I’m oh so gullible My first thought was they were talking paper magazines. The senate bill they are referring is below.. I see it has a republican co-sponser. Time for you Ill Republicans to make some noise.

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.

and would also ban many firearms with tubular magazines that more than 10 rounds

My 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.
