Gun rights advocates have filed another lawsuit against the City of Chicago's new handgun ordinance, claiming that it violates the Second Amendment because it doesn't allow shooting ranges for the public.
The lawsuit filed on Monday, claiming that by "by banning gun ranges open to the public… under color of law," the new Responsible Gun Ownership Ordinance violates the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
Two gun rights advocacy groups – the Second Amendment Foundation, the Illinois State Rifle Association – filed the lawsuit, along with shooting range equipment maker Action Target Inc. and three individual plaintiffs.

The plaintiffs in the case include Rhonda Ezell, whom the news release says has been the victim of attempted burglaries three times and has a disability that makes it difficult for her to leave the city; Joseph Brown, a World War II U.S. Army veteran; and William Hespen, a retired Chicago Police detective.
