Unfortunately the "stupid political BS" that not so long ago we poo pooed, laughed at and mocked (rightfully so btw) is now beating down our front doors, stealing our hard money, tearing down history, telling us we are the enemy and threatening us with fines imprisonment etc!
The NFA laws are a perfect example of this. There has to be tons of NFA stuff out there never papered. Once in a great while they will "catch" someone with some. Normally they were idiots and made it real easy. Most of the rest? May go their life and never have a problem. To what end though? They can't go to a range to shoot with them. They can't use to them defense. The entire time they have them they know that if for some reason they get on the wrong side of the law and they are found they will make an example out of them. Fed's have no need or even desire to go door to door looking for them.
Yep, I agree. It's not much fun to not comply if you have to keep the non-compliance hidden in the basement.
We have a section for political content....if someone wants to post a political comment then that is the place for it.
Why......?
Maybe a person will get lucky and find an FFL who has hopped on the non-compliance bandwagon.

No....that is unlikely and just as simple as your post #65
I doubt more than a few will take that risk, and the few that do will be found out quickly. Might be smart to steer clear of such readily uncovered schemes.
Wally at Gator's Custom took that risk to get standing in order to sue Turd Ferguson. His act of noncompliance may very well get the unconstitutional law tossed.
Massachusetts has an anti "AW" law, requiring registration. After 5 or so years I think compliance with that is running under 5% and the other 95% are still walking free. California's registration compliance was about 15%. Nobody checked for registration at the ranges. Registration is just another BS libtardy stunt to try to dissuade people from owning evil guns.I would like to believe in mass non-compliance in Illinois, but the likely reality is it's less active non-compliance and more passive non-compliance through ignorance of the new law. I'm sure there is a good pile that have consciously decided to not comply, but the vast majority may just simply be unaware they will be in violation come Jan 1.
The question I have though is the ammo declaration. What ammo are they supposed to be declaring? All "AW" ammo?
The last stats I saw listed something like 8k people declared 15k, so called, "AW's" but only 300ish ammunition declarations. Does that mean 7700ish folks don't have ammo for their declared "AW's"?
(Caveat... I haven't actually read the full text of the King's new folly.)
Of curious note: It seems 90+ sheriffs in Ill have come out to say they consider the new unconstitutional law more of a "request" until SCOTUS rules on it and would not be enforcing any part of it... except... as an add on charge to another primary violent crime charge.
What's your point?
I thought as much but I wanted to be sure. Let me ask folks to consider this: The Massachusetts noncompliers have been noncomplying for over a decade and the California ones have been noncompliant for (depending on which law they aren't complying with) 24 years (SB-23. 2000) or 34 years (Roos-Roberti 1989) in neither case have there been anything like a mass arrest for having an unregistered "assault weapon". I would challenge people to come up with a case of any raids against noncomplying gun owners. I'll grant that there have been people who were DUI or carrying drugs that got an AW confiscated, but they were bubblegumups that in all likelihood were not noncompliant for the sake of a political statement, but rather some knothead who didn't know the gun was "banned" or felons in possession who should never have had the gun in the first place. There haven't been razzias or sweeps or raids on people for suspected gun ownership unless they had a restraining order.
This is it right here.
