The Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) and Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) filed a lawsuit against the Village of Deerfield Thursday morning, April 5, 2018, executive director Richard Pearson announced.
"This legal action is a challenge to the Defendant’s Ordinance O-18-06, passed on April 2, 2018, which bans assault weapons (used specifically as that term is defined in O-18-06) within the Defendant’s municipal limits," he wrote in the ISRA's weekly website report.
The suit was filed In the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit Lake County, Illinois, Chancery Division.
The group Guns Save Life – with the help of the National Rifle Association – is also suing Deerfield, WGN reported.
"Every law-abiding villager of Deerfield has the right to protect themselves, their homes, and their loved ones with the firearm that best suits their needs,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of NRA-ILA, in a statement. “The National Rifle Association is pleased to assist Guns Save Life in defense of this freedom.”
In addition to the news about the lawsuit, the ISRA called on members to call their lawmakers on five gun bills the Illinois General Assembly may be addressing in the next few weeks.
The Deerfield dementos unanimously approved the ordinance and created a penalty fine of $1000/day. This is the “best” of what they have ever passed???
Oust all of them! Impeach/recall all of them!
Maybe some of them brush their teeth with gunpowder since they seem to be shooting off their mouths!
Lotsa people are fed up with Deerfield politicians!

The Democratic Party and their appointed judges are out to destroy the 2nd Amendment.
So far SCOTUS seems not to want to rule on such decisions as city and state overreach.
Eventually SCOTUS will have to stop being so cowardly and rule. If Trump can appoint some more SCOTUS judges the scenario may not be so bad.
But you can count on this, if enough liberal judges are appointed they will take the case and destroy the 2nd Amendment.
Unfortunately, that will never happen. Wealthy Deerfield is so leftist in its voting behavior, the idea of a popular groundswell against them is about as probable as that happening in Berkeley, CA —

The solution will have to be in the courts – and it may have to go up to SCOTUS.
I’m curious as to how the “wealthy” residents of Deerfield feel about having to pay to defend their new ordinance in court?
Around 1926 the Mexican Government started to kill Catholics.
Mexico had around 2,400 Catholic Priests. At the end they had around 340 Priests. Margret Sanger Founder of Planned Parenthood with the KKK came to support the Mexican government Killing.
Now the equivalent of the population of the village of Deerfield. 18,000 babies are killed every week in USA. Every year Planned Parenthood kills the same number of babies as the population of the city of St. Louis.
Madigan, Cullerton and Rauner support killing of babies with Illinois taxes.
