"Illinois banned the sale or possession of semiautomatic weapons Tuesday when Governor J.B. Pritzker signed legislation driven largely by the killing of seven people at a 4th of July parade last year in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. Critics warn the governor’s signature will trigger court challenges, which will ultimately overturn the law as a violation of the 2nd Amendment. Ed Sullivan, a lobbyist for the Illinois State Rifle Association, said legal action will be swift.
Representative Blaine Wilhour of Beecher City:
“A government willing to defy our Constitution is a government that is completely out of control. So you can sit here and dictate whatever you want today," Wilhour said. “But I can tell you that we will not comply and you’re not going to do a darn thing about it because the law, the Constitution and the founding principles are on our side.”
The legislation bans dozens of specific brands or types of rifles and handguns, .50-caliber guns, attachments and rapid-firing devices. No rifle will be allowed to accommodate more than 10 rounds, with a 15-round limit for handguns. Those who already own such guns will have to register them, including serial numbers, with the Illinois State Police. The new law enables merchants to sell or return current stock and Illinois-based manufacturers can sell their wares outside Illinois or to law enforcement."
