NAPERVILLE City Council Considers New Weapons Ban
At next Tuesday’s Naperville City Council meeting a proposed ordinance will be discussed that, if adopted, would prohibit the sale of assault weapons in Naperville including certain semi-automatic guns and high capacity magazines. The proposed ordinance was added to the meeting agenda at the request of three City Council members, according to the Daily Herald, and follows the death of seven attendees of Highland Park’s Fourth of July parade in a mass shooting that wounded 46 others. A draft of the ordinance, including how it would define ‘assault weapons’ and a list of specific firearms that would be banned, is currently available on the city’s website.
