The sane part of Illinois has a fun way to stick it to the liberals in Chicago and Springfield.
The Daily Caller reports:
Counties in Illinois are fighting back against the state legislature on gun control by passing “sanctuary” resolutions designed to protect law abiding gun owners. Five rural counties in the state have taken a page out of the Democrats’ immigration playbook and used “sanctuary” in their proposals, according to Fox News.
“It’s a buzzword, a word that really gets attention. With all these sanctuary cities, we just decided to turn it around to protect our Second Amendment rights,” David Campbell, vice chairman of the Effingham County Board told Fox News. Close to 20 other counties requested copies of his county’s resolution to review the details and possibly mimic the proposition, Campbell said.
“We’re just stealing the language that sanctuary cities use,” Effingham County prosecutor Bryan Kibler told Fox News. “We wanted to … get across that our Second Amendment rights are slowly being stripped away.”
The problem the state faces is that if they take the Effingham County to court, their authority might be overruled, as the Second Amendment could trump any authority Ilinois has to enforce their state laws. Cue the liberal outrage, as it’s certain to prompt hypopcritical screams from the left. It will be an event to savor, as they get a taste of local authorities undermining their mandates.
