You're right, the story is confusing. However, my point is valid, just not applying to the individuals in this case.

I see where the felon was charged with possessing a replica firearm (apparently a crime in that jurisdiction), but not charged with failue to register (have FOID card), while the others were, one for a gun, the other for ammo without an FOID card.

My point was, if you are legally prohibited from posessing a firearm, you cannot be charged with failure to register that (ilegally posessed) firearm, as it would be a violation of your rights. You can, and should be charged with posession, but not with failure to register it.
