Just proposed for the moment
(from illinoiscarry)

Late yesterday Senate Amendment 1 was filed on SB556 Criminal Law Tech by Senator Muñoz:

http://ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=10000SB0556sam001&GA=100&SessionId=91&DocTypeId=SB&LegID=100498&DocNum=556&GAID=14&Session=

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that it is a violation of the unlawful use of weapons statute to carry or possess on or about one's person, in any vehicle, or concealed on or about his or her person any semi-automatic assault weapon. Provides that a person convicted of a violation of this provision commits a Class 1 felony and shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than 4 years and not more than 15 years. Provides exemptions for peace officers, the military, prison guards, and other security officers. Provides that a person convicted of the knowing sale, manufacture, purchase, possession, or carrying of a machine gun commits a Class 1 (rather than a Class 2) felony and shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than 4 (rather than 3) years and not more than 15 (rather than 7) years, unless the weapon is possessed in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, or on the person, while the weapon is loaded, in which case it shall be a Class X felony. Defines "semi-automatic assault weapon".

How would one go to the range to shoot their alleged "assault weapon"  but then again you would have to define "assault weapon", personally I don`t think any such thing exists. Just more stupidity from Chicago.
