    Being from Illinois, I can tell you that any movement in the direction of pro gun ownership is a huge win in the land of Lincoln for gun owners/appreciators .

    The reality of it all, unfortunately, is that Springfield( the figurehead capitol) defers to whatever the Chicago crew wants. It won’t change until Chiraq is sold to Canada.

    Illinois State Rep. Kathleen Willis Goes After 'Gun Sanctuary' Counties - The Truth About Guns
    Illinois State Rep. Kathleen Willis Goes After ‘Gun Sanctuary’ Counties


    So much fail in this.
    Basically, everything Sanctuary for Illegal Immigrants is above reproach.
    And everything Sanctuary for Guns is BAD.


    Select parts.


    WHEREAS, Gun violence is an epidemic in Americaand in Illinois, touching all parts of the State; and

    WHEREAS, The legislative and executive branches of theState have lawfully regulated guns and gun trafficking; and

    WHEREAS, The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the
    constitutionality of reasonable state gun violence prevention
    regulations; Conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito
    stated in the McDonald decision that state “experimentation
    with reasonable firearms regulations will continue under the
    Second Amendment”; and

    WHEREAS, President Trump’s administration appears to be
    willfully ignoring the problem of gun violence in America, and

    at the same time, is attempting to coerce municipal police
    forces into diverting their resources towards harassing
    immigrant populations;
    opposed having their local law enforcement used for such
    purposes and have been dubbed “sanctuary cities”; and

    WHEREAS, Some counties in Illinois have erroneously tried
    to liken the cause of a sanctuary city with opposition to gun
    violence prevention measures by declaring themselves “gun
    sanctuary counties”, thereby declaring their intention to
    refuse to enforce any gun safety measures lawfully passed by
    the State with which they disagree; and
    sanctuary cities as an excuse to unlawfully ignore important,
    democratically-implemented, state laws; and
    WHEREAS, These so-called “gun sanctuary counties” arenothing more than scofflaw counties, usurping the judiciary and
    role of separation of powers in our government, while openly
    encouraging criminal behavior; therefore, be it
