I'm always intrigued when I see a move like this.  You know this one will be ruled unconstitutional pretty quickly.  I wonder if they intend to simply nullify the Second Amendment in Illinois or whether they intend to secede from the good ole USA.  Pritzger and the state pimps that follow his lead are an interesting bunch.

Grundy County Illinois Sheriff’s Department Notice

As your Sheriff, I want to give the citizens of Grundy County an update on the recent passage of HB5471, (Assault weapons ban) also know as the Protect Illinois Communities Act.

As your duly elected Sheriff my job and my office are sworn, in fact, to protect the citizens of Grundy County. This is a job and responsibility I take with the utmost seriousness. Part of my duties I accepted upon being sworn into office is to protect the rights provided to all of us, in the Constitution. One of those enumerated rights is the right of the people to keep and bear arms provided under the 2nd amendment.

The right to keep and bear arms for defense of life, liberty and property is regarded as an inalienable right by the people. I, among many others, believe that HB5471 is a clear violation of the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution.

Therefore, as the custodian of the jail and chief law enforcement official for Grundy County, that neither myself nor my office will be checking to ensure that lawful gun owners register their weapons with the State, nor will we arrest or house law abiding individuals that have been arrested solely with non-compliance of this Act.

Ken Briley
Sheriff

It's madness! Another reason I'm glad I don't live in Illinois anymore.

Pretty much any semi-auto-

Completely unconstitutional-

The Supreme Court needs to slap Pritzker hard-

And this Democrat Communist was just reelected-

I just don't understand the people needing to flush their rights down the toilet by voting for this tyrant-

Counties all over the state have stated that they will refuse to enforce the law.

Think of all those lever guns with attached grenade launchers that are now banned.

I already told my kids that the Nerf guns have to stay in Tennessee when they go visit Grandma and Grandpa in Illinois
