There are other conditions, but yes. Rifles must be single-shot only, which bizarrely (IMO) includes rifles with external box magazines not present. It's bizarre, because it prohibits rifles with internal magazines, since it's not possible to remove an internal magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tvandermyde Posted April 6, 2022 at 10:30 PM Share Posted April 6, 2022 at 10:30 PM My take on Hb-4383 SA1 The definition of frame or receiver is significantly altered and expanded to cover things that are not currently considered firearms. "Frame or receiver" means a part of a firearm that, when the complete weapon is assembled, is visible from the exterior and provides housing or a structure designed to hold or integrate one or more fire control components, even if pins or other attachments are required to connect those components to the housing or structure. For models of firearms in which multiple parts provide such housing or structure, the part or parts that the Director of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has determined are a frame or receiver constitute the frame or receiver. For purposes of this definition, "fire control component" means a component necessary for the firearm to initiate, complete, or continue the firing sequence, including any of the following: hammer, bolt, bolt carrier, breechblock, cylinder, trigger mechanism, firing pin, striker, or slide rails. Many types of firearms utilize a two piece design. Federal law defines a receiver as being a singular component housing all of the components mentioned. Under Illinois NEW definition of a receiver, a great deal of confusion is going to be created. On an AR-15 style firearm, the serialized component is the lower receiver, having both a lower and upper receiver. The lower holds the fire control group to include the hammer and trigger set. The upper holds the bolt and bolt carrier. The upper receiver, now fits the definition of a “frame or receiver” • Will AR-15 style firearms, now require a serial number on the upper receiver? • Will AR-15 style upper receivers be treated as firearms and require a background/FTIP check? • Be required to be kept in the licensees State version of the acquisitions and dispositions list required under the firearm dealers certification? • Will AR-15 style upper receivers require a FOID card? • If AR-15 style receivers require a serial number, how will that be applied? Will it be under the new serialization guidelines in the bill? • Will it be to match the serial number of the lower if a commercially manufactured firearm? "Unfinished frame or receiver" means any forging, casting, printing, extrusion, machined body, or similar article that: (1) has reached a stage in manufacture where it may readily be completed, assembled, or converted to be a firearm” • No definition of “may readily be completed” is included. Is this 10 minutes of work? An hour with hand tools? 4 hours with a machine shop? All of this make a significant difference. • The definition of unfinished frame or receiver includes “extrusion” how do you propose to regulate things like tubing? How do you tell the difference between a piece of 1.5” tubing for handrails and 1.5” tubing for a Sterling L2A3? • How do you tell the difference between a piece of 3/8” plate steel for an engine mount and 3/8” plate steel for a 1919 side plate? • How do you tell the difference between a piece of 16 gauge sheet steel at Menards and if it is going to be used for a home project or an AK or MAC-10? Markings: • Many gun owners who have built their own firearms have had them marked so they could be identified if stolen. How do they comply with the marking requirements? You will now have multiple markings on the same firearm. • The FFL marking required are a combination of the abbreviated FFL number, 8 digits, and another numerical identifier. Many of these custom built guns do not have enough space for the required marking in the required manner. How do they comply? • “The imprinting of any serial number must be done on a steel plaque in compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(p).” The bill calls for imprinting on a “STEEL” plaque. What if it is an aluminum framed gun? All AR-15s are generally made out of aluminum not steel. Are they in compliance as the bill calls for steel? Exceptions: • “has been rendered permanently inoperable” the very nature of an unfinished frame makes it inoperable if left in its unaltered state. • When does a piece of tubing cease being a piece of tubing and a firearm component? Unfinished it is nothing. • The exception only applies to suppliers of manufactures a great many people own various forgings and castings of firearm frame for things such as paperweights. Are they now in violation of the law? • The bill makes an exemption for those firearm made prior to the 1968 requirement of a serial number. So it can not be that important of an issue as all these hundreds of thousands of unserialized guns are being allowed to remain in circulation, the contrary of the intent of the law. This would seem to be an equal protection claim as well as dispersive penalties under the law. Penalties: • A person who owns a home built firearm and fails to have it serialized in accordance with the bill faces a class A first offense and Class 3 second offense. Even if that person has a FOID Card or CHL. • The penalty is the same if a lawful person obtained and built the firearm as if a prohibited person built and possessed the firearm. • How are people with previously marked firearms, that can not comply, suppose to comply with this? They can’t mark the gun as prescribed by law. • There is no provision for inheritance. FOID Implications: Since the definition of a frame or receiver is being altered/created under this new section of the criminal code, will you need a FOID card in order to posses one under the new definition? Current law requires a FOID card to possess firearms or ammunition. It hasn’t been repealed. How many cases of prohibited persons acquiring/building “ghost guns” have been prosecuted for: o Being felon in possession? o Prohibited person in possession? o Possession without a FOID card? o Transfer without waiting period? o Transfer without record keeping? o Transfer without background check? How many have been prosecuted under Federal law for the illegal transfer of these firearms? All of the criminal penalties exist to deal with those who can’t possess a firearm who possess one of these -- a firearm is a firearm regardless if it is of commercial manufacture or home built. Fees: While the bill requires the serialization to be done by an FFL, there is an issue of cost. The bill does not outline any fees nor cap them. Either one leading to a host of problems of an artificially low fee of less than the cost of time and effort by the FFL or leading to a new additional tax on a firearms. A quick check of FFLs indicates some may charge $35-50 for the service. So after paying all the sales taxes on components, gun owners will now face the requirement and burden of having to find a willing FFL to mark the frame and pay the fee/tax and wait the time to have it completed in order to keep their currently legal firearm which they possess. Possession by Non-residents: This bill is an outlier with about half a dozen states implementing something about this subject. What happens to an individual from another state that possesses one of these firearms if they come into contact with law enforcement? • Are they in violation of the law for not having a serial number despite their home state not requiring it? • If a person from another state is legally carrying that firearm and comes into contact with law enforcement then what?

Ranger Posted April 7, 2022 at 07:30 PM Share Posted April 7, 2022 at 07:30 PM If enacted, it might be nice to have a list of eligible cartridges. That doesn't sound like a very long case for a bottleneck cartridge. After waiting and waiting, hoping this would occur so could have light recoiling alternative for wife and young son, I finally purchased three Savage 220 20 gauge shotguns with Leupold 3x9 firedot scopes two seasons ago. Great shotguns and shoot like rifles. Nine year old son has now gotten two deer with his and wife has gotten one. Now wondering if it is worth it to get a 350 Legend or not. A nice, trim little rifle would be really nice for them; but the 220s work very well. "Limits legal ammunition for a centerfire handgun or rifle to a bottleneck centerfire cartridge of .30 caliber or larger with a case length not exceeding one and two-fifths inches, or a straight-walled centerfire cartridge of .30 caliber or larger, both of which must be available as a factory load with the published ballistic tables of the manufacturer showing a capability of at least 500 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle."

JCAR will have a lot to say about what rounds will be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird76Mojo Posted April 7, 2022 at 09:12 PM Share Posted April 7, 2022 at 09:12 PM On 4/6/2022 at 4:30 PM, Tvandermyde said: My take on Hb-4383 SA1 The definition of frame or receiver is significantly altered and expanded to cover things that are not currently considered firearms. "Frame or receiver" means a part of a firearm that, when the complete weapon is assembled, is visible from the exterior and provides housing or a structure designed to hold or integrate one or more fire control components, even if pins or other attachments are required to connect those components to the housing or structure. For models of firearms in which multiple parts provide such housing or structure, the part or parts that the Director of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has determined are a frame or receiver constitute the frame or receiver. For purposes of this definition, "fire control component" means a component necessary for the firearm to initiate, complete, or continue the firing sequence, including any of the following: hammer, bolt, bolt carrier, breechblock, cylinder, trigger mechanism, firing pin, striker, or slide rails. Many types of firearms utilize a two piece design. Federal law defines a receiver as being a singular component housing all of the components mentioned. Under Illinois NEW definition of a receiver, a great deal of confusion is going to be created. On an AR-15 style firearm, the serialized component is the lower receiver, having both a lower and upper receiver. The lower holds the fire control group to include the hammer and trigger set. The upper holds the bolt and bolt carrier. The upper receiver, now fits the definition of a “frame or receiver” • Will AR-15 style firearms, now require a serial number on the upper receiver? • Will AR-15 style upper receivers be treated as firearms and require a background/FTIP check? • Be required to be kept in the licensees State version of the acquisitions and dispositions list required under the firearm dealers certification? • Will AR-15 style upper receivers require a FOID card? • If AR-15 style receivers require a serial number, how will that be applied? Will it be under the new serialization guidelines in the bill? • Will it be to match the serial number of the lower if a commercially manufactured firearm? "Unfinished frame or receiver" means any forging, casting, printing, extrusion, machined body, or similar article that: (1) has reached a stage in manufacture where it may readily be completed, assembled, or converted to be a firearm” • No definition of “may readily be completed” is included. Is this 10 minutes of work? An hour with hand tools? 4 hours with a machine shop? All of this make a significant difference. • The definition of unfinished frame or receiver includes “extrusion” how do you propose to regulate things like tubing? How do you tell the difference between a piece of 1.5” tubing for handrails and 1.5” tubing for a Sterling L2A3? • How do you tell the difference between a piece of 3/8” plate steel for an engine mount and 3/8” plate steel for a 1919 side plate? • How do you tell the difference between a piece of 16 gauge sheet steel at Menards and if it is going to be used for a home project or an AK or MAC-10? Markings: • Many gun owners who have built their own firearms have had them marked so they could be identified if stolen. How do they comply with the marking requirements? You will now have multiple markings on the same firearm. • The FFL marking required are a combination of the abbreviated FFL number, 8 digits, and another numerical identifier. Many of these custom built guns do not have enough space for the required marking in the required manner. How do they comply? • “The imprinting of any serial number must be done on a steel plaque in compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(p).” The bill calls for imprinting on a “STEEL” plaque. What if it is an aluminum framed gun? All AR-15s are generally made out of aluminum not steel. Are they in compliance as the bill calls for steel? Exceptions: • “has been rendered permanently inoperable” the very nature of an unfinished frame makes it inoperable if left in its unaltered state. • When does a piece of tubing cease being a piece of tubing and a firearm component? Unfinished it is nothing. • The exception only applies to suppliers of manufactures a great many people own various forgings and castings of firearm frame for things such as paperweights. Are they now in violation of the law? • The bill makes an exemption for those firearm made prior to the 1968 requirement of a serial number. So it can not be that important of an issue as all these hundreds of thousands of unserialized guns are being allowed to remain in circulation, the contrary of the intent of the law. This would seem to be an equal protection claim as well as dispersive penalties under the law. Penalties: • A person who owns a home built firearm and fails to have it serialized in accordance with the bill faces a class A first offense and Class 3 second offense. Even if that person has a FOID Card or CHL. • The penalty is the same if a lawful person obtained and built the firearm as if a prohibited person built and possessed the firearm. • How are people with previously marked firearms, that can not comply, suppose to comply with this? They can’t mark the gun as prescribed by law. • There is no provision for inheritance. FOID Implications: Since the definition of a frame or receiver is being altered/created under this new section of the criminal code, will you need a FOID card in order to posses one under the new definition? Current law requires a FOID card to possess firearms or ammunition. It hasn’t been repealed. How many cases of prohibited persons acquiring/building “ghost guns” have been prosecuted for: o Being felon in possession? o Prohibited person in possession? o Possession without a FOID card? o Transfer without waiting period? o Transfer without record keeping? o Transfer without background check? How many have been prosecuted under Federal law for the illegal transfer of these firearms? All of the criminal penalties exist to deal with those who can’t possess a firearm who possess one of these -- a firearm is a firearm regardless if it is of commercial manufacture or home built. Fees: While the bill requires the serialization to be done by an FFL, there is an issue of cost. The bill does not outline any fees nor cap them. Either one leading to a host of problems of an artificially low fee of less than the cost of time and effort by the FFL or leading to a new additional tax on a firearms. A quick check of FFLs indicates some may charge $35-50 for the service. So after paying all the sales taxes on components, gun owners will now face the requirement and burden of having to find a willing FFL to mark the frame and pay the fee/tax and wait the time to have it completed in order to keep their currently legal firearm which they possess. Possession by Non-residents: This bill is an outlier with about half a dozen states implementing something about this subject. What happens to an individual from another state that possesses one of these firearms if they come into contact with law enforcement? • Are they in violation of the law for not having a serial number despite their home state not requiring it? • If a person from another state is legally carrying that firearm and comes into contact with law enforcement then what? So the one-off gun that my grandfather built before ANY gun control laws, which has been appraised at $25,000+ and has no serial number; I'm supposed to deface and devalue that firearm just to appease the government? Um, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only common bottleneck cartridge I know that is between 30 caliber (7.62mm) and 50 caliber (the other limit) and has a case length less than 1.4 inches (35.5mm) is 300 Blackout (7.62x35mm). The only other common cartridges with cases shorter than 1.4 inches are smaller than 30 caliber or have straight walls, anyway. The only other common cartridges larger than 30 caliber have cases longer than 1.4 inches or (again) have straight walls, anyway. Uncommon ones exist, but only for C&R-eligible firearms, none in current (or even recent) production. If JCAR prohibits 300 Blackout, the inclusion of bottleneck cartridges in the legislation was pointless, if not disingenuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mab22 Posted April 23, 2022 at 03:14 AM Share Posted April 23, 2022 at 03:14 AM Has anyone figured out why you can only hunt with a Barney fife rifle, single shot, and why the restriction to straight walled cartridges only? Is this a step in banning something? Would you hunt rabbits or small game with a .30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a step in banning something? Would you hunt rabbits or small game with a .30? Back in the 80s and 90s, a lot of states banned all mid-sized (e.g., deer) hunting with rifles. The reasoning was concern over what could happen if the hunter missed or over-penetrated the target. The bullet would travel on and on, never sleeping, never resting, until it found a human being to hit, probably a child. Whereas handgun rounds and shotgun slugs barely dribble out of the muzzle and then just lie there in the dirt, completely incapable of harming anyone. (Not purple) Over the past 10 years or so, many of those states have loosened their bans slightly by allowing single-shot rifles chambered in straight-walled cartridges. That's why 350 Legend exists. It was designed specifically to conform to the new, de facto legislative hunting standard. Illinois may actually be the last state to lighten up. Plus we got the ability to use 300 BLK (most holy JCAR willing). Maybe we'll set a new trend. As for small game, even in Illinois, AFAIK 22LR has always been legit.
