Deer Field, IL Weapons/Magazine ban

[jgressley2003]

But if we could save just one child, wouldn’t it be worth it??

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I guess they changed it as originally debated to exempt retired LEO's from the ordinance. If "assault weapons" are death machines and "only good for killing as many people as possible" why would a retired cop need one?

Everybody needs a hobby.

This cannot be allowed to stand, how can a local municipality just eliminate someone's constitutional rights with a vote and pen stroke?

Limitations are constitutional. They are not eliminating the right.

Post-Heller, as a society we are exploring the permutations of what restrictions are acceptable or not.

Yep. I'd like to think that I have contributed to their financial woes since I put that corrupt sh*t hole in my rear-view mirror 6 years ago, taking my exorbitant property tax $$ with me.

Deerfield bans assault weapons and high-capacity magazines - Deerfield Review

These folks are off their rocker. Only the bad guys will have assault weapons.

Can we build a wall along the Illinois border?

Sounds like an invitation for the hood rats of Englewood to visit the northern suburbs for some easy pickin'.

Isn't the standing case from the same Appellate Court going to serve to sustain this law/ordinance? I thought this one is similar to the other burb over there that SCOTUS refused to take up.

This one will hinge on the fact that they "ammended" their ordinance after the state codified in 2013 that AWB's are the purview of the state. Existing bans were allowed to stand, but Deerfield is working off the notion that because we had an ordinance regarding storage of assault weapons, we're allowed to modify that ordinance and it doesn't run afoul of the state preemption.

The state legislature is debating a bill that would in part remove the preemption and allow municipalities to ban assault weapons. If this bill becomes law, the case would likely be dismissed.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hey lawyer types. What does it take to get a case to get looked at by the courts when a similar case went through the court previously?

...but the state preemption statute was drafted full of holes.

A mere oversight by the Illinois legislature, I'm sure.

I have been reading up on the 2nd Amendment lately. Ironically I ran across this piece from the Illinois State Bar Association. One of the best written opinions on the original intent of the 2nd Amendment.

So, assuming that there is no registration per se in Illinois outside of Chicago, how would they know who has these guns and who does not? How would they know who to go after? FOID cards? Or do they plan to search every house in the town? Wouldn't they have to search every house of every resident in order to determine who owns such weapons? Wouldn't this be a violation of the 4th Amendment? Isn't this a totally non-enforceable law from the start, simply because they really don't know who owns what?

Filing a lawsuit. That will get it in front of a judge. How long the suit lasts, now there's the issue.

The issue will be how similar the previous case was to the present one including the state statutes in place at the time and how the ordinances were drafted and adopted. That a previous case found an "assault weapon" ban constitutional is not the same as finding that the ban in this case was properly enacted.
