Naperville city council listens to residents regarding proposed assault weapons ban
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Emotions running high in Naperville, as hundreds turned out to last night's city council meeting to share their thoughts on a proposed assault weapons ban.
"This legislation will make a difference. Because it tells the world who we are as a city," said one speaker at meeting.
"The proposed ban is not just assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. It's standard firearms that everybody buys for protection and for sporting. If this is passed, it would absolutely shut down my business," said another speaker.
