   manufacture,  delivery, and possession of  a large capacity ammunition      
   feeding device (a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar  device      
   that  has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored  or converted      
   to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition and any  combination   of      
   parts  from  which  such  a  device  can  be  assembled).  Establishes

   device,  render  the  device  permanently  inoperable,  relinquish the      
   device to a law enforcement agency, or  remove  the  device  from  the      
   State.   Establishes  as  an  affirmative  defense to a violation, the      
   delivery or possession of a large capacity ammunition  feeding  device      
   while  in  the performance of their official duties by peace officers,      
   correctional institutional employees and officials, and members of the      
   Armed Services or Reserve Forces of the United States or the  Illinois      
   National Guard.  Establishes penalties for violation.
