WLS-TV in Chicago reports the amendment to the village’s gun ordinance restricts firearms that village leaders define as assault weapons along with high-capacity magazines. That includes the AR-15, which has been used in mass shootings. The new law goes into effect June 13. Residents who don’t remove banned weapons by then face a fine of $1,000 a day. The ordinance is based on Highland Park’s high-powered weapons ban, which survived a 2015 legal battle that went to the U.S. Supreme Court. Deerfield Village Manager Kent Street said if more towns banned the weapons then it’s possible the state and federal government will too. Opponents of the ban say it makes Deerfield less safe.

Cold War Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 But, wouldn't it be great to make it legal in Deerfield for police to randomly search homes for weapons? How about tips from concerned citizens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
