The penalty? Up to $1,000 a day.

Most of the residents probably voted on this (or some idiot politician) but even if one person has one, they can sue that it's an infringement on the 2nd amendment and still win. Im sure the NRA will be heading to this town any day now to fight.

If the 18,000 residents of the Chicago suburb don't forfeit or secure weapons that fall under the ban by June 13th, they will be charged from $200 to $1,000 a day as a penalty.

Yea, so pretty much ANY semi-auto gun or rifle ever made.
Deerfield's ordinance sets its own extensive definition of the term. In short, its version of an assault weapon is "a semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a large capacity magazine, detachable or otherwise." There are other aspects, including rifle additions and types of magazines.
As defined by the village, the term also includes semiautomatic pistols, semiautomatic shotguns, conversion kits and "any shotgun with a revolving cylinder."

More and more of these laws are sticking and the supreme court has been refusing to hear the cases. Depends on the lower courts which vary wildly around the country.
