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 do we sound like hypocrites when we have sanctuary cities that don’t enforce immigration laws? I’m all for the sanctuary cities but makes it tough to then say “enforce the laws on the books!”, doesn’t it? Not a great precedent. Maybe I’m simplifying it too much 🤷🏻‍♂️

@mikequinn_ yes you’re over simplifying. Immigration law is federal law. And federal law can only be enforced by federal agents. State agents telling federal agents to do their own work, is not the same as a state agent telling a state govt to do their own work.

@QasimRashid fair enough. Like I said I’m in favor of both and I live in IL where my county sheriff isn’t going to enforce the weapons ban. Just something I thought of. Thanks for replying.
