The gun-banning strategy of the village of Deerfield, Illinois, to outlaw semi-automatic firearms, which it calls “assault weapons,” as well as “large-capacity magazines,” has failed yet again.
This time, the failure resulted from the ruling of a state appellate court, which Deerfield’s politicians had asked to overturn a lower court’s permanent injunction against the city’s unconstitutional anti-gun ordinance. The higher court said it didn’t have jurisdiction, so the lower court’s ruling stands.
“This effectively shuts down any further effort by the Deerfield administration to encumber law-abiding citizens in the community who own the kinds of legal firearms city officials want to ban,” said Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan M. Gottlieb. “We were delighted to once again be working with our good friends at the Illinois State Rifle Association. Together with David Sigale, we make a pretty good team.
“But this was always about much more than teamwork,” he explained. “We’re talking about the right of honest citizens to live without fear of suddenly being turned into criminals by an overzealous government that arbitrarily decides to prohibit possession of a perfectly legal firearm, purchased in accordance with applicable state and federal laws, because of political correctness.”
The ruling came from the Second District Court that dismissed Deerfield’s attempt to challenge a previously issued permanent injunction against the town’s bans.
SAF was joined in the case by the Illinois State Rifle Association – its partner in the landmark 2010 U.S. Supreme Court victory in McDonald v. City of Chicago – on behalf of Deerfield resident Daniel Easterday.

The NRA was noticeably AWOL on this. Yet again.
L
USMC to now carry the Ruger 10-22..?
Ping
Mrs. rktman is in the USMC now?
The reason they fail is that the right answer for liberals is a total gun ban. Anything short of that gets push-back from the extremes of the group.
Squirrels are getting to be a problem at Camp Lejuene?
Wow!
Northbrook better look out! All those angry gun toating suburbanites ready to pour over the county line!
The once the feral hogs get there they’ll be happy to have the good citizens of Deerfield armed!

(They won’t have as much running room with the trucks as they do in West Texas! If on foot you really need those large capacity Semi automatics sayes the guy who does not hunt!)
Northbrook better look out!
They are already looking out and arming up!
My sister lives in Northbrook, and last week a coyote jumped on her back porch and grabbed their cat!
She was screaming, yelling and throwing things!
Somehow the cat was released, but too late. All nine lives used up. Very sad.
Now she has a baseball bat and a shovel handy.
No DuPage reports of feral hogs, yet.
A neighbor hunts them in Illinois near Rock Island.
They are here and on the move.
