Illinois is known to be one of the most restrictive/permissive oriented states in the US. They already have a massive amount of current regulations on firearms, but that doesn’t stop them from finding new ways to regulate guns as much as possible. So far there have been a few new bills introduced in IL to ban or heavily regulate firearms. There are 3 new house bills that have been introduced, I will review them further below on the article.
I have linked to the full texts of the bills, and I have show their bill summaries below the link to the bill. Something to note, is that even though the bill summaries will say (x), there are also a ton of other things within the full texts of the bills that the summaries don’t touch on. For all of the three bills, the summaries only describe a minute amount of all the regulations or criminalizations that the bill enacts. In essence, the summaries are only 5% of the entire bills, which have a lot more content that infringes on our 2nd amendment rights. Not that people in IL even have any 2nd amendment rights in the first place, they are virtually non-existent. It’s almost as if the IL state government believes that their residents don’t deserve any rights unless if the gov’t permits them to have those rights. Oh, wait, that is the case. Their politicians truly believe you cannot shit sideways unless if the gov’t gives you permission to shit sideways. Be careful, you can’t wipe from front to back without the go-ahead.
The bills in which I review are HB 4107, HB 4112, and HB 4117. They are all FUBAR, and should not be allowed to pass anywhere in the US. Illinois residents will eventually have to stand up for their rights, or they won’t have any rights left.

Meaning any semi-automatic rifle such as an AR-15 platform, or AK platform rifle. It also bans “large capacity ammunition feeding devices.” Also banned are aftermarket triggers.
- Assault rifles as classified by the military applies to selective fire rifles. Meaning it can be switched from semi-automatic, to automatic. Under IL legal precedence this is not the case.
