Videos tagged with Illinois Freedom Week

This video discusses the legal ramifications of Illinois' 'Freedom Week' for firearm purchases, contrasting it with California's similar event. It highlights that Illinois' 'Protect Illinois Communities Act' requires individuals to register newly acquired banned items, like high-capacity magazines, by signing an affidavit stating they were owned prior to the law's enactment. Purchases made during the 'Freedom Week' injunction period may not qualify for the grandfather clause, potentially turning owners into criminals if not properly registered or if the affidavit is falsified.

This video discusses the legal implications for individuals who purchased firearms or firearm attachments in Illinois during the "Freedom Week" injunction period (April 28, 2023 - May 4, 2023). It highlights that while purchases may have been initiated or completed, the delivery of newly purchased banned items is unlawful, and possession of such items will be unlawful starting January 1, 2024, unless an affidavit is filed by that date confirming prior ownership before the ban's enactment.
