1. “Opponents argue the law violates the 2nd Amendment’s right to bear arms.
   “I, among many others, believe HB 5471 is a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,” LaSalle County Sheriff Adam Diss wrote in an open letter, posted on the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association Facebook page.
   “Therefore, as the Custodian of the Jail and Chief Law Enforcement Official for LaSalle County, that neither myself nor my office will be checking to ensure that lawful gun owners register their weapons with the State, nor will we be arresting or housing law-abiding individuals that have been arrested solely with non-compliance with this Act,” he wrote.
   Several other sheriffs have posted similar letters on the page, which were crafted by the association. At least 74 different sheriff’s departments say they will not enforce the new legislation.
   Local law enforcement agencies do not have the power to determine constitutionality, supporters of the law counter.
   “Their job is to enforce the law, it’s not to interpret the Constitution. We leave that up to the courts,” Ed Yohnka of the American Civil Liberties Union told WEEK-TV in Peoria. Ill.”

   Dozens? At “at least74 different sheriff’s departments”, that number is bigger than half a gross. Oh, and thanks for NOT supporting our civil rights, ACLU.

2. Nation wide, the sheriffs are the problem.

   The sheriff is the highest law enforcement official in every county. If the sheriffs refused to support gun control there would be none. If the sheriff refuses to support the constitution he is THE problem.

   Seems to me it is also within the power of the sheriff to arrest alleged “representatives” who violate their oath to protect and defend the constitution or suborn treason outside the well.

3. The count was up to 90 the last I heard.
