Assault ammunition means any ammunition magazine having a capacity of more than twelve (12) rounds of ammunition.
They expand the definition of "antique firearms" to those only having unavailable ammo or are rendered inoperable:
Antique firearms means any firearm, including, but not limited to, any firearm with matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap or similar type of ignition system, which is incapable of being fired or discharged; or any firearm manufactured before 1898 for which cartridge ammunition is not commercially available and is possessed as a curiosity or ornament or for its historical significance or value.
Assault weapon is anything they say it is:
(3) Any weapon that the President, the Board, or the Sheriff defines by regulation as an assault weapon because the design or operation of such weapon is inappropriate for lawful use.
Has the potential to ban laser pointers:
Laser sight accessory means a laser sighting device which is either integrated into a firearm or capable of being attached to a firearm.
AP ammo is anything that can penetrate Class I:
Metal piercing bullet means any bullet that is manufactured with other than a lead or lead alloy core, or ammunition of which the bullet itself is wholly composed of, or machined from, a metal or metal alloy other than lead, or any other bullet that is manufactured to defeat or penetrate bullet resistant properties of soft body armor or any other type of bullet resistant clothing which meets the minimum requirements of the current National Institute for Justice Standards for "Ballistic Resistance of Police Body Armor".
And then absolute nonsense:
Solenoid use-limitation device means a device which precludes, by use of solenoid, the firing of the handgun unless a magnet of the appropriate strength is placed in proximity to the handle of the weapon.
Let's see if the Brady's support this one.

Good lord they've lost their freakin' minds.
So...in regards to the "metal piercing bullet" that is "manufactured to defeat or penetrate bullet resistant properties of soft body armor"
Does that take into consideration things such as age, improper fit, whether it's wet or not? Last time I looked those were all things that reduced the effectiveness of body armor.
It is pretty much a cut and paste copy of the Chicago laws.
For an idea of the registration form, check out my blog at http://www.chicagohandgun.org. Most likely if they copied Chicago's ordinance they will copy the form.
My guess is that Daley put them up to this. He has to know he is next on the block after D.C. and probably thinks he is better off with Cook behind him.
I think it's a tactical mistake. All he will accomplish is increasing the pool of likely plaintiffs. It's like a big twofer.
