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?

Doesn't change the Constitution or nullify our God given right to keep and bear arms. It just means that a handful of people in black robes chose not to confront making a decision in that case.

I sincerely hope the left doesn't push this to the point where The People are forced to take up the case.

Should it come to that, they will lose much worse than they can possibly imagine.
