Town Bypasses Constitution, US Citizens Given 60 Days to Turn in Guns Or Become Criminals
The Daily Sheeple ^ | 04/05/18 | Jack Burns

As the state promises gun rights activists they’re not coming for their guns, behind the scenes they’re pleading for it to happen. And now the feared gun grab is occurring. Residents in Deerfield, Illinois have 60 days to surrender their “assault weapons” or face fines of $1000 per day per gun.

The gun ban ordinance was passed on April 2nd with residents left with few choices of how to dispose of their valuable “assault weapons.” Upon careful reading of the ordinance, residents will be left with revolvers, .22 caliber “plinking” rifles, and double barrel shotguns to defend their homes and families from criminals who could care less about the law.

Fines for not disposing of the weapons range from $250 to $1000 per day per gun for those who choose not to comply with the city’s ordinance. While a fine may seem reasonable to some, as TFTP has reported on multiple occasions, failure to pay fines always results in police action. It is not far-fetched to predict major turmoil and arrests in the event of non-compliance.

One example of the so-called “assault weapon” is the Ruger 10/22 which can accept magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Even though the 10/22 is not listed in the list of guns the village wants to see banned, the gun cannot legally be possessed in the village.

Residents have been instructed to either sell their guns, transfer the ownership to someone who lives outside the village, surrender their guns to Deerfield’s sheriff, or begin paying the fines.

How big is Deerfield? They would be lucky to get more than a thimble of guns to be turned in.

Could not care less, in this context, about criminals. This is about defending their homes and families from THE GOVERNMENT!!!

So, where is the ACLU to protect the citizens from the people they elected? This should be as important a cause as their efforts in Skokie many years ago.

The problem with registration is that these yayhoos know where the registered weapons are.

The article is not clear. Are they saying all guns of any type will be banned from personal use?
Or are they limiting the ban to certain types of guns?

Can’t the Governor or even a Mayor declare overturn this law if they so chose to do it?

Joel Siegel, a resident of Lincolnwood, warned the village’s residents that governments all across the world have moved to confiscate guns then turned around and ran roughshod over the people. He said, “There’s an ancient and honored American tradition called disobeying an unjust law…I have urged (people) to listen to their conscience and if so moved do not obey this law.”

Deerfield Mayor Harriet Rosenthal implied the students from the local high school helped sway her decision to bring about the ordinance. “Enough is enough,” Rosenthal said adding, “Those students are so articulate just like our students. There is no place here for assault weapons.”

The sheriff and police chief should tell the Mayor that they took an oath to defend the constitution.

If she and her liberal city council wants to seize legal guns, they can do it by themselves.

“This is our fight…This is our generation’s fight. We’re going to keep fighting and this is part of it. Change happens gradually step by step. The fight does not end at the borders of our village.,” Kharasch said.

Banning all guns owned by law abiding people is their goal and he admits it.

Makes one wonder if this is a test case to measure the level of resistance offered.

They made their decree, now let then try to enforce it!

Cops don’t work for free. Keep that in mind when the people of Deerfield stop paying taxes to support NAZI thugs.

They’re being required to ‘surrender’ their personal property.

Interesting description. Google has the definition of surrender as ‘cease resistance to an enemy or opponent and submit to their authority.’ It sounds like the correct description of what is happening.

Amazing how these US citizens will become law breakers simply by exercising their rights as US citizens.
