This question is asked all the time. Short answer is yes get it. Short barreled rifles and things like the skorpion still require it. Also the feds are bothered by people having one so thats another valid reason to have it. The handgun ban is an OIC, not a law, which means it survives only as long as the govt does.

Excellent reply, thanks for the feedback.

I especially like the premise that it bothers the feds, so now I have to get it.
