And while they are doing it, they keep on telling people it's a state's
right, not an individual right.

Illinois already has what they call an FOID (firearms ownership ID) and you
can't even touch a gun in a gun shop, let alone buy one.  Imagine having to
call your insurance company to get rates, then find out they're going to
charge extra because you're looking at a Mossberg 500 with a synthetic stock
and phosphate finish versus the model with the blued finish and wood hardare.
 Your rates will be different based on "scary" features.
