The Illinois Assault Weapons Ban's mandatory registration deadline of January 1, 2024, appears to have been a gamble that has failed due to extremely low compliance rates (approximately 1%). The state's decision to keep the registration portal open past the deadline indicates they are in a difficult position, facing a choice between admitting defeat or escalating enforcement, which could lead to legal challenges. This situation highlights a broader trend of low compliance with firearm registration laws.
This video discusses the Illinois "assault weapons ban" and the requirement for firearm registration. The speaker, an Illinois resident, expresses strong opposition to the law, viewing it as unconstitutional and ineffective. He highlights concerns about potential confiscation, the low compliance rate among registered firearm owners, and the law's impact on law-abiding citizens, gun stores, and the shooting sports community. The speaker also contrasts the state's response to the Highland Park shooting with its handling of other violent crime issues.
This video analyzes the low compliance rates for Illinois' firearm registration law, the Protect Illinois Communities Act, as of January 1, 2024.

The speaker advises against self-incrimination by registering late and suggests Illinois citizens are resisting unconstitutional laws.
This video from Copper Jacket TV discusses the "Protect Illinois Communities Act" and the low compliance rates for firearm registration just days before the deadline.
