A pair of ammunition
ban bills are up for hearing in the House Executive
Committee this week. If enacted, either of these bills
would effectively ban the purchase of ammunition in
Illinois. The bills in question are HB 4269 sponsored by
Rep. Monique Davis (D-Chicago), and HB 4349 sponsored by
Rep. Naomi Jakobsson (D-Champaign).
Here is what passage of either of these bills would
mean to you:
1. Ammunition
manufacturers would be required to imprint a secret
code on cartridge casings so that the purchaser of the
ammunition could be identified.
2. When you purchase ammunition, that secret code
would be registered to your name.
3. All your ammunition purchases would be registered
with the Illinois State Police.
4. You would be responsible for all eternity for
ammunition registered to you.
5. It would be in your best interest to destroy all
expended ammunition casings because an unaccounted for
empty casing could be used to frame you for a crime
you did not commit.
6. You would have to surrender all unregistered
ammunition you now own to the Illinois State Police.
7. Reloading would be banned.
8. The Illinois Department of Revenue would be
authorized to place a tax on ammunition and raise that
tax any time for any reason.
9. Taxes and increased manufacturing costs would raise
the price of a box of .45 ammo to $200 or more.
10. Gun ownership would become too costly for most
people.
