SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Possession of assault-style weapons by anyone under 21 would be illegal under legislation that the Illinois House endorsed.
The legislation was OK’d 64-51.
Critics decried the idea that the government would confiscate property. Mussman said authorities will not visit homes to pick up weapons. But a first offense for getting caught with prohibited firearms would be a misdemeanor offense.

The bill is HB1465 .
