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?

@PamSourelis @QasimRashid

Yes, I'm wondering the same. When some sheriff's said they wouldn't enforce this law, Pritzker reportedly said, "Yes you will".

So how does he handles this?

@juca @QasimRashid I would contact my state rep and senator, but they're both Republicans; the rep is a MAGA republican. So I guess I'll contact the governor's office and see what they have to say.

Me, too! Are you in Southern IL by chance?

@juca No, I'm in Woodstock, 60 miles NW of Chicago, my home town. Woodstock is blue, but the county is red, red, red. I'm going to call the McHenry County sheriff's office tomorrow and see what they have to say about this.

@garpu Good question. Let me find out what the governor's office has to say about the threat from these sheriffs.
