 1                    AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 1195

 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill 1195 as follows:

 3    by replacing everything after the enacting  clause  with  the
 4    following:

 5        "Section  5.  The  Criminal  Code  of  1961 is amended by
 6    adding Section 24-1.7 as follows:

 7        (720 ILCS 5/24-1.7 new)
 8        Sec. 24-1.7. Manufacture,  possession,  and  delivery  of
 9    semiautomatic  assault  weapons,  large  capacity  ammunition
10    feeding devices, and assault weapon attachments.
11        (a) The General Assembly finds that the high rate of fire
12    and  capacity for firepower of semiautomatic assault weapons,
13    assault weapon attachments,  and  large  capacity  ammunition
14    feeding  devices  pose  a  significant  threat to the health,
15    safety, and welfare of the citizens of this State,  that  the
16    use  of  these  weapons, devices, or attachments for sport or
17    recreation is substantially outweighed by  the  danger  these
18    weapons   or   devices   present  to  human  life,  and  that
19    restrictions should therefore be placed on  the  manufacture,
20    delivery,  and  possession  of  these  weapons,  devices, and
21    attachments.
