Bob Morgan, D-Deerfield, would redefine dozens of different types of rifles, pistols and shotguns as \u201cassault weapons.\u201d If approved, anyone who owns them would have 300 days to register them with state police. All future sales would be prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>The measure also would prohibit possession of magazines with over 10 rounds. Morgan reacted to some who worry that would turn many Illinoisans into felons overnight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe effort in the legislation, the intent is really to stop the future sales, but of course I recognize, and the working group recognizes, all of these devices and these weapons, they exist in Illinois today,\u201d Morgan said. \u201cSo it is really thinking about it in a prospective way instead of penalizing those who purchased them legally in Illinois.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The measure would also prohibit anyone under 21 from getting a Firearm Owner\u2019s Identification Card.<\/p>\n<p>John Boch, executive director of the group Guns Save Life, said he\u2019ll file a lawsuit if it&#8217;s ever enacted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy two boys \u2026 would have their FOID cards revoked, even though they\u2019ve done nothing wrong and neither have I,\u201d Boch said.<\/p>\n<p>There would be carve outs for people under 21 who are enlisted in the armed services or for those who are with an adult hunting, Morgan said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this is an appropriate suggestion to raise the age to 21,\u201d he said. \u201cIn terms of the courts, if we listened to every fear mongering threat from the [National Rifle Association] about what\u2019s constitutional, we would have legalized fully automatic weapons and hand grenades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The measure will be heard in a House committee at 11 a.m. Monday. The public can follow along at the House Video\/Audio page at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ILGA.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ILGA.gov.<\/a> Another hearing is scheduled for noon Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers return for possible bill passage Jan. 4. Morgan aims to get the measure approved by Jan. 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contentious debate is expected during Illinois legislative hearings over a proposed gun and magazine ban.House Bill 5855 from state Rep.
