" Senate Bill 1195, sponsored by Senator Antonio Munoz (D-Chicago), bans any shotgun that has a bore of 50 caliber or more. It outlaws 10, 12, 16, 20 and 28 gauge shotguns and even muzzleloaders."
ONLY those shotguns which are semi-autos capable of holding MORE THAN 5 rounds. Furthermore, muzzleloaders are specifically excluded from the bill.
" ...the bill bans any shotgun that has threads inside the end of the barrel. That means any shotgun that has choke tubes would be illegal."
Please see above. No shotgun is specifically included in this bill due to choke tube threads.
" The bill also bans shotguns with a magazine capacity of more than four shells."
No...more than FIVE shells, and only if it' s a semi-auto.
" Sportsmen who hunt turkeys, deer, pheasants and other game would be criminals under SB 1195."
ONLY if they hunted them with semi-auto shotguns that had magazines capable of holding more than five shells.

Mike, like I said on the other thread...I do not support this bill in any way, shape, or form. However, it really grates on my nerves to see different " sportsmans groups" blatantly lieing out their rear ends about it.
When they resort to being a bunch of liars, it makes us all look just as bad.
