Cue Deerfield school shooting.......

Let's look at this.

Deerfield, Illinois has a median income of $107,000. Located 25 miles north of Chicago. Total area of the town is 5.6 square miles. Top employer is Walgreens. Estimated population, 19,000.

It's a rich suburb of one of the most violent cities in the U.S.. Banning semi-auto won't amount to anything. Seems the rich are getting more scared by the day. I wish them luck on the city ordinance.

I hope that’s challenged in court

I am assuming Illinois doesnt have pre-emption laws?

"Law enforcement and retired law enforcement are exempt from the ban."

Pretty much the precise reason why the 2nd Amendment exists in first place.

This was my first question as well.

Is tarring and feathering considered cruel and unusual? Cause that is what’s needed in that town.

Think this through with me guys...this coming from a place where you have to have a state issued special FOID card just to buy a box of 22 ammo..

There is no hope ....them & feed em fishheads...

I must have done something bad in a past life because God will not let me leave the communist state of IL. The state is passing all types of crazy laws that they believe will stop "gun crime". The problem is 90% of the shootings in IL take place in Chicago. So the politicians from Chicago that control IL impose there will on the rest of the state. Mean while the bangers on the West & South Side could careless about the law.

Those politicians and the gang bangers are in cahoots

You are absolutely correct Bill! It has always been that way in Chicago...going back to the Outfit

I'll tell you tomorrow if the check comes in or not

Based on this it sounds like air guns would be banned too. Something like an FX Impact big bore air rifle looks similar to an AR, is black and has a 16 round capacity. But a Red Ryder BB gun in co2 would fit that bill too.

I would be interested in the answer to this also. I read somewhere that they do - if so I'm not sure how this stands a prayer of holding up. But it also seems that Chicago can have its own set of restrictions, so I don't know.

In any event, judges are now literally making it up as they go so what does it matter what the law actually says?

And if this holds up in Illinois, what's to stop a certain lunatic liberal city in Texas (/cough Austin cough/) from following suit and challenging it here?

Another question is does Illinois have a gun registry? How else will they know who has these things and doesn't turn them in?

This will not end well.

Fairfax, Va. — The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) today announced support for a lawsuit brought by Guns Save Life challenging the Village of Deerfield, Illinois’ gun confiscation ordinance. The lawsuit challenges Deerfield’s recent attempt to criminalize so-called “assault weapons” and “high capacity magazines” within village limits.

I am getting sick of this "white water fountains" and "colored water fountains" crap.
