Attention Deerfield: You Have Two Weeks To Turn In Your Guns. Yes, Really.

Citizens of Deerfield, Illinois, have until the 12th to turn in their guns.

In two weeks, gun owners in Deerfield, IL are supposed to turn in their semi-automatic rifles, destroy them, or get them out of town if they don’t want to be criminals. But “nobody wants to take your guns”, right? https://t.co/NOd9rzuWai

The ordinance enacted April 2 by the Deerfield Village Board gives residents until June 13 to turn in any guns that fit the village’s definition of assault weapons, remove them from the village or modify the guns so they’re no longer considered assault weapons. The ordinance empowers the town’s police chief to confiscate the assault weapons of anyone charged under the ordinance.

Owners found in violation can be fined up to $1,000 a day, according to the ordinance.

So um… what does this town consider an “assault weapons?”

In the ordinance, the definition of an assault weapon includes, among others, semiautomatic rifles that have a fixed magazine with a capacity to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition; shotguns with a revolving cylinder; and semiautomatic pistols and rifles that can accept large-capacity magazines and possess one of a list of other features. Among the dozens of specific models cited are the AR-15, AK-47 and Uzi, according to the ordinance.

“Semiautomatic pistols and rifles that can accept large-capacity.” Yup. Really.

So um…

Lots of guns will be “lost at sea” in two weeks

They should just identify as illegal immigrants. Then they’ll be allowed to break any law they wish.

So…are authorities REALLY expecting people to turn their guns over? Really?

I just don’t see that happening.

And what happens next? Police officers go in to people’s homes to TAKE the guns?

This won’t end well.
