Legislation is sometimes used specifically to moot a case, such as has been attempted in Illinois in Ezell v. Chicago (SAF/Gura).

For me personally - just following the Moore v Madigan case, picking away at it one case at a time is slow and tedious. Heller basically said that it's inconstituional for the state to ban firearms ownership. That was very significant. But the difference now between gun owners living in Florida and those living in Illinois is the difference between litigation vs. legislation.

That is the difference right there. The respective leglislatures of the two states.

If Ilinois had a pro-gun governor, we would already have concealed carry.
