Do you hear that sound?
That’s the sound of the many gun manufacturers in IL breaking the sound barrier on their way out of the state - and taking a lot more jobs than the idiot politicians in IL think.
Meanwhile, Texas will be getting yet more gun manufacturers, yay! Model 1 Sales has already moved here from IL. We can hope that SA, Armalite, and some others will as well.
Look at the Bill summery on the Illinois website: http://ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp?DocNum=1007&GAID=9&GA=95&DocTypeID=SB&LegID=27226&SessionID=51

May 15, 2007 - Urgent Action Alert - SB1007 Magazine & Gun Ban
This is an Urgent Action Alert on SB1007, a bill sponsored in the Illinois Senate by career anti-gun Senator Dan Kotowski (D - Park Ridge) and Republican Senator John Millner from Bloomingdale. This bill would ban commonly available magazines for many firearms that hold more than 10 rounds, and would also ban many firearms with tubular magazines that more than 10 rounds, such as ever action rifles owned by cowboy action shooters and many shotguns. This bill does nothing to reduce crime and would penalize law-abiding gun owners in Illinois.
This bill passed the Illinois Senate last week on a 31 to 26 vote. It’s now in the House Executive Committee and could pass out from that committee onto the floor of the House.
To the Dems, a high capacity mag is anything that holds more than or equal to 1 round.
I guess it is an “assault rifle” now.
Let me understand now...they are violating the First Amendment in order to violate the second?
Idiotic and un-COnstitutional.
You can’t burn books in America.
Illinois is becoming a lot like Taxachusetts, New Joisey, and Kalipornia.
Interference with Interstate Commerce.
Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 3.
Unconstitutional.
Now laugh yourself to death, at my expense.
Meanwhile, counting the months until I can move out of MA...
I am amazed at the number of FReepers who don’t know the second definition of “magazine”.
Next on the agenda...a law against thinking about guns.
