California is always a good indicator of bad things to come in Illinois because our local leftys love to lazily copypasta Cali's antigun bills.

The scheme is to make anyone that sells firearm "precursor" parts to be licensed and taxed in California and background check the buyer.

For all of us that love mail-order parts this would suck big time if it moves to Illinois.

We already have SB2340.

No person may acquire or possess any firearm part, unless otherwise exempted under the Act, which can be used to assemble or modify a firearm without having in his or her possession a Firearm Owner's Identification Card previously issued in his or her name by the Department of State Police.

It specifically calls out, in other sections, 80% receivers, barrels, and firing pins.

Wait a minute......

 

The way this reads, I would need permission from the state to own and operate an Uplula loader to put rounds into my magazine? Number 2 up there mentions a 'speed loader'.

 

Some of my family moved to California decades ago, so glad my folks didn't, now.

This applies not only my Uplulas but the speed loaders for my revolvers too.  Then again no need for permission since the state doesn't know I own them.

The Cali workaround is non detachable magazines so people have come up with speedloader that dump into the ejection port. The intent is to regulate those, but it's broad definition is a feature not a bug.
