The way things have been going around 2nd amendment jurisprudence, it is impossible to know what might happen. Is IL going to come in and argue these are military weapons? If so that could lead to an even broader interpretation of the 2nd amendment because at the time of the founding, there were no restrictions preventing citizens from having the same arms that the military did.

Part of the state's reason for banning is that there is only a small difference between the M-16 & AR-15, auto vs semi-auto and therefore are technically military weapons.

Also if you read some of the comments below the video, Pritzker's comments after the SCOTUS ruling is that "we don't want automatic rifles in Illinois."
