La Salle County voters — your opinion on your Second Amendment rights is requested.

Do you oppose bills passed by Illinois lawmakers restricting your Second Amendment rights? That’s the gist of a referendum that’ll appear on the Nov. 6 ballot.

At today's county board meeting, a resolution to place an advisory (nonbinding) referendum on the November ballot came before the board and passed. Two people talked during public comment on the matter before the vote.

Enumerated fundamental rights are not subject to referendum.

Their unalienable nature sets them above popular opinion.
 
Comment by: mickey (8/10/2018)
Um, PHORTO, this is another part of the 'sanctuary county' fad in Illinois:

If a majority of voters vote yes to the referendum, that they oppose Illinois lawmakers creating or passing legislation that infringe on Second Amendment rights, the county clerk is directed to prepare and deliver copies of the resolution to all members of the Illinois General Assembly and the Office of the Governor.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S. Brown, Prohibition Fever, NationalReview.com
