It's not unconstitutional because it doesn't infringe on your ability to bear arms. Specific types of guns are already banned on a federal level and have been for almost 100 years now.
Banning arms in common use is unconstitutional. Like it or not, these arms are in common use.
It's not a ban on ownership, it's a registration requirement and a ban on selling. There's no second amendment right to sell specific guns.
According to the AP, it is most certainly a ban on ownership. "Illinois banned the sale or possession of semiautomatic weapons". This is the core reason the law was overturned, it's unconstitutional to ban arms in common use.
It also says this in the article you linked:
So it would apply to new purchases, but not those already owned. I'm disappointed in AP's reporting on this, different parts of the article seem to contradict one another on what the law actuality does.
That's not correct, you have to register any on the list with the state police. The time period for that requirement has lapsed and many people thought they wouldn't have to do it as they believed the law was unconstitutional so they didn't do it. Standard semi auto guns are still legal to purchase and own without registration.
If they are banned, then they won't be in common use, so it would be constitutional.
If you think my logic is flawed then you understand exactly why the supreme Court's ruling is flawed.
