TINLEY PARK, ILLINOIS – JANUARY 11: Assault-style rifles now banned for sale in the state are displayed at Freddie Bear Sports on January 11, 2023 in Tinley Park, Illinois. Workers began removing banned items from display shortly after the store opened. Yesterday evening, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s signed legislation banning the sale of guns classified as assault weapons, rifle magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds and pistol magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds in the state. The Illinois State Rifle Association, citing 2.5 million gun owners in the state, has vowed to fight the legislation in court. Eight other states and Washington D.C. have enacted similar bans.
