That is actually weak stance. Chicago Dems are going to be laughing, oh no Grundy county does not like our gun bill... Even if that passes, still don't feel they should be considered a sanctuary county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedbump Posted December 17, 2019 at 02:52 AM Share Posted December 17, 2019 at 02:52 AM the last line of the White County version reads: Obviously it's not in the form of a question, but it's just worded fancier than the rough draft/template my county board is starting from. The board members will discuss/debate the exact final wording and then vote on the final version that will appear on the ballot.The state's attorney liked that wording more than the other versions he'd seen, and recommended it be adopted without modification. It was best (IMHO) kept simple and to the point. Some versions get confusing about whether the YES or NO choice is in support or opposition of the "Whereas-es". Most of those I borrowed &/or modified from elsewhere when I wrote it. The resolution had already been approved months before. That was modified from the Madison County version, since they were reluctant to use the term "sanctuary." It was edited out, but I relied on stronger focus on oaths and Constitutionality.

That CONCEPT, is expressly to counter the mob rule, oppression by cities, etc. Basing it on Population, like Illinois does, just makes no sense. Why even have it (if one wants a fair and equitable state government)? It's just a worse rendition of the Reps.

The federal senators are elected by popular vote, use to be appointed by states, BUT they were supposed to be a check against congress(house) and 2 represent each state regardless of population. So the notion of 1 person 1 vote makes no sense, I guess maybe it was based on how it was argued and what question was being asked. We should have 1 senator per county, and that would be a check on the mobocracy. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Senate-United-States-government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those jurisdictions that have passed Second Amendment sanctuary ordinances and resolutions usually vow that they will not follow gun-control statutes they believe violate the U.S. Constitution. The declarations are not legally binding, but they do send a message to state lawmakers and others that the jurisdiction will fight such limitations on their right to bear arms....

InterestedBystander Posted February 13, 2020 at 03:24 AM Share Posted February 13, 2020 at 03:24 AM Piatt county under consideration Full story at link https://www.wcia.com/local/piatt-county-board-to-consider-becoming-2nd-amendment-sanctuary/ ...MONTICELLO, Ill. (WCIA) The Piatt County Board may soon become a Second Amendment Sanctuary County. What that means is the county will not enforce any laws that infringe upon Second Amendment rights or gun rights. Most counties in the state are already sanctuary counties. The only counties that arent are Rock Island, Lee, DeKalb, Cook and Piatt. Supporters say this is a way for counties to say they support gun owners. This is not just guns either. The second amendment applies to all arms, in other words, the knives in your kitchen are arms, and this applies to those. The right to bear arms should not be infringed, said supporter Steve Shreffler. Monticello Police Chief John Carter says he believes this is the countys way of being proactive in case anything goes too far on a state level... resolutionhttps://www.wcia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/44/2020/02/PIATT_COUNTY_SANCTUARY_COUNTY_RESOLUTION-1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterestedBystander Posted February 15, 2020 at 05:52 PM Share Posted February 15, 2020 at 05:52 PM Full story at link NOTE: Township and not county Board votes for McHenry Twp. to become a gun sanctuary https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20200214/board-votes-for-mchenry-twp-to-become-a-gun-sanctuary ...McHenry Township board trustees voted unanimously Thursday to adopt a resolution to make the township a sanctuary for gun owners. A gun sanctuary prohibits or impedes the enforcement of certain gun-control measures perceived as violative of the Second Amendment. The reason for the vote at the township level, Trustee Steve Verr said, is because the McHenry County Board won't take a vote on the resolution. "When so many counties are adopting it, there's no need for township to adopt it. It's only when things get stagnated at the county level where the townships can take action, so we're doing that right here and now, and we're making a statement to the county board to let this thing come up for a vote," Verr said. While Board Supervisor Craig Adams was not against the gun sanctuary resolution, he said it should've been done at the county level instead. "If we pass this, we have no agreements with the sheriffs in the township areas. It has no teeth," he said. "I would refer to the county because they have law enforcement." Wonder Lake resident Sue Rose agreed with Adams that at the township level, the resolution is "pointless." Some residents tore up the resolution in opposition....
