What does this mean?

It means Illinois will have to release Arsonists, Burglars, Robbers out of prison to put you in for having a flash suppressor or a non-fixed stock on your carbine.

Good, they can get the real criminals off the street and make Chicago a safer place

Well at the rate they keep "accidentally" releasing murderers or letting them escape, it should all balance out.
