as for the law, which should be struck down, ESPECIALLY on the gungrabber logic that "it only was meant to cover muskets" as a .510 would have been considered smallish in an 18th century military setting.

As far as I know, which isn't all that far, there's never been a modern big rifle used to commit a crime, other than the obvious theft of a valuable firearm itself

Cops have a family to feed, and an ego to feed, when they are told do this or find another job, what do you think they are going to do. As an Illinois resident, competitive service rifle shooter, coach of the Illinois Junoir Highpower team, and owner of a business that is firmly entrenched in the AR-15 world, this law has had an will continue to have a HUGE impact on my day to day life.

Nobody in Springfield can clearly tell me what my business can and can't do. Just have to ask and see how some pin head bean counter decides to interpret the law that day and that becomes the rule of the land. Sell an AR-15 barrel, sure no problem, a complete upper assembly with flash hider, go ahead, sell a plastic pistol grip, nope can't do it. It makes no sense. And I have zero faith in the Supreme Court to do anything about it. And once that happens, you will see the same thing passed in every blue state. And you think it doesn't apply to you hunters, just wait till some nut job uses a long range hunting rifle to take a few shots at a school playground from 700 yards, you will see scope magnification limits, velocity limits, suppressors banned, heck even Ballistic coefficient limits. I mean, the founding fathers did not make the second amendment so you could slaughter deer at 1000 yards. You think they wouldn't do it then it is time to get out from under your rock. And you shotgun shooters, put a black plastic stock and pistol grip on your 1100 and you will need to register it in Illinois.

Most competitive shooters I know have registered at least the rifles that they are going to compete with in case of someone checking at the range or if they get in some kind of car accident on the way to the range and the rifle is found in the vehicle.
