A Lake County Circuit Court judge ruled Friday that the village of Deerfield overstepped its authority last year when it enacted a ban on assault weapons five years after the Illinois legislature declared such regulations the exclusive power of the state.
Judge Luis Berrones issued a permanent injunction blocking the village from enforcing its ordinance. In the ruling, Berrones wrote that the plaintiff gun owners have “a clearly ascertainable right to not be subjected to a preempted and unenforceable ordinance” that prohibits possession of assault weapons, imposes financial penalties for keeping them and allows their property to be confiscated.
Deerfield officials said they are reviewing the ruling with their legal team and exploring options including an appeal to the Illinois Appellate Court.

yeah someone pointed out it wasn’t about constitution- i sped read the article and thought it was- you’re right, they still allow themselves, as a state, the ‘right’ to infringe- just like NY infringed-
Or read another way, “how can we create a NZ shooting massacre here in Deerfield to achieve our gun ban agenda?”
With “hitler” in the White House and “he might refuse to leave” if by some small chance he loses in 2020, Americans are going to need their guns. The jackass jockeys are having a full retard moment trying to take guns away from the American people. LOL.
Deerfield is comprised mostly of well-off, white liberals.
No. They just made them look silly. (Mandatory pink paint is probably next.)
The Illinois case is different in that a town decided all on its own to virtue signal.
ARs of all kinds are "common use for traditionally lawful purposes" so I'm waiting for the SC to throw all of this nonsense out.
Maybe the judge needs a call from the pm of NZ jackarinda whatever her name is.
I presume that the community is not paying for it. Bloomberg is fronting the money for lawyers, I imagine.
It was a hail Mary to begin. Unless they planned to demo-search every home, people weren’t going to comply.
DuPage County, once a bastion of conservativism.
Now being diluted by the left.
Like too much mayo on a sandwich, pressured into the collar counties by ever increasing taxes.
I hate to admit it but on an anonymous forum, I can let it out. I now have rabid libs across the lane from me!
And a growing number of crypto libs that added $500.00 to my annual tax bill for the teachers! Average pay at the local HS over 100k!!!
So, what else is new?
“ Average pay at the local HS over 100k!!!”
Fully 2/3 of my DuPage County property tax bill goes to County and municipal pension plans including the teachers.
It’s maddening.

“Deerfield officials” should read “nitwit Deerfield losers who haven’t read and don’t respect the Constitution”
The gun-banning Illinois Nazis suffer a defeat. The next step is to vote out of office every one of these leftists. If you can’t do that, you’re not trying hard enough.
And after these Illinois Nazis are voted out of office, cut off their ability to buy food, gas and clothes. Give them one week to vacate their homes. Then cut off their electricity and water.
I’m not advocating anything unusual. Ostracizing Tory traitors was a common tactic used by our founders in 1775 and beyond.
Bob, this is Illinois, not New York.
“? I know the article is abotu illinois- I was making hte comment i think NY banned them too- so if it’s not constitutional in ill- why is it not constitutional in NY too?”
You should have said so in your original post to avoid confusion.
“This merely means that the legislature of Illinois reserves to itself the power to infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.”
Well, that’s certainly an interesting opinion.
How will the fatty legislators infringe on your rights to own and possess weapons? Will the fat piggies go door-to-door and confiscate your rifles and pistols? Have the fat-ass legislators been trained to bust down doors?
Tell us what “power” the weenie Illinois legislators have “reserved” onto their weak asses.
Nothing. The people who elected them will pay the legal costs though. Then reelect them.
ah ok i thought NY outright banned all AR-15’s- must be just the amount of ammo the magazines hold and silly stuff like stock grip & such then?
