carry205 Posted January 13, 2023 at 12:08 AM Share Posted January 13, 2023 at 12:08 AM Mods: Has anyone compiled a map of the Illinois County Sheriffs statements rejecting HB5471? I thought I ran across one early in the situation, but now cannot find it. If someone has done this, can someone repost and keep it updated? Hopefully I’m not stepping on anyone’s toes. If so, please delete this. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodoun da Vinci Posted January 13, 2023 at 01:23 AM Share Posted January 13, 2023 at 01:23 AM County Sheriffs are elected so I do not think the Governor can "fire" them. I might be wrong but I don't think so. This is exactly what I have been afraid of over the years - the State Government goes mental and the chief law enforcement officers refuse to comply with unconstitutional "laws" and the result is a total mess. This is gonna be a mess for Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side 27 Posted January 13, 2023 at 02:10 AM Share Posted January 13, 2023 at 02:10 AM Lake County sheriff released a statement supporting the law on their Facebook as expected. The comments are brutal and much deserved. I would say 90% against him. Go check out their page before they delete all the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moms that Demand Action but never get any got him in. Curran had the lead, but over the course of several days the harvested mail-in ballots kept coming in and his lead slowly evaporated.

I cannot see the comments but one must ask why his department has those “killing machines” or “weapons of war”. Who do they plan to kill if that is all they can be used for.

once0217 Posted January 13, 2023 at 10:19 AM Share Posted January 13, 2023 at 10:19 AM The Governor has no authority to fire the Sheriff, but the County Coroner can. I wonder if they'll be any that will exercise that power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any country going to war with commercial AR15's is going to lose. Badly. Their infantry would die in droves. Weapons of (early) WWII. What an azshat!

Nah, the ones I clicked on the profiles for were moms from around the state. Most of the angry comments were from lake county residents although a couple folks I know from other counties got some good jabs in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikew Posted January 17, 2023 at 07:02 PM Share Posted January 17, 2023 at 07:02 PM Sheriff Mendrick catching some flack https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230117/retract-or-resign-county-board-members-assail-dupage-sheriff-over-weapons-ban-remarks DuPage County residents and several county board members are calling on Sheriff James Mendrick to either retract his statement about not enforcing the state's ban on some firearms or step down. Mendrick was not available for comment Tuesday morning and did not attend the DuPage County Board's judicial and public safety committee meeting where his stance drew sharp criticism from residents and board members. "Bottom line: Mendrick was elected to enforce the law and not interpret it," Elmhurst resident Amy Lippert said in an email read at Tuesday's committee meeting. "If he won't uphold his oath and enforce the law, he should resign or be recalled. If he wants to interpret laws, he can try to become a judge." Mendrick issued a statement Friday saying he believes House Bill 5471, which the governor signed into law Wednesday, is unconstitutional. The law, in part, bans the sale, purchase and manufacture of certain high-powered weapons and high- capacity magazines. It also requires those who already own such weapons to register them with the Illinois State Police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AO39 Posted January 17, 2023 at 07:33 PM Share Posted January 17, 2023 at 07:33 PM "Bottom line: Mendrick was elected to enforce the law and not interpret it," Elmhurst resident Amy Lippert said in an email read at Tuesday's committee meeting. "If he won't uphold his oath and enforce the law, he should resign or be recalled. If he wants to interpret laws, he can try to become a judge." It's pretty sad when people have no idea that the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and that when a state statute clearly violates not only the 2nd Amendment but the most recent Supreme Court decision regarding it, that no interpretation is necessary. The sheriff is simply upholding his oath as he should. The above resident needs to repeat 5th grade civics, and stop bothering the rest of us with her impaired cognition.
