Twostarrz Posted June 15, 2018 at 12:45 AM Share Posted June 15, 2018 at 12:45 AM I still wish these counties had gone further than just “not enforcing any further anti gun legislation “. I wish they had gone fully against the state and gone towards constitutional carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milq Posted June 15, 2018 at 01:18 AM Share Posted June 15, 2018 at 01:18 AM Wayne Co meeting was tonight. I was unable to attend so no idea what happened but suspect something will pass. Board seemed favorable last month but wanted to “make it our own” so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chancemccall Posted June 15, 2018 at 03:23 AM Share Posted June 15, 2018 at 03:23 AM Given that Mercer County has a small gun manufacturer whose primary product is an AR variation, and that there are many gun owners there, I'm surprised they aren't already on the map.

I also agree with Twostarzz: these should have the stronger language emphasizing unconstitutional laws shall NOT be enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison County has been trending right. Donald Trump won the county by almost 20,000 votes in 2016. https://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/illinois/ In addition, 15 of 29 county board members are Republicans.

Basically, if the government bans certain guns, including assault-style weapons, they simply wouldn't enforce it.""The decision will go to the full board for a vote next Wednesday."

InterestedBystander Posted June 21, 2018 at 06:29 PM Share Posted June 21, 2018 at 06:29 PM (edited) It is on the agenda for the Bond countys board meeting. Tonight (19 June) at 7 pm.Any update on Bond county? edit: http://www.wgel.com/news/2018/06/county-board-talks-gun-sanctuary-with-a-full-house/ County Board Talks Gun Sanctuary With A Full House Gun sanctuary was the main topic of discussion again at Tuesdays Bond County Board meeting. A large crowd gathered and for the second consecutive meeting, the proceedings had to be moved into the county courtroom to accommodate the audience. The Bond County Board proposed a resolution in support of the Second Amendment and residents weighed in during a discussion for over 30 minutes. Most audience members urged the county board to include language naming Bond County a sanctuary county for law abiding gun owners. Many counties in the area have passed sanctuary resolutions. These resolutions are not legally binding in any way, but are intended to send a message to lawmakers. The resolutions specifically speak out in opposition to four proposed House Bills and one proposed Senate Bill. Effingham Countys resolution goes so far as to say should those measures pass, the county will prohibit employees from enforcing them. Board members expressed hesitation to include the word sanctuary in their resolution. Bond County Board Chairman Howard Elmore told WGEL the board looked into other sanctuary counties and noted that the laws those counties were opposing hadnt passed yet. He also said the Bond County board did not want to instruct anyone to break any laws. Click below to hear his comments in full: Following discussion, board member Gerald Spanky McCray said the proposed resolution wasnt enough for those in attendance and moved to take no action on the matter and work on the resolution some more. That motion passed three to two, with Howard Elmore and Wes Pourchot voting no. The resolution proposed by the county board Tuesday follows Edited June 21, 2018 at 06:34 PM by InterestedBystander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcc Posted June 21, 2018 at 11:24 PM Share Posted June 21, 2018 at 11:24 PM Sad these board members do not understand nullification nor the Tenth Amendment. The Second Amendment is the Right of the People, not the State. The State, let alone the Federal government, should not be making any firearm laws. The county has the right to nullify an unconstitutional act. That said, the state attorney in that county should support the county's resolution to nullify. They use "discretion" all the time, and to which nullification should be held higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
