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.
The video discusses the low compliance rate with Illinois's assault weapons ban registration deadline, highlighting that only 0.34% of FOID card holders registered their firearms.

The speaker questions the legislative power and future enforcement strategies of lawmakers in the face of such resistance.
