The Back Room is always a good place to post something if you're not sure where it needs to go.  The admins can move it or merge it with something if they feel it's relevant to a different section.

 

Thanks for posting it!

I do what I can.

It seems more like an Illinois Politics topic, so I moved it there.

Good video.  Thanks for posting.

Excellent video, Glad to see so many of our Sheriffs support the Constitution.

Representative Niemerg 

[Rangerdeepv]

Sheriffs know the US Constitution better than the ding-a-lings who pass the laws? Hooray and kudos to these LEO's who are carrying the water for the rights of all of us.

Some folks take their oaths seriously -- PTL.

My representative. But I will be calling him and admonishing him for using the term gun violence. He is falling into the trap.

Admonishing? He's your guy in Springfield not some school child. Try treating him as a partner and giving him the tools he needs to succeed.

I was planning on making it a learning experience. That is what a true partner does.

I respect them and hope this is true, but we'll see what happens when they are pushed.  Pensions, state money, etc.  Hope it doesn't turn into more cops destroying our rights while "just following orders".

They can send bachelors, freedom isn't free.

They don't need to kick down doors, they know your grandkids will turn them in for a $50 Starbucks gift card, because we weren't able to legally take them to the range and instil a pro 2A culture.

The pols who passed this law are not interested if it’s constitutional. Get it on the books and let us spin like tops for years figuring it out. they are playing the long game and spending taxpayer money to implement it, with voter support. When the ISP/ATF come crashing through the frt door try calling your sheriff for help. They will not aid in the enforcement, but I’m confident they’re not riding to our rescue.  So I’m sending checks, hoping for the best but preparing for what I fear is inevitable. Until the last highest court rules strict controls on MSAs unconstitutional, we are nowhere.

ATF isn't going to enforce state law, and no one is going to be kicking doors for non-violent infractions. 

 

In committee, concern was expressed that this law would be used primarily to target people of color.   Imagine ISP working with Sheriff Dart to prove that prediction correct, because without most of the other sheriffs' cooperation, it will be unenforceable almost everywhere except Cook County.

Idleburg stated not only will he enforce the ban, he stated that he wants a complete ban. The moms also get him elected over Curran with a ballot harvesting operation.  He has to pay them back.

He did say he wanted to do a town hall on the subject. I'm keeping an eye out for that. My first question will be why does he have so many if they are only for killing people.

How many Lake County constituents have forgotten their ancestors (or neighbors' ancestors) who were disarmed, held prisoner in terrible conditions, starved to death, or murdered? AND if they called the former POTUS "literally Hitler", why would they deny others the tools needed to oppose a similar oppressor? 

 

How many immigrants from oppressive regimes do Lake County Karens know who fled murderous regimes and want their 2nd Amendment rights intact?

I'm guessing the answer is zero.

More pointedly, ask why does his department ISSUE them to the officers in his employ if they are weapons of war, useful only for killing many people very quickly.  Who is he at war with?

I was thinking something along that line with a finish move of "I mean, you're the sheriff. You could have updated the policy with a simple email at any time and they'd be gone already."

Chicago affiliates ABC, NBC, CBS and I believe WGN reported it on their nightly news.  There was a long statement that was released but I don't see it on the LCSO website.  I also believe there was a short statement on twitter?  Or maybe facebook.
