    Assault weapons ban in Illinois

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/05/us/de...rnd/index.html

    I have no idea what the Supreme Court implications are or if it meets the Scalia test. Maybe waco can weigh in.

    Distance from Morton Grove to Deerfield - 10 miles.

    The ordinance goes into effect June 13 and makes it unlawful to possess, sell, transport or store assault rifles. The weapons are defined as semi-automatic rifles able to accept a large magazine. The ordinance also bans certain models, including the AR-15, the AK-47 and Uzis.

    I tolja, large capacity magazines were going to be the defining characteristic. So it begins.

    Look no further than Chicago to see how well gun control works. Much BS about nothing.

    I don't see why not. It is very similar to the 1994 federal ban. What do you see that I'm missing?

    It is on a specific characteristic, not an entire firearms ban on a category of guns.

    I think it will pass the Scalia test.

    this one says you are not grandfathered, they are banning the owning of these guns
