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.

Dammit!

I thought I told you to “say no more”...

;-)

Seriously, though, it is depressing that so many people are willing to vote in totalitarian dictators to rule over them. The tyrants are not going to need to forcibly take over our governments, because the sheeple will eagerly give them all the power they want.

I think the citizens should pass a law stating all politicians should be required to have a colonic daily as they seem to be so full of it.

“The right to bear arms only meant muskets”?

Really? Then the government/military etc are going to get rid of all their automatic and semiautomatics and anything that isn’t a musket?

The article is not clear. Are they saying all guns of any type will be banned from personal use?
Or are they limiting the ban to certain types of guns?

Always go to the direct source. Here is the Deerfield ordinance:

How does village government know which resident owns which scary black rifle? Did they already require registration? Does Illinois require FOID or registration?

If not, local police will have to rely on anonymous tips or neighbors nursing grudges, which could cause dangerous SWATing incidents.

But the outcome will not be shrouded in mystery in this IT age. Gun owner arrested, beaten, or shot becomes national martyr for gun rights.

After reading my replies, I forgot what I was going to say.
So I’ll say this: If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.

According to Deerfield Village Manager Kent Street, the city ordinance was inspired by a similar ban in another Illinois town — Highland Park. In 2013, Highland enacted a ban that was challenged by one of the city’s residents and the Illinois State Rifle Association.

“The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that legislation constitutional and the U.S. Supreme Court let the decision stand when it declined to take up the appeal,” the Chicago Tribune reported.

How is this even remotely Constitutional?

Are they saying all guns of any type will be banned from personal use?

Does the ban include staple guns, even if registered?

Does the deputy marshall in town have to surrender his firearm too?

I think Illinois has a requirement for FOID, but currently does not have a registration requirement for individual firearms.

I think.
