Illinois State Police encourage registration of assault-style weapons

CHICAGO - Illinois State Police are urging gun owners in the state to register their assault-style weapons in compliance with the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which went into effect at the start of the year.

The legislation prohibits the sale of 170 firearms, but owners of previously possessed weapons can maintain them if they are registered with the state before January 1, 2024.
