Deerfield, IL village officials voted to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and people who don’t comply could face fines of up to $1,000 per day, reports say. The Chicago suburb’s officials voted unanimously for the ban during a meeting Tuesday, the Chicago Tribune reports. People who own assault-style weapons have until June 13 to remove them from the village limits or will face fines of $250 to $1,000 per day. Officials say the ban is in response to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that resulted in 17 deaths. The gun-rights group Guns Save Life is challenging the legality of the ban, with support from the National Rifle Association, Reuters reports.
