AR owners face a $1,000 fine per day if they refuse to cooperate. (Photo: CBS News<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

A suburban town near Chicago voted on Monday<\/a> to ban the sale, possession, and manufacture of \u201cassault weapons\u201d and \u201clarge capacity magazines.\u201d Not to increase public safety but to \u201cincrease the public\u2019s sense of safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

The town of Deerfield, Illinois, will fine violators $1000 per day until they turn in the rifle or remove it from town limits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe possession, manufacture and sale of assault weapons in the Village of Deerfield is not reasonably necessary to protect an individual’s right of self-defense or the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia,\u201d the ordinance<\/a> reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssault weapons are dangerous and unusual weapons which are commonly associated with military or antipersonnel use,\u201d Deerfield Village authorities continue, referring to the most popular and commonplace rifle in America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They define \u201cassault weapon\u201d in the usual nonsensical manner.\u00a0 But they also include a laundry list of additional weapons now deemed unclean. These include semi-automatic rifles with a fixed stock capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition, pistol-caliber carbines, semi-automatic shotguns with pistols grips, shotguns with revolving cylinders, and AR-15 parts kits.<\/p>\n

They even provide a helpful list of the now banned firearms, which includes AK, AKM, AKS, AK-47, AK-74, ARM, MAK90, Misr, NHM 90, NHM 91, SA 85, SA 93, VEPR, AR-10, AR-15, Bushmaster XM15, Armalite M15, Olympic Arms PCR, AR70, Calico Liberty, Dragunov SVD Sniper Rifle, Dragunov SVU, Fabrique NationalFN\/FAL, FN\/LAR, FNC, Hi-Point Carbine, HK-91, Kel-Tec Sub Rifle, SAR-8, Sturm, Ruger Mini-14, and more.<\/p>\n

Town leaders see their ordinance as a possible model for state and national legislation.<\/p>\n

“We hope that our local decision helps spur state and national leaders to take steps to make our communities safer,” Deerfield Mayor Harriet Rosenthal\u00a0said in a press release<\/a>, after the ban on assault weapons passed unanimously.<\/p>\n

They also see their legislation as the first step in effecting a \u201ccultural change\u201d that \u201ccommunicates the normative value that assault weapons should have no role or purpose in civil society in the Village of Deerfield.\u201d<\/p>\n

Illinois already requires anyone purchasing a firearm or ammunition to hold a valid Firearms Owners Identification Card. But the state is perhaps most famous for Chicago, a city with both historically strict gun laws as well as terrible crime rates.<\/p>\n

The Village of Deerfield is home to approximately 18,686 people<\/a> living in 6,518 homes<\/a>. The population is 94.7 percent white<\/a>\u00a0and has a median household income<\/a> of $143,729. It\u2019s also literally surrounded by country clubs:<\/p>\n

Deerfield, IL, where it is better to feel safe than to be safe.<\/p><\/div>\n

Legal challenges to similar local ordinances have been met with resistance. A resident of nearby suburb Highland Park challenged the constitutionality of a similar ban 2013 but was defeated in court.<\/p>\n

This is yet another example<\/a> of de facto confiscation.\u00a0 Forcing citizens to give up lawfully owned property is confiscation.\u00a0 It is infringement.\u00a0 And, as Alan Korwin recently noted, infringement is illegal<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
