a question answered by the particular locality's laws, not by its crime rates."
