The Chicago suburb of Deerfield, Illinois, is giving residents 60 days to get rid of their “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines and empowering the police chief to confiscate them from those who refuse to give them up.
Deerfield previously allowed ownership of such firearms and magazines but had strict storage requirements in place for them. Now, the firearms and magazines will be illegal to posses in one’s home, even if properly stored.
The Chicago Tribune reports the “new ordinance prohibits the possession, sale and manufacturing of certain types of assault weapons and large capacity magazines within the village.” Those in violation of the ordinance will face fines of $250 to $1,000 a day.
Deerfield’s original “assault weapons” ban, including storage requirements. was instituted in 2013. The new ban is being put in place because of instances wherein “assault weapons” have been used criminally in Parkland, Florida, Sutherland Springs, Texas, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Orlando Florida. The ordinance warns that stock “assault weapons” are “customizable to become even more dangerous weapons of mass casualties and destruction.”

And that my friends is why the gov't wants your guns registered.
I'll just store them in my neighbor's home. You won't be going there.
Oh, except for the one I'll be using when Cheify sends his little indians over.
LMAO....Yeah, that should stop all the gangs, thugs, and criminals from using them in murders, hits, and roberies. Just what is needed, more gun laws in an already overloaded gun control city. Hows that working for you???
Maybe this is where the revolution will start!!! Hopefully, the residents ban together and fight back!!!! You need to, its time to, or say goodbye to your guns and life... because once guns are gone, you are at the mercy of the govt and anyone who wants to do you harm...
Try taking them off the CRIMINALS instead of picking on the LAW ABIDING CITIZEN you bunch of Coward liberals.
Dave T: Great comment above. Couldn't agree more. This is sickening and will not be respected or tolerated. If they think people will comply, they are in for a very rude awakening. Illinois is now an example of what not to do. Seems like that's a long term trend for that state. Coincidence that most of their problems are self inflicted? And run completely by liberals? I think not.
I hope many of the residents shoot and kill most of these cops when they come to steal their guns!
until they get the ones from the criminals first they need not ask
