State Representative Dave Severin is co-sponsoring legislation that would require Illinois State Police to destroy gun-registry upon a court decision ruling the assault rifle ban unconstitutional.
He says the bill would protect the private information of law-abiding gun owners.
A lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the firearms and magazine ban signed by Governor JB Pritzker in January is currently working its way through the legal system.
According to the language of the firearms and magazine ban, beginning October 1st specific firearms purchased before January 10th of this year are required to be registered with the Illinois State Police by January 1st, 2024. The firearms required for registration were also banned from being purchased in Illinois effective January 10th of this year.
