Chicago Given 6 Months to Write New Gun Laws

On Tuesday, US District Judge Edmond Chang agreed to Chicago's request for a delay to allow for gun sales.

The city had requested one hundred and eighty days and Chang granted it.

Chang had ruled on Monday, January 6, that the city's gun ban was unconstitutional, and then stayed his own ruling to give the city time to appeal.

However, Chicago decided not to appeal the decision only asking for the delay to make new laws.

This sets the way for gun sales to begin in mid July.

Chicago had taken a lot of grief over the gun laws, which despite being the strictest in the US, were unable to stop gun violence.

In fact, gun violence only increased each year since the ban was put into place.
