Deerfield bans assault weapons and high-capacity magazines

Owners of assault weapons living in north suburban Deerfield have until June 13 to remove the firearms from within village limits or face daily fines after a ban was approved Monday night.

The Village Board of Trustees unanimously approved a ban on certain types of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, amending a 2013 ordinance that regulated the storage of those items.

The new ordinance prohibits the possession, sale and manufacturing of certain types of assault weapons and large capacity magazines within the village, according to the ordinance. One change from the law as it was originally discussed exempts retired police officers from the ban, according to Village Manager Kent Street.

NRA joins fight against Deerfield’s weapons ban

"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.”

“We are going to fight this ordinance, which clearly violates our member's constitutional rights, and with the help of the NRA I believe we can secure a victory for law-abiding gun owners in and around Deerfield,” said John Boch, president of Guns Save Life, in a statement.

As I have mentioned before, assault weapons is a slogan and a lie.  An accurate term for what is being referred to by that term is 20th Century arms, because the guns that are still allowed (for now) are all pre-20th Century designs, and because they are arms instead of things used just for fun (as in sporting purpose).  The purpose of these edicts is to disarm the American people through obsolescence.

Could 19th Century arms be next?  Why not?  Once we have been disarmed of 20th Century arms it really doesn't matter.  And you don't need a repeating rifle to hunt deer.  You don't need ball and cap either; if flintlock was good enough for the first Americans it's good enough for us.  And as long as some of us can have some kind of rifle, the American people haven't been disarmed, right?

We should not be using the enemy's slogans, except to point out the lie in them.  We should be referring to what is being targeted by these illegal edicts as what they are: 20th Century arms.  Making the truth known is the best counter-propaganda, and that makes getting the truth out the best strategy to use in defending the Republic from those levying war against it.
