No such thing. The SKS is semi-auto only.
Stone...accessorizing them with such things as bayonets...can lead to federal gun charges.
Huh? Putting a bayonet on a rifle is a federal crime?
Boy, somebody better warn Dunhams Sporting Goods. Last time I was there, they had a s*load of Yugoslavian SKS Carbines, all with bayonets, and GRENADE LAUNCHERS!!!
The SKS with Grenade Launcher - when you want to get the whole herd. Now, at Dunham's.
depends on the state for the bayonette. unless he's got that silencer registered, that would be violation of NFA. unless its one of the million flash hiders that are made to LOOK like a "silencer"- which if he bought it off the internet, it probably is a fake.
The guns pulled from the home included an AK-47, a 12-gauge shotgun, two military style AR-15s, an Uzi-like M-11 and a Russian SKS assault rifle. Police also found other pistols and revolvers.
Geee... I'm thinking that's about what I usually have in the trunk of my car when I make a trip to to the range.

This guy is obviously a maniac and should be hanged.

I'm sure there are members of this forum who own more hardware than this guy.
I'm not condoning his behavior, and shooting at a cop is always going to get you in trouble. But his little collection is really not that big a deal, IMHO.
They did note that he was taking antidepressant medications at the end of the article. That should be a big red flag right there!
I doubt it, Wheeling is Cook County. That's a Cook County Courthouse in Rolling Meadows. Cook County bans these guns. Also, the fed assault rifle ban expired. There's no problem with bayonet lugs, pistol grips ect... anymore.
This reporter is an idiot. I am sick to death of all the anti-gun hype these jackasses try and cram into one sentance.

To the Legacy MediaTM every weapon is an "assault" weapon. Hey, you can assault people with it, right?
Anit-gun wackjob alert!!
For some SKSs imported after a certain date, attaching a bayonet is in fact a federal crime: they can't be imported with bayonets, so adding one makes it something that should not have been imported, thus is deemed illegally imported - big no-no.
Pretty pathetic that he may get tossed in the slammer for basically sticking a $2 screwdriver on an SKS. More stupid is that the charge hinges on whether it was actually attached or not - and it's pretty easy for someone at the scene to stick it on and say "look what evil thing I found!"
The rules on which SKSs can have bayonets attached is convoluted and stupid. I can buy a recently-imported Yugo SKS with bayonet attached, but I can't put one on my intermediate-imported Chinese SKS.
Kitchen knives are very sharp, very long, and can easily kill.
My favorite part, and one worth thinking about:
"Stone described Banks as 'dangerous,' given the amount and types of guns police found in his house."
So, whether or not you are dangerous has nothing to do with intent or actions, but on how many legal items you legally possess.
This goes out to everyone who posted on this topic.
Guess who!
First of all these weapons are part of my collection of military and police memorabilia.
The "silencer" is an exhaust pipe for my kids scooter.
I'm hoping for as much NRA and 2ND amendment activists support as possible.
This was an accidental discharge from inside my house and NOT AT THE POLICE!!!I THANK GOD THAT NOBODY WAS HURT.
JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT THE MEDIA SNSATIONALIZES EVERYTHING FOR SALES.IF YOU WANT THE REAL TRUTH, COME TO COURT ON 8/24 RM 110 ROLLING MEADOWS. PLEASE, I ASK FOR YOPUR SUPPORT.......THANK YOU ALL
WHEELING MAN.
