- - to the fire.
With "Loony Lori's" re-election loss (the 1st in 40 years !), Chicago may be in even bigger trouble. From what I have read from the Illinois Policy Institute, Vallas is/was in the employ of the Chicago Teachers Union and they were one of the biggest "supporters/instigators" for the recently passed Amendment 1. This is the PoS that gives the union bosses more power than the state's legislators.
On the other hand, Johnson is reported to be an ardent marxist.
God help Chicago (and IL-ANNOY).

CoL - they will just make "new" laws. They just passed a "public safety act" that will ban virtually ANY SA rifle that has any of various features - thumbhole stock, folding stock, detachable magazine, barrel either partially or completely covered that prevents the non-trigger hand from being burned, etc.
Todd Vandermyde has a couple of videos at Illinois Carry (dot) com in the "Judicial" forum under the title of "Barnett v. Raoul (3:23-cv-00209) (S.D. Ill. 2023) - NSSF Gun/Mag Ban" on pages 6 & 7 (https://illinoiscarry.com/forum/ind...-sd-ill-2023-nssf-gunmag-ban/page/6/#comments) OR at Youtube

(SA rifles, INCLUDING the 10/22)


Then, this Act also seems to ban both PUMP and SA shotguns !!

Here are some more videos from Todd. A recurring theme in these videos is the vague language in the PICA (Protect Illinois Communities Act).
This will also affect hunters that come from out-of-state that may not be aware of these new restrictions.


Magazines


Mini-shells


And even the Remington 870
