The deadline for Illinois gun owners to register their assault weapons and attachments has come and gone. However, many people are still confused about the law and one former state lawmaker is encouraging people to not comply.

Over 29,000 people registered their assault weapons before the state’s January 1 deadline. Information about nearly 69,000 firearms and almost 43,000 attachments was submitted to the Illinois State Police.

Still, leaders from the Illinois State Rifle Association say they have received hundreds of phone calls and emails from people asking for recommendations regarding the registration process.

Meanwhile, former Republican lawmaker and GOP gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey said he will, “die on his porch” before he gives up his guns. The downstate congressional candidate is now sharing a video on social media showing Bailey shooting multiple guns while aiming at a target with the words “I will not comply.”

According to our news partners at WAND-TV the Illinois State Rifle Association is preparing an appeal for the U.S. Supreme Court to find the entire law unconstitutional.

State police say they will work with the States Attorneys offices to insure the law is being enforced strictly and properly.
