Chicago’s Mayor Michael Rodriguez starts a national campaign to ban handguns from America’s cities, towns and villages. In response, Otis Cogsworth, the wealthy chairman and CEO of Cogsworth International Arms, and lobbyist Sunny McCarthy convince an Arkansas congressman to introduce federal legislation mandating that every American must own a firearm. Events soon escalate. Asabogue’s Mayor Lois Leibowitz passes an ordinance to ban guns in the town --- right in Otis Cogsworth’s backyard. Otis retaliates by orchestrating a recall election against Lois, and Jack Steele, a rich town resident, runs against her. Even though the election is for the mayor of a village on Long Island, Steele brings in the big guns of American politics to defeat Lois.
