Guns.com reports that Illinois governor Quinn wants to ban AR-15s and high cap mags. He is of course using the shooting in Colorado to push his ideology and will no doubt use the recent shooting in Wisconsin as well.

As reported by the Associated Press, the proposal would specifically ban the AK-47, AR-15 and TEC-9.  And in a way, it would be confiscatory.  In other words, if one couldn’t prove they had purchased the firearm prior to the ban, then he/she would face punitive consequences.
