As MAGA sheriffs in IL refuse to enforce IL’s new gun safety law—a reminder that it's "state's rights" when it comes to banning abortion, immigration, books, lgbtq, & 'woke' businesses—but it's magically not state's rights when passing proven gun safety laws.😑

Absurd hypocrisy.

Moreover, gun safety measures also save the lives of law enforcement. If you care about ensuring police officers get home safer, as I do, then you’d want to ensure weapons of war are not on the streets.

@QasimRashid I live in IL. What is being done to force law enforcement to comply with the law? Where should we be putting pressure to make it happen?

How about refusing to fund any departments that refuse to comply with the law?
Cities/ counties can surely hire/create department that will follow the law.
Impeach any elected (sherrif?) officials that decide not to honor their oath of office.

Not from Illinois, but I'm assuming it would be the IL legislators. In some States, the Governor can simply remove elected officials. For example, in Florida, the Governor can remove any elected School Board member. In fact, that's the only way (outside of the next election) to get rid of them.
