A suburban town near Chicago voted on Monday to ban the sale, possession, and manufacture of “assault weapons” and “large capacity magazines.” Not to increase public safety but to “increase the public’s sense of safety.”

The town of Deerfield, Illinois, will fine violators $1000 per day until they turn in the rifle or remove it from town limits.

“The possession, manufacture and sale of assault weapons in the Village of Deerfield is not reasonably necessary to protect an individual’s right of self-defense or the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia,” the ordinance reads.

“Assault weapons are dangerous and unusual weapons which are commonly associated with military or antipersonnel use,” Deerfield Village authorities continue, referring to the most popular and commonplace rifle in America.

They define “assault weapon” in the usual nonsensical manner. But they also include a laundry list of additional weapons now deemed unclean. These include semi-automatic rifles with a fixed stock capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition, pistol-caliber carbines, semi-automatic shotguns with pistols grips, shotguns with revolving cylinders, and AR-15 parts kits.

They even provide a helpful list of the now banned firearms, which includes AK, AKM, AKS, AK-47, AK-74, ARM, MAK90, Misr, NHM 90, NHM 91, SA 85, SA 93, VEPR, AR-10, AR-15, Bushmaster XM15, Armalite M15, Olympic Arms PCR, AR70, Calico Liberty, Dragunov SVD Sniper Rifle, Dragunov SVU, Fabrique NationalFN/FAL, FN/LAR, FNC, Hi-Point Carbine, HK-91, Kel-Tec Sub Rifle, SAR-8, Sturm, Ruger Mini-14, and more.
