I'd be curious to see what sort of funding is funnelling into this kid and the sources.

Well damn, there goes Han Solo’s blaster, and any other broom handle Mausers. Because I’m sure they show up at most school shootings.

I think they are going after AR pistols when they include that.

(Yeah. Repeat from 5 days ago. But it's significant that the "march" was astroturf. Heck, the Demoncrap party in South FL did everything to create that shooting except pull the trigger.)

They will have problems with that as Colorado has a preemption law (no gun laws stricter than state law). Denver filed a lawsuit after the bill was passed (around 2003). It went to the Colorado Supreme Court, some of the Denver ordinances were upheld, some struck down.

If Boulder does this, the state AG will be compelled to file a suit to strike down the ordinances. Passing something like this will likely be a crap shoot, but win or lose, it will cost Boulder money for the lawsuit.

Tucson tried this crap a few years ago by ignoring state preemption of Arizona gun legislation, even after being told by state AG Tucson's action is not legal.

Tucson City Council went to court over the issue anyway and got bitch slapped and ordered to pay for legal expenses incurred by state attorneys.

Which was was close to a million USD.......paid for by taxpayers, of course.

Finally folks are getting sick of David Hogg, even liberals.

^^^ Yeah, and they're just starting on Emma Gonzalez, too. Told ya they'd jumped the shark.

The Village of Deerfield IL, a suburb of Chicago, voted to ban semiautomatic assault rifle and high capacity mags.

http://abc7chicago.com/politic...tic-weapons/3294859/

$1000 per day fine if not removed by June 13. How do they enforce this? Are they basically relying on asshole neighbors to rat them out? The township and or local authorities have no access to 4473s which wouldn't do them much good anyway.

If I have 50 ARs, is that $50,000 day or $1,000 day?

If you discover my rifle on June 13th 2019, are you going to fine me $365,000 without knowing if I've had that rifle in my home for a year?

meanwhile,

The previous record for March was 2,523,265 background checks in 2016, but FBI numbers show there were 2,767,699 background checks in March 2018.

That fact coupled with the new NRA membership since this whole cluster[youknowwhat] started pretty much renders Hogg and his cast of clown's efforts a complete and total failure. The light on this moron's fifteen minutes is just about out.

Most of the neighboring towns already did this 5 years ago before the new Illinois state law took effect after they lost at SCOTUS. The rationale of the cities was supposed to be to get the bans done before they were blocked by state preemption law, so not sure how Deerfield gets to do it now? I lived next door to Deerfield at the time.

Is Parkland the whiniest bunch of kids in America?

Deerfield bans assault weapons and high-capacity magazines

by Steve Sadin
Pioneer Press
April 3, 2018 2PM

Owners of assault weapons living in north suburban Deerfield have until June 13 to remove the firearms from within village limits or face daily fines after a ban was approved Monday night.

The Village Board of Trustees unanimously approved a ban on certain types of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, amending a 2013 ordinance that regulated the storage of those items.

The new ordinance prohibits the possession, sale and manufacturing of certain types of assault weapons and large capacity magazines within the village, according to the ordinance. One change from the law as it was originally discussed exempts retired police officers from the ban, according to Village Manager Kent Street.

Violations carry a fine of between $250 and $1,000 per day, according to Matthew Rose, the village attorney. He said the fine is levied each day until there is compliance.

Street said the new law is modeled after one approved by Highland Park in 2013. That ban survived a legal challenge by one of the city’s residents and the Illinois State Rifle Association. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that legislation constitutional and the U.S. Supreme Court let the decision stand when it declined to take up the appeal.

Unlike Highland Park, Deerfield opted not to enact a total ban on assault weapons during a 10-day window that Illinois lawmakers’ gave home-rule municipalities in 2013 before the state’s new Firearm Concealed Carry Act eliminated their ability to do so.

However, Deerfield trustees did enact an ordinance defining assault weapons and requiring the safe storage and safe transportation of those weapons within the village. That measure, which was enacted during the permitted time frame, preserved Deerfield's right to amend the ordinance in the future, Street previously said.

“This is not only held constitutional by the Seventh Circuit but similar laws have been ruled constitutional in California, the District of Columbia and Maryland,” Rose said last month.

The original resolution said that since Deerfield enacted its regulations, “assault weapons have been increasingly used in an alarming number of notorious mass shooting incidents at public schools, public venues, places of worship and places of public accommodation.”

In the ordinance, the definition of an assault weapon includes, among others, semiautomatic rifles that have a fixed magazine with a capacity to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition; shotguns with a revolving cylinder; and semiautomatic pistols and rifles that can accept large-capacity magazines and possess one of a list of other features. Among the dozens of specific models cited are the AR-15, AK-47 and Uzi, according to the ordinance.

The rationale mentions four recent shooting incidents that have claimed a total of 150 lives: The shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 dead; a massacre at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas that killed 26 people; the Las Vegas music festival shooting that left 58 dead and the Pulse Nightclub mass shooting in Orlando, Fla. that killed 49 people.

Though the trustees had virtually no debate Monday night, more than 70 people attended the meeting. Of the 20 people who spoke, 14 were opposed to the ordinance and six supported it. Eight of 14 people who expressed opposition to the ban said they lived outside Deerfield.

Opponents of the ban like Larry Nordal of Deerfield cited their rights under the Second Amendment and expressed fear that more restrictive laws would be passed in the future.

“The ordinance to store firearms was only passed for one reason,” Nordal said. “That was to have an amendatory vehicle that could be used in the future for just this purpose so you could banish assorted firearms in the future. First it’s going to be assault rifles. (There will be) new bans in the future. It’s just a matter of time.”

Ariella Kharasch, a Deerfield High School senior who favors the legislation, said she wants more action both on a local and national level.

“This is our fight,” Kharasch said. “This is our generation’s fight. We’re going to keep fighting and this is part of it. Change happens gradually step by step. The fight does not end at the borders of our village.”

Joel Siegel of Lincolnwood said governments in other countries have banned weapons and then proceeded to use weapons against defenseless citizens. He urged civil disobedience as a way to stay safe.

“There’s an ancient and honored American tradition called disobeying an unjust law,” Siegel said. “I have urged (people) to listen to their conscience and if so moved do not obey this law.”

Mike Weisman, a Glen Ellyn resident and a board member of the Illinois State Rifle Association said Deerfield should be prepared for a lawsuit like the one filed against neighboring Highland Park. That city received assistance with its legal defense from gun violence prevention organizations, according to Street.

While the trustees did not discuss their reasons for supporting the ordinance at this meeting, Trustee Barbara Struthers said she knew of people who were opposed but chose not to come and speak because it would subject them to ridicule in the community. She wants none of that.

“I’m going to vote for the ordinance but people who disagree with the gun owners should not be beating them over the head just because they disagree,” Struthers said.

Deerfield Mayor Harriet Rosenthal has previously stated that she decided to take up the ban after the Feb. 14 school shooting in Parkland, Fla.

“Enough is enough,” Rosenthal said when the ban was first discussed. “Those students are so articulate just like our students. There is no place here for assault weapons.”

Deerfield bans assault weapons and high-capacity magazines

by Steve Sadin

I'd find secure, off-site storage and begin the process of moving. Then again: I'd never consider living in Illinois in the first place. Company for which I used to work had its headquarters there. When it downsized, which we all knew was coming, had they closed the facility here, instead of that one, I would have resigned before moving to IL. There are many states in which I'd live. Some more happily than others. IL is definitely not one of them.

Thankfully, Michigan has state preemption. If one of the leftist havens here passed such an ordinance it would have the life of a moth circling a bug zapper.
