Illinois passes ban on semi-auto rifles and handguns?

[RecessedFilter 222]

I'm not one to usually create threads like this, but just read this article and haven't seen anything posted on this which I'm surprised about.

 

Am I reading this correctly? Apparently they passed a law banning the possession, sale, and transfer of semi-auto rifles and pistols. Current owners guns would be grandfathered.

 

I haven't heard anything about this and I'm shocked.

 

This is not good...

No it was passed by a committe and was pulled from the floor before a vote.

As I was checking other media sites, yes, I read that it was attempting to get advanced.

 

Sorry everyone, the last thing I want to do is misinform people.

 

Mods, feel free to delete this worthless thread haha.
