DEERFIELD, Ill. — The village of Deerfield is amending its now-halted ban on semi-automatic rifles.
Trustees voted unanimously this week to add language clarifying that high-capacity magazines are also banned.
The ban was approved by the village back in April, and was supposed to take effect last week.
However, a Lake County judge issued a temporary restraining order citing it was not enforceable under state law.
The order will remain in effect until two lawsuits challenging the ban are resolved.
