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?

@PamSourelis @QasimRashid @juca laws are always enforced at the discretion of law enforcement, often to the detriment of the most vulnerable.

@c0dec0dec0de Yes. And those with privilege need to be calling it out more often, in ways that might make a difference.
