***Illinois lawmakers advanced legislation this week that would ban military-caliber guns***

(?) Does not compute.

50-70?
45-70?
30-40 Krag?
30-03?
30-06?
308 Win?
.222 Spl?
.223?
.45 Long Colt?
.45 short?
.38 Colt?
.45 AP?
9mm?
.38 Spl?

And many others used by the military in the past?

What about foreign military calibers?
7MM?
8MM?
.303?
6.5MM?

***as well as magazines that hold more than ten rounds of ammunition.***

But what about these?

John Kennedy killed with a 5 shot bolt action rifle.

Bobby Kennedy with a .22 Iver Johnson Cadet revolver.

George Wallace wounded with a 5 shot Charter Arms .38spl.

Gerald Ford attacked with a 7 shot 1911 semi auto.

Edmond OK post office with two National Guard 7 shot 1911 pistols.

Ronald Reagan and Jim Brady with an RG-14 .22 pistol.

What do they all have in common? NONE over 7 rounds, yet after each one came a cry of panic to ban them.

EVERYONE is missing the underlying story the whole gun debate issue.

Instead of selling off their guns, Americans are buying in record numbers a (perceived) soon to be illegal product.

What does that tell you?

It tells me that every day Joe American is telling the Government to go $&@* itself and has no intention of turning over their weapons regardless of what our Prince and Princesses tell them to do.
