Second Amendment Foundation

[DanTana]

The City of Deerfield, Illinois has voted on an assault weapons ban which passed Monday night "outlaws any weapon the village leaders deem 'assault weapons,' including AR-15s. But the ban also includes 'semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns with certain features.' Those who do not comply with the ordinance — which is set to take effect on June 13 — will face up to $1,000 fines per day. "The new ordinance also provides for confiscation and destruction of such firearms and their original capacity magazines," he continued. "What is particularly outrageous about this new law is that it levies fines of up to $1,000 a day against anyone who refuses to turn in their gun and magazines or move them out of the village by the time the ordinance takes effect in June. This certainly puts the lie to claims by anti-gunners that ‘nobody is coming to take your guns.''

Now the Second Amendment Foundation has already filed suit against the City, declaring the new ordinance illegal, stating "The lawsuit challenges the village ban under a 2013 amended state statute that declared 'the regulation of the possession or ownership of assault weapons are exclusive powers and functions of this State. Any ordinance or regulation, or portion of that ordinance or regulation, that purports to regulate the possession or ownership of assault weapons in a manner that is inconsistent with this Act, shall be invalid…'"

The reason I am posting this is to try to gain more awareness to the Second Amendment Foundation and they are a non-profit foundation. Any contribution over $50 is tax deductible. They are fighting against gun control across the nation.

Nobody is coming to get your guns yet. They say they will but it remains to be seen. Regardless....if I lived in that village my house would be for sale preferably to some liberal democrat transplant from Kalifornia.

Any village that would allow village elders such as these I guess deserves what they get.

I've often wondered if they ban high cap mags "again", and grandfather in those already out there, how do they tell which is which.

The insanity these days is well pretty insane.
