Nullification Gets It Done, Again!
While known for its big-city crime and leftist politics, the state of Illinois recently gave liberty-minded activists a lesson in how nullification is used to protect the God-given rights of citizens.
After the July 4 Highland Park shooting last year, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed into law many curtailments on gun ownership, reflecting the usual black-guns-and-large-capacity-magazines-bad mentality.
Shortly thereafter, something encouraging happened. Rather than simply complying with the new gun-control law, 74 Illinois sheriff’s departments publicly announced they would not be enforcing it. The Chicago Tribune recently reported that the number has now grown to more than 90. The state has 102 counties. You do the math.
