It was appealed to the supreme court, but was it ever heard?

 

[Deplorable Me]

The village idiots have multiplied.

What the hell is this?
"The new law goes into effect on June 13. Residents who do not remove the banned weapons from their homes by that date face a fine of $1,000 per day."

Does the village board have a secret database with a list of residents that own the newly banned "weapons" and have a way to check them off the naughty list when they remove them?
How in the hell do they think they can enforce this? You sending the locals door to door to check every residence?

More useless, feel good, knee-jerk, ignorant posturing.

Ummm.....probably illegal and unenforceable. Plus...moronic!

Sir...do you have one of these weapons?

Umm...no.

Well...we have proof you used one at a range in a neighboring village.

Umm...it was a rental.

Someone told us you still have one.

No I don't.

We want to search your house.

No.

We'll get a warrant.

From a state court for a local ordinance violation? Go for it.

Now the Left is adding gems like this:

Assault weapon means:

(1) A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a large capacity magazine detachable or otherwise and one or more of the following:
(A) Only a pistol grip without a stock attached;
(B) Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand;
(C) A folding, telescoping or thumbhole stock;
(D) A shroud attached to the barrel, or that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel; or
(E) A muzzle brake or muzzle compensator
​

SO...any MSR with a handguard will be banned. Even the Ares SCR would be an "assault weapon" because of the standard upper with hanguard.

This is getting crazy, folks.

If they only put this much energy into fucking with the lives of real criminals what a better world it would be

So you have a barrel shroud instead of a stock big whoop. Morons.

Agreed. But, the rifle with the handguard is still deemed illegal.

Can't wait to see AR platform rifles without any pistol-style grips (including spurs), only FRS stocks, and no handguards being fired at ranges by shooters using upper-mounted scopes and oven mitts.

OK, so I think you just described a NY CMP Service Rifle match. Or maybe a Hi-Power match.

Ban, ban, ban, ban , ban, everything .... I just don't give a fuck anymore.

 

[ProgSpear]

Actually when I first read this, I was afraid they were referring to Deerfield, NY. That's just too close to home.

 

[Shadow2]

wasn't the NRA shooting down town ordinances all over the country .. so how is this one town getting away with BS?

 

[96coal449]

The NRA declared the town a "lost cause."

Apparently a similar ordinance was upheld. So, Deerfield did the same thing. Just like all bans now look like the SAFE Act (with even more restrictions).

This is why national organizations MUST challenge these laws wherever they spring up. Otherwise, these laws metastasize into heretofore 2A-friendly jurisdictions.

From the article:

Deerfield's new ordinance also prohibits high-capacity magazines. The ordinance is patterned after Highland Park's ban on high-powered weapons.

Highland Park's ordinance survived a 2015 legal battle that went to the United States Supreme Court."

"If Highland Park, if Deerfield, if more towns say no to this type of weapon, maybe the state of Illinois says no," said Deerfield Village Manager Kent Street. "Maybe the Federal government says no."​

 

[redtail]

This is why the courts are the most important piece on the chess board. All things being good and right this town "board" should lose their collective asses in a lawsuit.

 

[Shadow2]

None of these went to the supreme court ... nothing has gone to SCOTUS in 10 years, I'm trying to hunt down precedent where local laws failed constitutional muster i know i came across them in the past.

Safe act as a state law ... if mempry serves local ordinences could not supereceed state laws when it came

[BDinPutnam]

SCOTUS (with Scalia still on it) refused to take the Highland Park case. It "went" to the court and couldn't get enough Justices on board to actually bring the case in front of the court for consideration.

Highland *should* have been the case that unraveled SAFE.
