Lol,

Absolute best response to someone who won't even bother to put their own state as their location.

Let me break it down: I was born in this state and it was fucked by democrats for 20 years before I was a twinkle in my Dad's eye. I vote IN PERSON even if it requires an hour of driving on my part in every election since I have been eligible to vote and I haven't voted for a single person ever that pulled this kind of shit. I have no voice federally or locally because of gerrymandering I never had a say over and I am trapped here due to family constraints for at least another 20 years.

Enjoy the idiocy of telling people that can and will leave a state because they find the totalitarian gun laws passed by a supermajority of democrats they didn't elect not to come and help make sure it doesn't happen to you in wherever the fuck you live.

Those of us in central IL and the others in southern IL did not vote for this crap. Not everyone can pickup and move easy. We have multi location business and family we can't walk away from. I know most likely minded people left in this state are anchored here in one form or another.

We should all band together to fight tyranny, not fight amongst ourselves. The latter is what they want and how they win

Yup. Bullshit we can't somehow keep some higher level of autonomy for the rural/regional areas. I know a ton of the hardest working, right leaning, gun toting, conservatives living in places like upstate NY, Central and Southern IL as well as other states and NONE of them voted for any of this liberal crap. As for myself, I will stay and fight the good fight as long as I can but see nothing wrong with folks voting with their feet and pocketbooks (taxes). I simply ignore the asshats who spout the "we're full" simpleton mantra.

It's the same with many refugees from former USSR/combloc countries. They know full well what communism/socialism means, are highly attuned to seeing the signs of it, and want no part of it.

A bunch of those Illinois folks were warning the country what would happen if they elected Obama. They knew what bringing chicago corrupt machine politics to the whole country would be. And here we are, losing Georgia and Arizona to corrupt elections for what appears to be a literal communist takeover.

Born here, raised here, friends and family are here. I'll be staying to fight the Chicago tyranny, because it's my home.

I do wonder if the property-tax/no-bail/gun-ban issues have been engineered to drive rural farmer-types out of the state, since the elitist billionaires seem suddenly very interested in buying up farmland.

Semi auto, magazine fed(or easily convertible) and has a stock? Then yes.

That's the way I have always read it and Todd and the legal team fighting this seem to agree. The experts from the ISP can't read though and seem to disagree as they put things like the sks and 10/22 as not restricted in their filing. I am glad they are going to bend the state over on this particular issue.

Furthermore, the idea that the state says it can ban something because it is unusual is absolute bunk.

First off, Caetano flat out quashed this type of reasoning, but even pretending that ruling doesn't exist:

1) If 24 million ARs are not common enough to be considered common then nothing is. You might be able to find a few models of guns that had more made (or not? I can't think of anything offhand more prolific) but the order of magnitude would be roughly similar, therefore the logical conclusion of that argument is that ALL firearms are unusual.

2) Unless a manufacturer could magically produce and distribute whatever insanely high number of firearms they would consider to be "common" overnight, their interpretation means nothing new could ever be considered a protected arm.

Yes. Any semi auto rifle that has a foreend. I guess an AR7 or Marlin Papoose would be legal, they don't have handguards. Almost all shotguns are also illegal, as almost everything is threaded for choke tubes.

The actual text of the law is what happens when some clueless lobbyists and even more clueless democrat staffers cut and paste text from wherever into a law without understanding what most of it means. Makes them look like the idiots they are, but the poor citizens of that state are the ones who suffer.

Somewhere I saw a similar rifle 'barrel shroud' clause with an exception for 'fore-ends that are an extension of the stock'.
I bet after copying the template some extremist decided them evil gun owners don't deserve any exceptions.
