A federal judge has overturned Illinois’ ban on semiautomatic weapons, leaning on recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings that strictly interpret the Second Amendment right to keep and bear firearms.
I’m not sure how the law will determine what is like an AR 15. Is it the pistol grip, the ability to mount a sight or a flashlight on there, or just the modularity of that system? The law doesn’t ban semi automatic firearms in general, which is any firearm that automatically reloads itself to fire again.
Maybe one could make a case for there being distinct hunting rifles, and I think I could appreciate the disambiguation in the law. This gets messier with semi automatic handguns. I would appreciate some direction here as I can’t seem to find a handgun that isn’t just a veneer away from “looking scary.”
Check California’s law on what constitutes an assault rifle. Centerfire rifles with certain features cannot have a detachable mag. You have to break apart the firearm to reload.
Your other option is a featureless rifle which can have a detachable mag. Either way you’re capped at 10 rounds.
