PUBLIC SAFETY

A. Consideration of Remanding to a Future Committee of the Whole Agenda the Discussion of

Enforcement of the Cook County Assault Weapon Ban Ordinance

Does this mean they weren't enforcing it before? I know Optics Planet just got smacked by them enforcing it.

 

Also confusing because a part of Northbrook is in Lake County.

We were working through some strategies should this happen in our village. If you are a Northbrook resident who wants to be involved in your local fight get in touch with me ASAP through the sites private messenger and I'd be happy to discuss the options we were considering. I'll be leaving on business so I need to be contacted before sunday. In fact it will be best to do it by phone given the time constraints.

 

In fact, I could set up a goto meeting call for tomorrow.

http://northbrookil.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=14&ID=1431&Inline=True

 

We need to make it clear to the village the determination of prohibited places is a power relegated to the state. Municipalities do not have the power to prohibit concealed carry on premises where alcohol is sold for on premises consumption beyond what is already in the statute - over 50% of revenue derived from sale of alcohol, special use permits, posted by private business owner.

I work in that whole area. If there is anything I can do to help (like filing a FOIA request or something) please let me know via PM

I am really tempted to go to one of these meetings and not be so polite, call them exactly what I believe they are.........

 

I firmly believe sometimes you need to be blunt and hit them hard, make them almost shocked that someone had the b@lls to call them out and smack them around a little

[evilbrownrifle]

I'm working up some materials as we speak. I also have to get on the road for a business trip and I'm trying to get that taken care of as well. It will be rough and way too wordy but I will leave what I create with Steve and Molly for your use. You really have to find 2-3 speakers PREFERABLY FROM THE VILLAGE to present the arguments. Time to stop being frickin doormats folks. Time to fight back.

 

And yeah, it's still good to be polite-ish BUT there is no need IMO to pretend this is about things it's not really about. Time to call them out on this in a polite but personalized manner.

Right on. I will help in any way I can. I am both a civil person and a honey badger when need arises. Sometimes I MAY push too far (as some have stated by a few of my tactics, such as trolling), but I realize that there is a time and a place for that. In front of a video recorded town hall is not one of those times. Call them out, but be restrained

 

Thanks for doing this, the more of us that get involved the better (I know you’ve been involved much longer and at a deeper level than I have regarding your area. You’re doing great).

How cn they legally do this? Isn't it contrary to the CC Act?

[Upholder]

How can they legally do this? Isn't it contrary to the CC Act?

 

They cannot legally do it. It is contrary to the CC Act. Do you think they care?

[lilguy]

When it comes to guns, anti pols pass the laws and see if they have the desired effect, regardless if they are lawfully doing so. Make a statement and scare gun owners. Let them push back in court. Let the tax payers cover the defence of their bet.

And the lawyers defending the lawsuits are cronies of the anti-gun politicians. Then you see why they REALLY passed that ordinance - crony enrichment.

[Patriots & Tyrants]

Keep in mind neighboring Northfield spent about 30 years fighting the widening of Willow road and the people never griped in any real numbers about it, no one will care how much it costs to fight a lost cause.

 

I drive through NB every day and will keep doing it, with a Glock 19 that has standard capacity magazines. Regardless of what happens.

[evilbrownrifle]

Here is a letter I developed for my village. Feel free to use it as a guide and send it to your trustees. Probably not a good idea to duplicate it exactly as more than one person should be sending these in.

 

I have other support materials for the meeting, all you have to do is ask and give me a email address. But I will be on the road so ASAP. These materials support the outline of the argumnets in this letter. It's up to you guys from here on out. Good luck.

 

 

[Your Intro/who you are etc. family involvement in the community etc.]

 

 

Obviously, there is a degree of gun control fever in the northern suburbs from Highland Park out though Deerfield.

 

It should be noted that while the safety argument is commonly made, the raw statistics do not bear out that school shootings, like the one at Parkland are numerous to where "something must be done." Quite the opposite in fact. A child is more likely to get struck multiple times by lightning than ever be involved in one of these attacks. As recently covered in the Washington Post:

 

 

School shootings are extraordinarily rare. Why is fear of them driving policy?

By David Ropeik March 8

David Ropeik is an instructor at Harvard and author of "How Risky Is It, Really? Why Our Fears Don’t Always Match the Facts."

 

The Education Department reports that roughly 50 million children attend public schools for roughly 180 days per year. Since Columbine, approximately 200 public school students have been shot to death while school was in session, including the recent slaughter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. (and a shooting in Birmingham, Ala., on Wednesday that police called accidental that left one student dead). That means the statistical likelihood of any given public school student being killed by a gun, in school, on any given day since 1999 was roughly 1 in 614,000,000. And since the 1990s, shootings at schools have been getting less common.

 

The chance of a child being shot and killed in a public school is extraordinarily low. Not zero — no risk is. But it’s far lower than many people assume, especially in the glare of heart-wrenching news coverage after an event like Parkland. And it’s far lower than almost any other mortality risk a kid faces, including traveling to and from school, catching a potentially deadly disease while in school or suffering a life-threatening injury playing interscholastic sports.

https://www.washingt...m=.8fef2dd3cfd2

 

 

As for Semi Automatic rifles themselves, according to the FBI out of 11,004 firearm related homicides in 2016 only 347 involved ANY type of rifle. You are almost twice as likely to be beaten to death by hands and feet (656); more likely to be beaten to death by a blunt object (472); and far more likely to be stabbed to death (1,604) than be killed by one of these rifles.

https://ucr.fbi.gov/...ata-table-4.xls

 

 

If safety were really the issue, even the "if it saves one life" argument, there are numerous restrictions that could be put in place that would be far more effective, such as prohibitions on backyard pools. These would also not impact civil rights.

 

Should the village pursue a ban on semi automatic rifles such facts will be made abundantly clear and those voting for the ban will be pressed to justify the safety angle. The political aspects with modern gun control will also be pushed to the forefront. It is no secret that gun control, and these gun control groups (everytown, MDA, etc.) are funded by progressive activist billionaires and are also being used this campaign season as GOTV efforts for the Democratic party. This is acknowledged in numerous pieces from such sources as the Washington Post and NYT.

 

While gun control activists use kids groups as "human shields," we in the pro second amendment community are not afraid to point out this tactic, show the money involved from Hollywood actors, a major Hollywood PR outfit, and California progressive billionaire Tom Steyer in organizing these kids and the canvassing activities for the democratic party that are firmly linked to their efforts. The list of sponsors for their recent DC march reads like a who's who of far left politics. We are living a very divisive times and these efforts only bring that divisiveness closer to home, neighbor to neighbor.

 

Also, Deerfield is being sued for its efforts and I believe that would be the case for Northbrook as well.

 

But again it is the divisiveness that would be the most regrettable part of such an action. Not all of your residents are part of the "Resist" movement. Not all of us are progressives. Even many Democrats in the village are not California or New Jersey style progressive Democrats. Will future board election center on who is the Republican candidate and who is the Democrat candidate? Will we have to worry about the village's carbon policy, or reproductive heath issues or sanctuary issues? Why not? If you go this route all bets are off for the future as you have shown the board to be politically active with national issues, dsupporing a specific political party, that are currently being debated at both the national and state level.

 

I would be happy to speak with you further, or any other trustees that would be open to our side of the argument. This could be "off the record" if required for an open conservation.

 

 

Sincerely,

Good stuff! Residents, please use this. I’d do it myself by will be ignored (different county and obviously not a resident). I’ll ask some pro-gun friends at work who are in the area (maybe even in Northbrook, not sure exactly what towns they all live in) to pass this on if they’re residents

[evilbrownrifle]

I gave a google drive link to the fact sheets I worked up to sapceman, steve and molly if anyone needs them. I would post it here but OPSEC and all that

Too bad there isn't a lawyer among us who could draft a lawsuit against the village and take it with to the meeting so when they pass this (and they will) he could stand up, explain the ordinance is in direct violation of the FCCL act and then drop the paperwork on the table in front of everyone and tell them they are being sued.

Northbrook Bans Bumps Stocks, Moves Toward Assault Weapons Ban

 

The village could become the first municipality to enforce Cook County's 24-year-old ban on assault-style weapons.

By Jonah Meadows, Patch Staff | May 23, 2018 11:07 pm ET | Updated May 24, 2018 1:25 am ET

 

Northbrook Bans Bumps Stocks, Moves Toward Assault Weapons Ban

NORTHBROOK, IL The Northbrook Village Board unanimously adopted a pair of modest gun control ordinances and directed staff to continue exploring how to become the first municipality in Cook County to enforce a 24-year-old ban on assault-style weapons. The two measures approved by trustees Tuesday ban accessories that make it easier to rapidly fire bullets and restrict most people from carrying concealed weapons where alcohol is served. Both new ordinances take effect early next month, and the board plans to further discuss how the village might enforce the county's gun ban at its June 12 meeting.

 

The problem for the village is Cook County is not enforcing and has never enforced its assault weapons ban, Village Attorney Steve Elrod told trustees. He said he was hoping to get some guidance from the county prosecutors and the sheriff's office about the ban while conducting research on behalf of the board, but they had no advice to provide. Patch has confirmed Elrod's assertion with the Cook County state's attorney's office, Cook County clerk of the circuit court, Cook County sheriff's office, the office of the Cook County board president.

 

"They simply were not and have not been enforcing the ordinance," Elrod said. "Therefore there's no historical practice, no procedural guidance, so basically we the village of Northbrook, if we choose to enforce the Cook County ordinance within our corporate limits, would be starting from scratch."

 

Nonetheless, Elrod said that he believes the county ordinance banning assault applies and is enforceable in Northbrook. In fact, he said, the village does not even have the option of opting out of the ordinance anymore because of state regulations restricting any new regulations on rifles that were not enacted before the end of a 10-day window in 2013.

 

Before instructing police to start writing tickets for violations of the ordinance, Elrod said there were several policy issues that would need to be worked out. They include what kind of penalty to assess, whether there would be any grace period for gun owners and where to prosecute the citations. (At the same May 22 meeting, Trustees also approved a new administrative hearing system, which functions an alternative to circuit court which could adjudicate violations of the Cook County ordinance banning assault-style weapons. It is projected to begin hearing cases in September.)

...

Deerfield's ordinance uses the same language and Highland Park's. It was enacted as an amendment to the village's existing regulations on firearm storage and takes effect June 13.

 

Deerfield's ban faces two lawsuits in county court alleging violations of state law, although neither claims it violates the Second Amendment. Both towns are also represented by Elrod, a partner at the firm Holland & Knight overseeing more than two dozen local governments clients.

 

Northbrook's New Ordinances

 

One of the two new ordinances took the form of an amendment to the village's liquor code mandating that businesses licensed to sell alcohol for consumption must post a sign showing that concealed guns are not allowed inside. State law requires any establishment that makes more than half of its revenue from alcohol sale post such a sign, but the changes extends those restrictions to any business where liquor is sold for consumption on premises.

 

The amendment was modeled closely on Chicago's municipal code, which has not been challenged in court. Both include exemptions for business owners and law enforcement. Northbrook's attorney said the change was not a restriction on licensed gun owners, but rather an extension of the village's existing regulations on business that sell alcohol.

 

"We acknowledge that the state law pre-empts our ability to regulate concealed carry card holders. We are not regulating those individuals," Elrod said. "We are regulating, as we have been regulating, our liquor licensees."

 

The other ordinance defines bump-stock and trigger crank devices and prohibits their possession or sale in the village. The devices allow for the rapid fire of a semiautomatic rifle and gained national prominence after several of the bump-fire stocks were found on guns used by a man in a Las Vegas hotel room to shoot hundreds of concertgoers in October 2017. Northbrook's ordinance uses language proposed by a Republican state representative soon after that massacre.

Northbrook's New Ordinances

"businesses licensed to sell alcohol for consumption must post a sign showing that concealed guns are not allowed inside.".

 

 

"We acknowledge that the state law pre-empts our ability to regulate concealed carry card holders. We are not regulating those individuals," Elrod said. "We are regulating, as we have been regulating, our liquor licensees."

 

...

Uhhhmmm.... Isn't this just a back handed way of doing the same thing? So no concealed carry in any restaurants in Northbrook period? Anyone going to sue them on this? I never go to Northbrook, but this is still bull.

[kevinmcc]

City attorney says the ban of concealed carry in places that sell liquor is based on a similar ordnance from city of Chicago.

 

 

The first speaker, his analogizes are so ignorant.

 

He claims bump stocks make guns into automatic weapons and since those are banned, then you can not vote against the ordnance.

 

He then claimed the gun and alcohol is bad combination.

 

 

Second speaker made good arguments.

 

Why have this ordnance unless there is a problem?

 

Business and property owners have rights and they have a choice to post if there are problems.

 

 

Third speaker is another set of ignorant analogies.

Made point that home invasions are occurring with gangs where there are 5 or 6 guys an they maybe on drugs.

Eighth speaker, applaud by the ordnance, they are ineffective feel good measure.

 

Upset that anyone can walk in to the school, fake security, security theater.

Twentieth speaker NRA member talks about blood in streets claim when concealed carry discussion.

 

Talks about bans, rifle, then shotguns, then pistol, etc.. because we have police.

 

But you have to wait for police and if police only have firearms we have a police state.

 

 

Twenty-first speaker makes point about now you are going to enforce a law you have not for 20 years?

 

Talks about mass killings where guns were not used one was arson (see Australia after gun ban).

 

Talks about easy access to materials to make explosives and instructions being available online.

 

Concealed carry ordinance is a solution to a problem that does not exist.

Damn you, auto-correct?

[kevinmcc]

If it's true that they intend to regulate the businesses, not CCLs, then the penalty in the case of a person with a legal firearm inside an establishment with a liquor license is that the business loses the liquor license.

The problem with the ordnance is they are regulating a business and that regulation is de facto regulation of concealed carriers.

 

The city attorney should be smart enough to know this should not hold up in court.

 

Just because Chicago does something stupid, you should not follow.

There's existing preemption case law where a village tried to get around preemption on healthcare by using zoning regulations. Village lost. This is no different.
