You're probably not wrong, but to put my earlier comments into light, Morton Grove was one of the ones who reversed their position legislatively as a result of the Heller decision.
I think it's fair to categorize Morton Grove either way, but perhaps it is errant of me to imply close correlation.
Edit: Actually, I recant. Many cities have overturned legislation as a result of suit, but looking at the context, we aren't talking about cities, we're talking about states.
As to the discussion on how states go from rights-restrictive to rights-permissive, I agree that it has predominately been done legislatively.
Errr, no, I'm talking about both states and cities.
Although maybe some other cities in non-preemption states, but the only ones I can remember are Illinois, Nebraska (it came up after the state went shall issue), and Colorado for Denver, but that was carved out by the courts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Colorado#Denver).
This is interesting enough that I checked all the Wikipedia pages after only finding vague "almost all states": Illinois has now preempted most regulations. Massachusetts has "limited preemption", but I remember it to be pretty general. Nebraska is in "most but not all", so I assume the shall issue issues were ironed out, as I vaguely recall. New Jersey is limited (no surprise, it and Massachusetts really would like to outlaw guns altogether and mere ownership is massively restricted), New York of course. Basically Morton Grove's handgun ban lit a fire under state legislatures, most date from the mid-80s.
The above excludes things like some states allowing some cities to outlaw carrying in parks and the like, the usual discharge laws, plus various grandfathered laws, none super-onerous as far as I know aside from registration in Clark County, Nevada (Las Vegas).
Then again, there's been a whole lot of lawsuits to enforce state preemption; that's not Heller based, but it is of course done in the courts. At least a couple of states have made it particularly expensive for cities to resist, legislatures don't like their authority being questioned....
