How many bills have they introduced?
There is a proposed tax on ammunition.
There is a proposed bill to have the Illinois State Police monitor social media accounts of FOID card applicants and card holders.
There is a proposed bill to require federally licensed dealers to buy a state license.
There is a bill to ban "assault weapons" including the majority of handguns sold, semi-automatic shotguns, semi-automatic 22LR's.
There is a bill to require existing "assault weapons" to be registered in a 120 day window with a tax. This includes basic handguns like a Glock that a police office carries on his hip. Nothing new can be purchased for a magazine greater than 10 rounds.
Did I miss any?
Oops. Forgot one. They want to serialize ammunition. That makes handloads and old inventory contraband!
Looks like Illinois Democrats are determined to make law abiding citezen "criminals" with petty little process crimes of technicalities.
It's an assault on gun owners. "Democrats" in Chicago will keep shooting each other. This won't stop them. It's the gun enthusiasts the progressives are after.
No, each law alone is not a big infringement but they are pushing all of these laws.

The faster we face the fact that they simply want to take all guns out of the hands of free Americans, the better we will be.
It's really all about CONTROL. Once the people have lost their ability to use force to resist, they become slaves.
History is an excellent teacher .... maybe that is why it's no longer taught in school. [:0]
Yep, and the compliant sheeple sit and watch.
Why not - Democrats control everything & we've elected another version of Obama as Governor. OK shorter, fatter and richer but still an Obama.
