I don't know much about guns. My dad has an cheap old chinese SKS. Would that be banned?
IF this is true, this is the most radical ban yet. Why? For someone to ban shotguns,pistols, and semi-automatic rifles means that most hunting in the state would cease. This sounds like something from Nazi Germany. I really want to know if this is true. Very dangerous proposal.
As a semi-auto - the SKS would be banned. This is what happens when Democrats are in control (as they most assuredly are here in Illinois). They try to do what they want, without fear. You really get to see what the Democrats are all about in those areas where they have a near monopoly on public offices.
If it's a semi-automatic (needs no assistance in loading the next round, you just pull the trigger and the rounds go downrange just as fast as you can pull it) yes. And an SKS especially would be banned because it's 'military style'. That's the joke of most of these stupid laws. It doesn't matter how functional the weapon is, if it LOOKS like it's a military style 'assault' weapon, it's included.
Anti-gun people are as dumb as they THINK the electorate is.
If your dad wants to get rid of that SKS, I have a nice warm home for it here in Michigan where the rights of gun owners haven't been trampled......yet.
Yes.
Yup
What the heck has happened to Illinois? They are starting to look like an island, especially if W takes IA, WI, Mn...
Anything that goes "bang" will be targeted eventually.
Yes it would be banned .
