A proposed ordinance that would ban the sale of firearms and forbid possession of automatic and semiautomatic weapons will be discussed Monday night by village officials.
The issue will be open for public comment during a meeting at 7:30 p.m. in Village Hall. A vote is expected March 7. Copies of the proposed ordinance are available at Village Hall.
According to a draft proposal, the rules are necessary because automatic and semiautomatic weapons “play a major role in the commission of homicide, aggravated assault, armed robbery and accidental injury and death.”
The proposal would give residents two weeks to surrender semiautomatic and automatic weapons to village officials or to dispose of them by other means.
