Deerfield ILL outlaws semi-auto rifles, shotguns & some handguns in your home
Got a muzzle brake on your gun? You're an outlaw.
Pistol grip? You're an outlaw. "Protruding (anything that could be a) grip? You're an outlaw. Folding, telesopic or thumbhole stock? You're an outlaw. Barrel shroud? You're an outlaw. etc, etc. You're an outlaw. So if the bad guys from the southside know that Deerfield has become disarmed, what do you think the burglary and home invasion rate will be? Here's the text of the new law effective in 2 months: Text of Deerfield gun ban Here's an article from WGN on their take. Deerfield ILL outlaws semis in your home

Deerfield. Low crime.
And soon, nothing to defend themselves with but 1911's, and 10 shot Glocks, and 12 gauge shotguns, and hunting rifles. Last edited by Evan Thomas; April 4, 2018 at 12:10 PM. Reason: allusion to race. |

I was under the delusion that Ill. had state preemption on 'assault weapons' bans unless the 'ban' was enacted prior to 2013...

Interesting that the Chicago media mentioned nothing about preemption and that the law is unenforceable.

Interesting document/law. Not only active LEO is exempt but also retired. I don't recall that being done before - creating two distinct classes of citizens. |

I've edited or deleted several posts. Discuss without overt or covert allusions to race. Otherwise, expect consequences.

Deerfield town fathers certainly have a very broad brush when it comes to painting what an assault gun is. Enforcement should be interesting. Will they demand access to homes to inspect what the owner has for firearms?....

The San Antonio area just went through a wave of small towns surrounding or embedded in the city, taking OC for long arm laws off the books. They were challenged in a way that some saw as obnoxious but legal. State law forbid the local law.
It was the case that San Antonio itself had such a law and the cops said they would enforce despite the state laws. That changed. The reason for the SA law was that during the period that SKS rifles were dirt cheap, they were the gun of choice for gangs. The cops wanted to harass and bust gang members who drove around with them.

Deerfield borders Highland Park. Both are nice, peaceful towns.
Highland Park has already had a similar ban in place for at least a few years, and that ban has survived legal challenges. Any suit from the NRA or Guns Save Life sounds like a fundraising ploy. |

There is some discussion of state pre-emption laws not allowing this ban. However, I am not expert enough to comment on that validity.
The Highland ban still stands I am told as Scalia's prose in Heller was convincing to the lower court. Note that legislation proposed in Congress to negate state bans went nowhere as other priorities were paramount of the minds of the party in control.

There was some talk about the fact that Deerfield had an ordinance dealing with certain types of firearms prior to the IL preemption law of 2003. The IL law states that laws in place prior to the preemption law could stand and be amended, but no new laws could be passed. Deerfield is claiming that they only amended their existing law, even though this new law has some very new regulations in it, as a new law would be. That's what I've heard the new lawsuits brought by ISRA and NRA are about; preemption. The suits filed are not about 2nd amendment violations. If what I read is not correct, I hope someone will provide the correct information.

Finally some sanity! A judge today blocked the ordinance from going into effect: https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/...go-into-effect
The only rational ruling, because otherwise state preemption of local gun bans would be meaningless. |

Nice to see a judge in or around Chicago that has some sense.
