Chicago Tribune:
It was no accident Effingham County’s resolution to protect the
rights of gun owners stole an important word from the very people the
resolution was intended to provoke, supporters of the country’s
sanctuary cities movement.
Effingham County State’s Attorney Bryan Kibler last month
told a raucous crowd the origin story behind the “Second Amendment
sanctuary county” movement, which began in Effingham and now includes 64
of the state’s 102 counties, counties in three other states, and nine
more states in which counties are eyeing similar nonbinding measures.
And as state legislators, emboldened by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, look at more
gun-control measures, counties are looking at more ways to resist them.
