Frequently Asked Questions

What are the registration rates for the Illinois Assault Weapon Ban?

Registration rates for the Illinois Assault Weapon Ban have been extremely low, ranging from 0.5% to 1.8% across various counties. Even in populous areas like Cook County, compliance was less than 1%, indicating widespread non-adherence to the law.
