“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.”
Wow, and I thought all the Legislative Morons were in Sacramento! So they give local entities a “ten day window” to subvert a new law before it takes effect? That’s bat $hit crazy!
“BTW, they will also need to pay off the police.”
That should be easy in Illinois!
Yup!
Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 (1886)
While acts of a de facto incumbent of an office lawfully created by law and existing are often held to be binding from reasons of public policy, the acts of a person assuming to fill and perform the duties of an office which does not exist de jure can have no validity whatever in law.
An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation as inoperative as though it had never been passed.
If the police enforce this ordinance, they should be fired... the Deerfield Board should be hanged.
