When Illinois first legalized medicinal any person that applied that had an Illinois gun card (Firearms Owner ID) was notified by the state police to turn in FOID and dispose of your guns. It was soon reversed and so far it's legal to own guns and a medicinal marijuana card.

There's a very stubborn anti-gun mindset in Illinois. They keep thinking up ways to get around the Second Amendment. For instance, Chicago flat-out banned handguns. The Federal Court declared the law
unconstitutional. So they passed a law allowing handguns so long as the owner registered and took a course that included time at a gun range. The same law
banned gun ranges! Back to court:
unconstitutional. Then they allowed gun ranges but put zoning restrictions on them so tight that none have been built. And banned 18 and under from even entering one. Back to court:
unconstitutional. So after years of litigation, it is still essentially impossible to legally possess a handgun in Chicago.
We can see just how effective that
de facto gun ban has been, can't we?
