Is it time for SCOTUS to become involved in this important Constitutional issue?

Good luck enforcing it.
The ordinance empowers the town’s police chief to confiscate the assault weapons of anyone charged under the ordinance. Owners found in violation can be fined up to $1,000 a day, according to the ordinance.
It would be cheaper and infinitely more effective to string the ba$tard$ up.
[[or modify the guns so they’re no longer considered assault weapons.]]
And just what exactly would that entail? Nothing on the guns make them into a true fully automatic assault weapon
[[Owners found in violation can be fined up to $1,000 a day, according to the ordinance.]]
And here we have the real reason for the ban- money money money- as well as turning law abiding citizens into felons who can never own a gun of any kind again in their life if they are caught with an ‘assault’ weapon
It is a sad irony that the ones on this 'board' would not be the first victims of their devilish antiConstitution foolery. Where is MS13 when they could be useful?
“Is it time for SCOTUS to become involved in this important Constitutional issue?”
I believe we need to endure the local assaults on the 2nd and hope we get another SC pick. I do not want THIS SC to hear any of these. The last 2nd case that went the SC went 5-4 and Kennedy was VERY wobbly. We could easily lose the 2nd in this atmosphere.
Definition of an assault weapon is????
Nazism is here alright.
Beta testing of selected Left leaning communities with a grant (bribe) by a Soros connected foundation.
My prediction is the Left will continue to beta test in local communities until they get a win. They need to get the off shore bank account and right councilmen to bribe.
BTW, they will also need to pay off the police.
I think they will go for a very narrow ban and then carefully select a few rotten apple gun owners to pick on and go for the arrest and siezure. With proposals to prevent those simply accused of mental illness (by ex-spouses and Leftist neighbors) from owning guns, they can select their targets. Then, take the story nationally and proclaim the wisdom of selected gun confiscation. After that, the selection criteria will progressively broaden.
That’s why we have to jealously protect our 4th amendment rights and restrict government collection of medical data w/o probable cause of a crime.
Now that ought to be quite a trick if there is no detailed list of all supposed 'assault' weapons attributes that could be modified.
I’m thinking Void for Vagueness is the first line of defense on this one. How are they defining “assault weapon” and how one modifies it so that it is no longer an “assault weapon”?
My AR-15 identifies as MS-13.
Any talk of confiscation is bigoted.

Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 (1886)
While acts of a de facto incumbent of an office lawfully created by law and existing are often held to be binding from reasons of public policy, the acts of a person assuming to fill and perform the duties of an office which does not exist de jure can have no validity whatever in law.
An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation as inoperative as though it had never been passed.
If the police enforce this ordinance, they should be fired... the Deerfield Board should be hanged.
