[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 120603, member: 21"] That looks a lot like the California law. Your link is wrong. The bill number is HB1294, not HR1293. [URL]http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/97/HB/09700HB1294.htm[/URL] It's semi auto rifles and a few pistols like a TEC9 that they are after with this bill. Your pump action shotgun, bolt action rifle, revolver, and almost all semiauto pistols are not effected. I'm no lawyer, but it looks to me like a SKS or mini-14 would still be OK. We have the same stupid .50 BMG ban here as well. Somehow I really doubt that many crimes have been committed with one. After reading the bill, I do have to say that the wording is terrible. It's got contradictions in it. It's also really ambiguous on few points. It seems to even make toy guns a felony if they are a "replica." This si also an old bill from 2011 and not something new. I wouldn't be surprised if it gains new life due to recent events. [/QUOTE]
