Final rules will soon be approved for the state’ assault weapons ban.

Part of the ban is a weapon and gun accessories registry that is being kept by the Illinois State Police. That list is short right now, only one point two percent of gun owners have registered any weapons. Ed Sullivan with the Illinois State Rifle Association says the fault of the law and the registry isn’t on the Illinois State Police, but rather the people who wrote and passed the law. But if the law is struck down as unconstitutional, he says the ISP will destroy the records being kept as of now.

Legal challenges remain for the law, but the US Supreme Court did recently pass on stepping into temporarily block the law.
