chicagoresident Posted May 7, 2018 at 02:19 PM Share Posted May 7, 2018 at 02:19 PM The worst effect of this is putting AWB legal framework of what constitutes an "assault weapon" on the state books. That means the language is accepted wholesale to be easily applied to other laws. Death by a thousand cuts, this is dangerous political maneuvering because in its current form it doesn't apply to most of us so we shrug it off.

mic6010 Posted May 7, 2018 at 02:57 PM Share Posted May 7, 2018 at 02:57 PM Yep, its all about setting up the wording for the not so distant future when they pass the actual ban. Anything that's a semi automatic, holds more than 10 rounds or takes a detachable magazine will be gone.And then once all those firearms are banned they will find a way to go after whatever is left. Democrats are absolutely disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Democrats are absolutely disgusting. Though to be exact, 1468 says semi autos that take detachable mags, AND one of Shroud or Telescoping or collapsible stock. It also never actually defines what a 'detachable magazine' is. Seems to me, that a lot of the California 'work-arounds' would keep an AR15, for instance sellable to under 21 year olds. The bill is so badly written, there are a LOT of ways around it, imho. Granted it, could be amended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeterlancer Posted May 7, 2018 at 03:25 PM Share Posted May 7, 2018 at 03:25 PM I hate these dumb waiting periods, not only because they infringe upon my rights, but because I can't easily buy a firearm locally. But maybe that's the point, to make it harder to buy firearms. I live in the city, so I already have to drive out of my way to find a gun shop. If I buy locally, I have to make a second trip to pick it up. I've heard awesome things about Marengo Guns selection and prices, but I'm not driving 2.5hr round trip, then having to come back in a few days.

Molly B. Posted May 7, 2018 at 04:23 PM Share Posted May 7, 2018 at 04:23 PM Yes, the worst part of this is having the definition of an 'assault' weapon codified in law. With the passage of the bill 79-37 in the House and 43-15 in the Senate, an outright veto can and will be overridden. An amendatory veto could possibly narrow the damage and withstand an override.

"Assault weapon" means:8 (1) any rifle which has a belt fed ammunition system or9 which has a detachable magazine capable of holding more than 1010 rounds of ammunition; not really, imho. To me, it means anything that isn't classified as AW in other part, that runs a detachable magazine that can hold 11 rounds or more of ammunition for that rifle. The grey area would be if it banned magazines, and specified a rd limit, as there are some mags that take different calibers, and different amounts depending on which. The real problem is codifying that the concept of 'assault weapon' exists at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crufflesmuth Posted May 7, 2018 at 06:22 PM Share Posted May 7, 2018 at 06:22 PM I'm surprised they're not banning bolt, lever and pump firearms given their use (historically) in more than one armed conflict and adoption by more than one military.

cybermgk Posted May 7, 2018 at 07:17 PM Share Posted May 7, 2018 at 07:17 PM I wonder if Governor Rauner is waiting to see what else gets passed out of both houses. I am willing to bet he wants a gun control 'win' to be able to show to the easily swayed middle of the road on the subject of guns, that have been mis-informed. I am HOPING he also wants one that is the least impactful, so as to keep those of us that are pro-2A not too unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget boomerangs, bolas, slings, slingshots, blowguns, and sharp sticks. Might as well through siege equipment in there as well... I forget where I read it, but probably on a link from here. Someone asked UK police recently in a UK online forum, given the prohibition on most kinds of self defense in the UK, what are the defensive weapons that private individuals are actually allowed to own and use. The police responded that only whistles, airhorns, electronic buzzers, and other noise-making devices are permitted. Any device or substance capable of inflicting pain or bodily harm on an attacker would be considered an "offensive weapon" and therefore a crime to possess and use.
