Gun-rights groups argue that most of the local laws are in violation of a 1974 state law that bars municipalities against passing restrictions that are pre-empted by state gun laws. But they have had trouble getting the laws overturned, because that requires finding someone who can show injury from the laws to bring a lawsuit challenging them.

It's just too bad that being a butt-hurt, right-wing, gun nut, stand-your-ground, wannabe Rambo, has-a-sad Bubba doesn't count as being "injured." Poor delicate flowers will just have to find another avenue to challenge common sense gun regulations, and join the dwindling number of lethal weapon owners, as they watch the adults take positive steps against the insane gun obsession by a radical minority in this country.
