It was yet another terrible weekend of violence in the city with the toughest so-called gun-control laws in America - Chicago!
Five are dead and 35 are wounded including a 12-year-old boy.
But that isn't stopping the gun grabbers of Illinois. They continue to believe the answer to their 'gun violence' problem is to further restrict guns. No one is even contemplating that this is a people problem.
Well now some counties in that State are fighting back, declaring themselves 'Sanctuary Counties' - stealing language from places in America that choose to ignore Federal Immigration laws.
“It’s a buzzword, a word that really gets attention. With all these sanctuary cities, we just decided to turn it around to protect our Second Amendment rights,” said David Campbell, vice chairman of the Effingham County Board, according to a Fox News report.
And the word is getting out! Around 20 other counties in Illinois have asked for copies of his county’s resolution. He also said officials in Oregon and Washington, have also asked for copies, according to the same report.
My favorite quote however, belongs to a Democrat. She is not happy at all!
Fox: “I don’t think you can say, ‘I don’t agree with the law so I won’t enforce it,’” said Kathleen Willis, a Democratic state representative from suburban Chicago who sponsored some of the gun legislation. “I think it sends the wrong message.”
Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? :-)
