Unwholesome and Offensive

Not only will the sale of guns be prohibited in the village, but also within a mile of Addison...

Village attorney George Marchetti said a state statue allows any village to prevent guns from being sold within a mile of that town.

“I believe the village has the discretion to determine that firearm sales are an unwholesome and offensive business,” he said...

[Mayor Larry] Hartwig said he doesn’t believe in the sale of guns and wants to protect residents from dangerous weapons.

The village has a webpage where they invite citizens to "Ask Mayor Hartwig" questions for his monthly cable access show. I would, but the only things I can think to say are unwholesome and offensive.

Where I live we have decided we can legislate for anybody within 3 thousand miles of our boundaries. So I believe we will make it illegal for Addison to set it own rules.

Why not. If they can legislate for areas not theirs, there is no damn reason I can't.
