Illinois Gun Registry Numbers


Recommended Posts

Screenshot from the twitter post referenced in the article.

 

There were 68, 992 registered firearms owned by 29,357 Illinois residents but only 528 of the people claim to have ammunition for the firearms?  Is this correct or were only specific types of rounds to be registered?

 

68,992/29,357 is 2.35 firearms per person

528/29,357 is ~1.8% of those residents are able to make their metal pieces go bang?

So a 50 Cal needs disclosed but it isn't actually the size as a 12 gauge slug is bigger.  It must be some secret combination of power and accuracy?  The opposite of the one they use for the 223 :-)

 

If we barrel the same gun in a slightly smaller 'equivalent' say 12 mm it is OK?

 

The games people play....

Isn't the federal limitation on cartridge rifles limited to .50 cal or is that only pistols?

All pistols and rifles and shotguns are limited to 50 cal unless there is a sporting use exemption.  Most 12ga and 20 ga get such an exemption.  There are a few big game rifles that have exemptions as well.
