Magazine Ban on the Move in the Illinois SenateContact Your LegislatorsIllinois State Sen. Dan Kotowski (D-33) has introduced a ban on all magazines having a capacity exceeding 10 rounds. The bill, SB1002, also imposes large fines and prison sentences for the posession magazines for AR-15s and other modern sporting rifles.
SB1002 will have no effect on the criminal misuse of firearms yet will infringe on the right of law-abiding citizens' constitutional right to keep and bear arms. This bill is a step towards the banning of semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns.
Find and call your state senator and politely tell the person who answers the phone that:
- You are a law-abiding Illinois firearm owner
- You OPPOSE SB1002
- You expect the senator to vote against the bill when it comes to the floor
Take action now to stop the passage of SB1002 and preserve your Second Amendment rights.
