Illinois has passed three new gun control bills that significantly impact firearm sales and ownership. HB 1468 mandates a 72-hour waiting period for semi-automatic firearms and all .50 caliber sales. HB 1465 bans the sale or transfer of assault weapons, attachments, .50 caliber rifles, and magazines over 10 rounds to individuals under 21, with grandfathering for existing owners. HB 1467 bans bump stocks and allows municipalities to regulate or ban assault weapons. Additionally, a Chicago ordinance proposed by Rahm Emanuel would require banks doing business with the city to impose restrictions on firearm-selling customers, including age limits and background checks.
