Town Bypasses Constitution, US Citizens Given 60 Days to Turn in Guns Or Become Criminals
The Daily Sheeple ^ | 04/05/18 | Jack Burns

Posted on 04/05/2018 10:39:59 AM PDT by Enlightened1

As the state promises gun rights activists they’re not coming for their guns, behind the scenes they’re pleading for it to happen. And now the feared gun grab is occurring. Residents in Deerfield, Illinois have 60 days to surrender their “assault weapons” or face fines of $1000 per day per gun.

The gun ban ordinance was passed on April 2nd with residents left with few choices of how to dispose of their valuable “assault weapons.” Upon careful reading of the ordinance, residents will be left with revolvers, .22 caliber “plinking” rifles, and double barrel shotguns to defend their homes and families from criminals who could care less about the law.

Fines for not disposing of the weapons range from $250 to $1000 per day per gun for those who choose not to comply with the city’s ordinance. While a fine may seem reasonable to some, as TFTP has reported on multiple occasions, failure to pay fines always results in police action. It is not far-fetched to predict major turmoil and arrests in the event of non-compliance.

One example of the so-called “assault weapon” is the Ruger 10/22 which can accept magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Even though the 10/22 is not listed in the list of guns the village wants to see banned, the gun cannot legally be possessed in the village.

Residents have been instructed to either sell their guns, transfer the ownership to someone who lives outside the village, surrender their guns to Deerfield’s sheriff, or begin paying the fines.

They want total control. If staple guns are perceived as a threat, yes.

I hear what you’re saying. Those Deputies would have second thoughts when they started worrying about getting home safely.

You’re making an assumption there would be a home.

“enough is enough”

What a powerful argument.

It must have taken half a life time to come up with that?

When staple guns are outlawed, only outlaws will be able to attach “Have You Seen This Cat?” posters to utility poles and community bulletin boards...

Molon labe!

A few dead city council critters would put a stop to that nasty anti-American fascism.

They’re being required to ‘surrender’ their personal property.

Interesting description. Google has the definition of surrender as ‘cease resistance to an enemy or opponent and submit to their authority.’ It sounds like the correct description of what is happening.

Amazing how these US citizens will become law breakers simply by exercising their rights as US citizens.

Push comes to shove, I’d bet $-2-donuts the Courts would rule vs. 5th A., rather than re-affirm the govt criminality vs. 2nd (having to define that a ‘ban’ *IS* an infringement)

Please don’t quote Google here, for ANY definitions. Google is the ENEMY! For legal terms, use Black’s Law Dictionary. For non-legal terms, use Oxford.
