Washington D.C.’s gun laws have been in the news again lately, with language repealing many of D.C.’s current gun laws included in the bill to give residents voting rights. Previously, the Supreme Court’s decision in the infamous Heller case overturned the city’s handgun ban, while still leaving open “reasonable restrictions” on guns. With that decision, many believe that Chicago will be the next city to have its laws held up to Supreme Court scrutiny. What will this mean for Chicago? What, if any, are the reasonable limits on gun ownership? The debate over gun control is one that cannot be answered easily, and emotions run high on both sides. In our new program series, The Struggle Continues, we’ll take a look at current issues in civil rights and liberties. Join us for the first in this compelling series as we look at different sides of the gun rights issue.
Featured Speakers:
Dennis Henigan: Dennis A. Henigan is the Vice President for Law and Policy at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and Founder of its Legal Action Project. He is the author of Lethal Logic: Exploding the Myths that Paralyze American Gun Policy (Potomac Books 2009).
Robert A. Levy: Robert A. Levy is chairman of the Cato Institute’s board of directors, and was co-counsel to Mr. Heller in his D.C. gun case. His new book, co-authored with William Mellor, is The Dirty Dozen: How Twelve Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom.

Amity Schlaes and "The Forgotten Man"
Libertarian Meetups > The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group
What did the New Deal really achieve? Did it make the Depression better or worse?
Amity Schlaes, the author of a critically acclaimed book on the subject, "The Forgotten Man," will join the Illinois Policy Institute for a rousing discussion on April 15–that’s right, tax day!
Personally, I consider Amity’s book, "The Greedy hand," which is a history and an indictment of our tax system, to be among the most enlightening in my library. This should be a really great event.
Time: 5:30 pm-7:30 pm
Location: The Library, 190 South LaSalle (Chicago), 40th Floor
Cost: Tickets are $25, and include cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres.
For more details or to RSVP, contact us at info@illinoispolicyinstitute.org or call Ana-Maria at 312-346-5700, ext. 208.
