Illinois Legislature Passes AR-15, Ammo Magazine Ban

With just one day left to spare in the state’s lame duck session, Illinois legislators have sent a ban on so-called assault weapons to Governor J.B. Pritzker’s (D.) desk.

The Illinois House voted 68-41 to pass House Bill 5471 on a concurrence vote Tuesday. The bill stands to ban the sale and manufacture of certain semi-automatic firearms like AR-15s and AK-47s, handgun magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition, long gun magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition, .50 caliber firearms and ammunition, and expands the duration of the state’s “red flag” restraining order from six months to one year.

It now heads to Pritzker’s desk, where he is expected to sign it into law.
