and would also ban many firearms with tubular magazines that more than 10 roundsMy old Stephens/Springfield bolt action .22LR holds 14 rounds. It was all I ever needed to put a couple rabbits on my dinner table when I was in high school. Most of the time I put the 12 unfired rounds back in the box. My brother in law would go through 100 rounds with a 10/22 and never accomplish more than raising dust and making a few squirrels nervous.

It even bans possession. Idiotic jerks.Magazines possessed before the effective date are excluded. Save your receipts to show possession before the effective date. That was necessary to avoid the "ex post facto" invalidation. I don't think any of my mags has a manufacturing date stamped on them.

Gee, I’ve got an 80-year-old Steven’s .22 short bolt action single-shot with a tube magazine that holds about 12 or 15 .22 shorts.
I guess it is an “assault rifle” now.

Yes. But only by ignorant schmucks, who cannot be bothered to learn the correct terminology.

AhHAA!
I get it. The illegal ammo feeding devices will be eligible for “Z” visas and ALL will be well.

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.

See my reply to post #30.
I think they are attempting to sneek thru a ban on Hi-Cap mags under the guise of sexual exploitation of children.
Very sneeky. . .

My point is that such bans are meaningless, unless the population willingly co-operates. People have known how to make bangsticks since the 1400s, and the means to manufacture them are abundant. Unless the Govt. intends to control the materials and milling machinery, the ban is not enforceable in the face of an unwilling population.
Your average citizen mechanic could not manufacture a tank to match modern standards, but a homeshop metalworker could make a mighty serviceable fully auto rifle with magazines to feed it. Kalashnikov, Shepard and Turpin, and John Moses pointed the way, and did the design work. The knowledge genie is long out of the bottle.

My 56 year old Stevens Model 15-A bolt action, manual cocking, single shot .22 (short, long, long-rifle) does not have any kind of magazine...which is why it is called a 'single shot'.

You are correct.
I should trade my .22 tube magazine guns in for single shots. Then I know I would be legal.
How would the “.22 gattling gun” rate?
