It’s about time people start exercising their 2a rights.
What are the 170 kinds? I can’t find a list.
Make the yellowbellied, RAT politicians come and take ‘em. No use forcing law enforcement people to sacrifice their futures for RAT politics.
Second amendment sanctuary counties?
A young municipal police officer I know very well was advised by his supervisor to arrest a vagrant. However, he could not cite a law or town ordnance that the vagrant was violating.
Since it was ultimately his call, as the beat officer, he declined to arrest the vagrant.
He told me later that he swore to uphold and defend the Constitution, even if he had to defend it from the people he works for.
Yes Pritzker it’s political theatre what YOU are doing by signing an unconstitutional law. It’s Opposite Day in Illinois! What part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is so hard to understand?
All that time and money wasted just to have it overturned in the courts
Lake county is a surprise (to me) it's typically a Red County, though it's trended purple in the last few years.
There about 7-8 counties that haven't issued statements at all, most in rural farming areas so they may just be 'flying under the radar' and choosing not to enforce it.
The remaining counties have all said they either won't support it at all, or support the 2nd Amendment.
As for me being a resident of HELLINOIS, I will not comply.
Especially knowing the state of records at the ATF, the fact they're not easily searchable, many lost records due to document damage/water damage, and that only approximately 1,000 record requests a day can be serviced.
Further, the State of HELLINOIS can't even find the 'resources' to get guns out of the hands of convicted felons in this state, who in their right mind thinks they'll have enough resources to come after every legal gun owner?
They can't. Anyone who "certifies" (that's the language in the bill, it's GUN REGISTRATION by any other name) their weapons with the state is an IDIOT.
When this "law" is found to be un-Constitutional as I fully expect it will be based on the lawyers for the gun club I'm a member of filing suitagainst it, only a FOOL would believe the State of HELLINOIS would delete the data they collected from all the IDIOTS who registered their weapon.
HELLINOIS RESIDENTS: DO NOT COMPLY!!
102 counties in Illinois
At least 80 Sheriffs wont comply.
Illinois, like many other states, isn’t as Blue as it’s made out to be.
Get rid of Chicago and is as Red as it can get.
Wow, 80 counties. How many counties total in IL?
The other distinguishing characteristic is that usually they cannot name their father or pick him out of a lineup.
Similar to the SCOTUS Marbury v Madison decision notably increased Court power in the US.
Not unconstitutional laws - which are to be rejected as null and void.
——lawful gun owners ——
That phrase begs the question. Who is a lawful gun owner?
How can the government differentiate between a gun owner and a gun possessor?
The governor should listen to his own advice. Stop signing unconstitutional legislation.
Yeah. And didn't Prickster take an oath to defend the constitution when he took office?
It looks like a wise decision on the part of the sheriffs. The Supreme Court will stop the ban.
This is good so far as the sheriffs go, but what about the State Police and municipal police departments, which latter probably have jurisdiction over, what, 95% of the IL population?
In Cook County, where would they even begin?
Soon to be 81 when our Sheriff tells Governor Creosote to go stuff himself.
