LOOK! The 170 Assault Weapons Banned In Illinois

Illinois bans the sale and possession of firearms defined as “assault weapons” as well as .50 caliber rifles, .50 caliber cartridges, and high-capacity magazines.

Protect Illinois Communities Act

At the beginning of 2023, the Protect Illinois Communities Act banned the sale and possession of firearms now defined as “assault weapons” including assault weapon attachments, .50 caliber rifles, .50 caliber cartridges, and high-capacity magazines.

We have this weapons ban due in large part to the 2022 mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois. That shooting left seven dead and many more with permanent physical and emotional scars.

If you already owned one of the weapons on the 'banned list' you'll need to get an endorsement affidavit through your Firearm Owner’s Identification Card account before Jan. 1, 2024.

You can submit your affidavit by visiting the ISP’s Firearms Services Bureau website.
