FWIW Essup, you read this wrong, ownership prior to enactment is "grandfathered" if you provide the list. An individual is not required to sell.

Steve:
I thought that just applied to .50 caliber guns, not all the ones that were listed. Let me go read it again.
Edit:
You are correct, but I found this tidbit about the .50 caliber ammo. (b) Except as provided in subsections (c), (d), and (e),
19 on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
20 102nd General Assembly, it is unlawful for any person within
21 this State to knowingly manufacture, deliver, sell, or
22 purchase or cause to be manufactured, delivered, sold, or
23 purchased by another, an assault weapon, assault weapon
24 attachment, .50 caliber rifle, or .50 caliber cartridge.
So, if you own a .50 caliber gun (could be 50 AE or .500 S&W) you had better stock up on ammo or you won't be able to shoot it. I bet the internet companies won't ship anything .50 or larger to Illinois like the restriction that they now have in place about shipping ammo to a Chicago residence.
I read the first part and not what was after it in regards to the 300 days and assault weapon. If you live out of state and posses any of those firearms, you cannot own them once you move to Illinois. You are required to sell them before moving there or store it somewhere not in Illinois.
25 (c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), 300
26 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
10200SB2226ham002 - 67 - LRB102 17220 RLC 42454 a
1 102nd General Assembly, it is unlawful for any person within
2 this State to knowingly possess an assault weapon, .50 caliber
3 rifle, assault weapon attachment, or .50 caliber cartridge.
4 (d) This Section does not apply to a person who possessed
5 an assault weapon, assault weapon attachment, or .50 caliber
6 rifle prohibited by subsection (c) of this Section before the
7 effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
8 Assembly, if the person has provided in an endorsement
9 affidavit, under oath or affirmation and in the form and
10 manner prescribed by the Illinois State Police on or after 180
11 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
12 102nd General Assembly but within 300 days after the effective
13 date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly:
14 (1) the affiant's Firearm Owner's Identification Card
15 number;
16 (2) the serial number of the weapon or weapons;
17 (3) an affirmation that the affiant possessed the
18 weapon or weapons identified before the effective date of
19 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly.
20 The affidavit form shall include the following statement
21 printed in bold type: "Warning: Entering false information on
22 this form is punishable as perjury under Section 32-2 of the
23 Criminal Code of 2012. Entering false information on this form
24 is a violation of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act."
25 In any administrative, civil, or criminal proceeding in
26 this State, a completed assault weapon or .50 caliber rifle
10200SB2226ham002 - 68 - LRB102 17220 RLC 42454 a
1 endorsement affidavit submitted to the Illinois State Police
2 by the individual as required by this Section creates the
3 rebuttable presumption that a person lawfully possessed or had
4 completed a purchase of the assault weapon or .50 caliber
5 rifle before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
6 102nd General Assembly and is entitled to continue to possess
7 and transport the assault weapon.
8 Beginning 300 days after the effective date of this
9 amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly, the person with
10 an assault weapon or .50 caliber rifle endorsement may
11 transfer the assault weapon or .50 caliber rifle only to an
12 heir, an individual residing in another state maintaining it
13 in another state, or a dealer licensed as a federal firearms
14 dealer under Section 923 of the federal Gun Control Act of
15 1968. Within 10 days after transfer of the weapon except to an
16 heir, the person shall notify the Illinois State Police of the
17 name and address of the transferee and comply with the
18 requirements of subsection (b) of Section 3 of the Firearm
19 Owners Identification Card Act. If a resident of this State,
20 the heir to whom the weapon is transferred shall, within 60
21 days of the transfer, complete an affidavit required under
22 this Section. A person to whom the weapon is transferred may
23 transfer it only as provided in this subsection.
24 Except for any active-duty member of the United States
25 military who is transferred into this State on or after the
26 effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
10200SB2226ham002 - 69 - LRB102 17220 RLC 42454 a
1 Assembly, any person who moves into this State in possession
2 of an assault weapon shall render the assault weapon or .50
3 caliber rifle permanently inoperable, sell the assault weapon
4 or .50 caliber rifle to a federally licensed firearm dealer
5 outside of this State, or remove the assault weapon or .50
6 caliber rifle from this State.
