Georgia town not alone in using gun law as 'deterrent' - USATODAY - Larry Copeland - . The city enacted the measure in response to a law passed in Morton Grove, Ill., that outlawed gun ownership. - "When the law was passed, it was common knowledge that it was not going to be enforceable," Davis says. "It was a symbolic gesture." - Still, the crime rate, not that high to begin with, plummeted after the law was enacted — by 89%, compared with a 10% drop statewide, according to published accounts.
