Just ran across this Proposed Illinois House Bill. So far it has made good headway through the house....
Aside from its proposed ban on several pistols and shotguns, and several rifles by name (norinco, ar-15) this also bans ANY semi-auto rifle with a detachable magazine that also has: either a pistol grip or a heat shield. We are slowly turning into California.
