Judge throws out Deerfield's assault weapons ban

A Lake County Circuit Court judge ruled Friday that the village of Deerfield overstepped its authority last year when it enacted a ban on assault weapons five years after the Illinois legislature declared such regulations the exclusive power of the state. Judge Luis Berrones issued a permanent...

 

...The judge held off ruling on one count of the Guns Save Life lawsuit contending the villages ordinance allowing confiscation of assault weapons represented an unconstitutional seizure of property. A status hearing on that count is set for May 3.

Village Statement on Assault Weapons Ban Court Ruling

Updated March 22, 2019

The Village of Deerfield issues the following statement regarding the March 22, 2019, court ruling on the assault weapons ban ordinance:

 

"The Village of Deerfield and our legal team are closely reviewing the ruling entered today and all options available, including the right to appeal the decision to the Illinois Appellate Court. On the positive side, the judge denied the plaintiffs claims of a takings violation and of a wildlife statute violation. With respect to the remainder of the decision, it appears that the judge focused less on Deerfields actions and more on the actions of the Illinois State Legislature back in 2013. The judge took issue with the way in which the State Legislature drafted the State statute, and he read into the statute a complete preemption of home rule authority to regulate assault weapons. This unprecedented interpretation of State legislative action and intent make this case ripe for appeal. We are thankful for the continued pro bono services provided by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and Mr. Christopher Wilson, partner of the Chicago office of Perkins Coie. We continue to believe that these weapons have no place in our community and that our common-sense assault weapon regulations are legal and were properly enacted. In the meantime, however, we will abide by the courts ruling and continue to not enforce our Ordinance.

As a Deerfield resident I am so thankful to Daniel E., the ISRA, SAF, Guns Saves Lives and everyone else that led the fight. Think I will be opening my wallet a bit tonight to support those groups.
So when are you going to march into the village hall and demand they return your AR?

God bless Judge Berrones for upholding the Constitution and standing up for freedom and people's rights and against this Conspiracy to deprive people of their rights with lies and propaganda.

 

No such thing as "assault weapons" which was coined by Hitler for propaganda and is being used for propaganda to disarm Americans. Semi-automatic rifles are the most popular and commonly used and are made for civilians and the ATF defines assault weapons as automatic.

 

Semi-automatic pistols will be banned next as "assault weapons" if the big lie stands. Our side should not call rifles "assault weapons".

Residents did not have to surrender any weapons since there was an injunction before the law could take effect.

"This unprecedented interpretation of State legislative action and intent make this case ripe for appeal." Unprecedented? Que? It was the entire intent of the preemption clause from the beginning.

He didn't. He said they missed their window to ban, otherwise the ban would be OK according to him.

 

I don't think that was his ruling. He didn;'t rule one way or another on the Constitutionality of the ban. He didn't have to, as it always clearly violates preemption. Not ruling one way or another is not saying the ban was OK.

Deerfield to appeal court ruling blocking its assault weapons ban

...Village of Deerfield plans to appeal a judges March 22 ruling permanently blocking the village from enforcing a ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines.

In a short statement Tuesday, the village announced that Mayor Harriet Rosenthal and the village board had unanimously agreed April 15 to appeal the ruling of Lake County Circuit Court Judge Luis Berrones to the Illinois Appellate Court.

In that ruling, Berrones contended that Deerfield overstepped its authority in April 2018 when it enacted a ban on assault weapons after the Illinois legislature had declared such regulations to be the exclusive power of the state.

Gun rights groups that filed suit against Deerfield include Guns Save Life, which has the backing of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action; the Illinois State Rifle Association and the Second Amendment Foundation...

The Village of Deerfield’s appeal has been dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, which was Mr. Sigale's argument.
