Assault weapons are not banned.
They are 100% legal to own in that city/village. It just states that they must be "broken down in a non-functioning state," or "unloaded and enclosed in a case" among a few of the options if you do decide to own one.

As for withstanding legal challenges, it’s modeled in a previous law that withstood legal challenges. Link to your source of what you claim is they just have to be broken down and stored?

Also states as long as the assault weapon is "not immediately accessible to any person." Which would include in a gun safe. California requires all guns to be in a gun safe when children are in the home. This law seems to be a total dud compared to the heading.
It's a hopeless situation...0 -

I couldn't find anything about the minutes, but found the actual bill. It looks like you were right.
My complaint was more with CNN not accurately reporting this, and not the bill itself. The heading and the contents of the article seemed to contradict. Based on the content, I assumed it was an intentional misleading heading.
Turns out the headline in the CNN article may have been right, but then the content was very wrong. It looks as if they were citing an old version of the bill, the portions about safe storage have been removed. The article quotes those exceptions as still current, which would make it not a ban on assault rifles, but more just how to properly store them.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

Turns out the headline in the CNN article may have been right, but then the content was very wrong. It looks as if they were citing an old version of the bill, the portions about safe storage have been removed. The article quotes those exceptions as still current, which would make it not a ban on assault rifles, but more just how to properly store them.
This is what the CNN article states about the law:
"it is unlawful for a person "to carry, keep, bear, transport or possess an assault weapon in the Village," except if the weapon is "broken down in a non-functioning state," is "not immediately accessible to any person," or is "unloaded and enclosed in a case, firearm carrying box, shipping box, or other container by a person who has been issued a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card." "
That is not what the bill actually states. Which is why the CNN article is not accurate. There is no exception for possessing an assault rifle when it is "broken down" or "in a non-functioning state" anymore.
CNN is the one that needs a crash-course on strikeouts, they reported that as still optional in the article. Which is why I called it a dud.

Also states as long as the assault weapon is "not immediately accessible to any person." Which would include in a gun safe. California requires all guns to be in a gun safe when children are in the home. This law seems to be a total dud compared to the heading.

I couldn't find anything about the minutes, but found the actual bill. It looks like you were right.
My complaint was more with CNN not accurately reporting this, and not the bill itself. The heading and the contents of the article seemed to contradict. Based on the content, I assumed it was an intentional misleading heading.
Turns out the headline in the CNN article may have been right, but then the content was very wrong. It looks as if they were citing an old version of the bill, the portions about safe storage have been removed. The article quotes those exceptions as still current, which would make it not a ban on assault rifles, but more just how to properly store them.
This is what the CNN article states about the law:
"it is unlawful for a person "to carry, keep, bear, transport or possess an assault weapon in the Village," except if the weapon is "broken down in a non-functioning state," is "not immediately accessible to any person," or is "unloaded and enclosed in a case, firearm carrying box, shipping box, or other container by a person who has been issued a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card." "
That is not what the bill actually states. Which is why the CNN article is not accurate. There is no exception for possessing an assault rifle when it is "broken down" or "in a non-functioning state" anymore.
CNN is the one that needs a crash-course on strikeouts, they reported that as still optional in the article. Which is why I called it a dud.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

I didn't believe that to be true, so I read the article. If it was true there'd be costly lawsuits before it was ever enforced. And guess what, it isn't true at all.
Assault weapons are not banned.
They are 100% legal to own in that city/village. It just states that they must be "broken down in a non-functioning state," or "unloaded and enclosed in a case" among a few of the options if you do decide to own one.
usa today reports differently.

CNN is the one that needs a crash-course on strikeouts, they reported that as still optional in the article. Which is why I called it a dud.
According to the ordinance, which the the Village Board of Trustees unanimously approved Monday night, it is unlawful for a person "to carry, keep, bear, transport or possess an assault weapon in the Village," except if the weapon is "broken down in a non-functioning state," is "not immediately accessible to any person," or is "unloaded and enclosed in a case, firearm carrying box, shipping box, or other container by a person who has been issued a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card."
CNN does not relate it to just transportation, they include possessing and keeping in the same sentence. If the bill was what CNN actually quoted it as being, it would still be 100% legal to own an assault rifle in that town.
When I called it a dud, I was referring to the heading compared to the contents of what CNN stated the bill to be. Reading the actual bill I wouldn't call the bill a dud, just CNN reporting of it.
Its not even a big deal worth debating over. It's just a pet peeve of mine how Fox gets slammed so hard for being bias and inaccurate (and I don't disagree with that when it comes to a lot of their programming), when other news sources are just as bad in my opinion, but seem to get a free pass. I thought the heading was misleading, turns out the heading was fine but content was just inaccurate. Just as bad journalism in my opinion.

I guess it’s somewhat refreshing that some don’t even pretend to care about gun violence. Makes a bit of a change from those who pretend to care but then shoot down every suggestion as unreasonable.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0
