Illinois is in the process of considering Senate Bill 16. For full information and action, go the Illinois State Rifle Association website: http://www.isra.org/It this bill becomes law a Ruger 10/22 with thumbhole stock or folding stock will be a felony. Any gun with magazine that holds more than 10 rounds would be a felony. A semi-auto AR-15 or similar gun would be a felony. Thank you Jim Zumbo! If you are from Illinois, you need to call your state Senator asap. The ISRA website has links. Pete

It's interesting that Emil Jones' office no longer answers his phone. He is the sponser of the insiduous SB16.
We have a serious fight on our hands here.

Tony 21,
I just called both of his office's. You have to let the phone ring for long time. Eventually you can leave a message. Jones has been a hack for so much of this failed legislation, you think he would have learned by now.

"If you are from Illinois," I'd say move!
The CADA show outside of Chicagoland showed me that the cops think all gun buyers are crack dealers in tweed.

Move out of IL? On the contrary we need more gun owners to move in! If gun owners move out, "they" win. Pretty soon, we will have no place left to move if we allow these laws to force us to move. Did our forefathers move out of the colonies? I think not, they stood their ground. I'll stand mine thank you and stay and vote.

775, Here is a partial quote, that contains just some of the definitions. To answer your question, yes a tubular mag would be an assault weapon that would carry a Class 3 felony for the 1st offence. 1) "Semi-automatic assault weapon" means:
12 (A) any of the firearms or types, replicas, or
13 duplicates in any caliber of the firearms, known as:
14 (i) Norinco, Mitchell, and Poly Technologies
15 Avtomat Kalashnikovs (all models);
16 (ii) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries
1 UZI and Galil;
2 (iii) Beretta AR-70 (SC-70);
3 (iv) Colt AR-15;
4 (v) Fabrique Nationale FN/FAL, FN/LAR, and
5 FNC;
6 (vi) SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9, and M-12;
7 (vii) Steyr AUG;
8
9 (viii) INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9, and TEC-22;
10 and
11 (ix) any shotgun which contains its ammunition
12 in a revolving cylinder, such as (but not limited
13 to) the Street Sweeper and Striker 12;
14 (B) a semi-automatic rifle that has an ability to
15 accept a detachable magazine and has any of the
16 following:
17 (i) a folding or telescoping stock;
18 (ii) a pistol grip or thumbhole stock;
19 (iii) a shroud that is attached to, or
20 partially or completely encircles the barrel, and
21 that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with
22 the non-trigger hand without being burned; or
23 (iv) a fixed magazine that has the capacity to
24 accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition;
25 (C) a semi-automatic pistol that has an ability to
26 accept a detachable magazine and has any of the
1 following:
2 (i) a folding, telescoping, or thumbhole
3 stock;
4 (ii) a shroud that is attached to, or partially
5 or completely encircles the barrel, and that
6 permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the
7 non-trigger hand without being burned;
So every gun owner moves out of Illinois. There will be no one to oppose this type of insanity. The anti-gun movement would soon make it illegal to own an air gun here. With that type of model how long before your state follows suit? The answer is keeping informed and acting on it. A few phone calls to your elected officials is a very small price to pay. Pete

I'm afraid of the population influx to a pro gun state such as my own. Need to stay wary, nothing is a given anymore.
