The Facts of Quilici v. Morton Grove:
In June of 1981 the trustees of the town of Morton Grove, Illinois voted in
favor of a law which prohibited the possession of handguns in the home. A lawyer
and gun owning resident, Victor Quilici filed a lawsuit challenging the law
claiming that it violated his Second Amendment right. The district court ruled
that the Second Amendment does not apply to the states, that the right to bear
arms is inextricably connected to the preservation of a militia, that state
legislatures may regulate or restrict state legislatures, and municipalities may
limit private access to weapons under their power to provide for the public
health and safety. The US Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's decision.
