Massachusetts and New York are about tied for being the state with the strictest gun control laws. In both of those states, one must have a permit just to own a handgun. However, Washington D.C., though not a state, has the strictest laws of all. They have an outright ban on handguns. You can have shotguns or rifles, but they have to be kept locked in a safe, without ammo. Also, they can't be semi-automatic.

When did Illinois begin requiring gun registration?

In 1838 Georgia banned all handguns. Supreme Court found the ban to be unconstitutional. However, to further answer the question, contrary to popular belief, there is very limited registration in the U.S. A few individual states require it, but only a few. There is no federal registration of "normal" firearms, such as handguns and rifles. Some items, known and NFA or Class III items must be registered with the federal government, and a few states don't allow those items within the state. This includes items such as machine guns, silencers, short rifles, and short shotguns.

Where is your stance on gun control?

Your question asks for an opinion. My opinion is that gun control laws are based on a flawed belief that a person who will break laws regarding murder, robbery and rape will obey another law that says they may not have a gun. There are already about 20,000 Federal, State, and local gun laws on the books in the US. Gun control laws frequently do little except keep law abiding people from being able to defend themselves.
