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.

ACLU now stands for Atheists, Criminals and Lawyers United. Nothing to do with American, or Civil, or Liberty.
Did you leave the alt left radical extremist judges?
likely, but any one in that state other than liberals should join the exodus.
Uncontested third term in office.
I considered that but went to the Village of Deerfield’s website. It’s no joke, unfortunately.
Incorrect and lazy reporting. Bolt guns are allowed. There needs to be concise, accurate reporting of the impacts of this ordinance, which are substantial.
Good. Let them push gun grabbing further and further so voters can see how irrational it is.
The lawsuit was filed today by Illinois State Rifle Assn. and 2nd Amendment Foundation.
That’s a good point. The Deerfield ban appears to be modeled after, if not worded the same, as the Highland Park ban which the supreme court refused to hear.
I used to send them some money and you just reminded me that I need to do so again. They are a great outfit.
Thanks for the link.
