One of my Marine buds in Chicago wants to expand his gun collection w/ some of the firearms we encountered in Iraq (AK, M-16)- Is this a GO or a NO GO in Illinois? Any info would be appreciated....

From what I know possesion of automatic firearms also know as NFA weapons under the Gun Control act of 1968, the state of Illinois not not allow possesion of.

Yeah, you aren't going to be able to own full auto nor burst weapons in IL. However you can own the semi-auto versions. However however, you probably can't own either in Chicago.
