How likely is this to pass in the IL senate?

What exactly is a “high-powered weapon”?

Doesn’t matter. It will be overturned by SCOTUS. Who exactly gets to define what an assault weapon is? My dog is an assault weapon, as is my car.

So now only the bad guys will have them? Sounds like a great plan for a place where murder by illegal firearms reign supreme.
To: EQAndyBuzz
But it shouldn’t even get to that point. Only tyrants disarm citizens-—these people are tyrants, period! These laws are illegal and those pushing them should be held accountable for their decisions.

Could a politician’s mouth be considered an offensive assault weapon?
To: smokingfrog
SUPER Majority: House, Senate, and Governor.
Plus, law enforcement was stripped of several protections in the last session.

Anything that can legitimately be used for self defense or in the event of a tyrannical government, but I repeat myself.

How likely is this to pass in the IL senate? Extremely likely, but in the long run it won't matter. Miller v. Bonta is pending in California, and once it is overturned, that will set the nationwide precedent that post Bruen all of these so-called "assault weapon" bans are unconstitutional.

Yes, and when combined with their other orifice, would be classified as fully automatic.

Illinois House passes assault weapons ban
So, the people in Chicago wont be able to get their hands on a tank? Guess those people will have to head down to Texas or Florida, where they can arm themselves against the criminals. Now, only the criminals will have 'assault weapons' and guns and whatever else they need to commit their crimes. Kohberger's weapon would have been legal in Illinois, so, the legislators there needs to ban 'assault knives'.

I’ve challenged a few people to tell me, exactly, what a ‘bazooka’ is. They all stammer and say, ‘It’s a big gun’. Nope.

Doesn’t matter. It will be overturned by SCOTUS. And that will happen in about 5 years.

Deer hunting in Illinois:
Illinois Department of Natural Resources, ammunition is restricted to .30-caliber or larger centerfire cartridges that are less than 1 2/5 inches in length or straight-wall cartridges of at least .30 caliber. Acceptable cartridges “must be available as a factory load, with the published ballistic tables of the manufacturer showing a capability of at least 500 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle.”
The list of approved cartridges includes .45-70 Government and .450 Bushmaster. The .300 Blackout and .44 WCF are also on that list, along with a half-dozen other bottleneck rounds, but most of the approved rifle rounds are straight-wall cartridges.
