Yea that’s the worst part. They can literally pass just about any law they want overnight and it will take us years and tons of money, plus tax dollars for them to defend it, to hopefully get it injoined then hopefully overturned.

I listened to the whole thing. One of the proponents of the bill said that this exact sort of legislation had previously been passed for other things and that there were already statutes on the books in the state, apparently for some time.
If true, I suppose those statutes have been held constitutional. Or nobody has had the money to fight them, yet.

It may be the law but gun owners are not complying very much.
Illinois' new "assault weapon" and magazine ban is in effect, and on October 1, that state opened its registry for grandfathered weapons and magazines so that owners who already have legally purchased weapons can register them with the state. Illinois gun owners, of course, rushed to register their weapons and magazines in compliance with the new law.
Illinois State Police published the first round of statistics Tuesday, and of more than 2.4 million Firearm Owner ID card holders, 1,050 individuals have registered a total of 3,202 firearms, .50 caliber ammunition and accessories.
“You’re at 0.0004%. That’s a rounding error,” gun rights advocate Todd Vandermyde told The Center Square.
