The Illinois legislature passed HB5471 and Pritzker signed it of course. Both K3 county legislators voted NO on it, due credit to both of them, Jackie Haas and Patrick Joyce. The “Protect Illinois Communities Act” which is what the excrement is referred to as is a violation of our 2nd Amendment rights and we believe the ISRA will lead the way in a lawsuit against it.

There is a lot of concern both nationwide and especially in Illinois of our 2nd Amendment rights being threatened by misguided politicians. They seem to believe that the only way to prevent criminals from getting guns is by preventing law abiding citizens from getting them, we know that is wrong. We need to support the NRA, ISRA and also the GOA.
****ILLINOIS STATE RIFLE ASSOCIATION STATEMENT ON FILING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
Today (Jan 25), the ISRA, along with our co-plaintiffs, filed a motion for preliminary injunction in our federal lawsuit (attached). Every day this statute exists, law-abiding gun owners are harmed, and we are stripped of our constitutional rights. Based on the merits of our lawsuit, we believe the court needs to stop the harm NOW. Funding our legal case is paramount.We can only do this with your assistance. Please consider donating to the Legal Assistance Committee HERE The time is now. Please help. Thank You, Richard Pearson, Executive Director. Link to motion for preliminary injunction
****Message from Kankakee County Sheriff to residents:
As your Sheriff, I wanted to give citizens of Kankakee County an update on the recent passage of HB 5471, also known as the Protect Illinois Communities Act. As your duly elected Sheriff my job and my office are sworn, in fact, to protect the citizens of Kankakee County. This is a job and responsibility that I take with the utmost seriousness. Part of my duties that I accepted upon being sworn into office was to protect the rights provided to all of us, in the Constitution. One of those enumerated rights is the right of the people to keep and bear arms provided under the 2nd amendment.
The right to keep and bear arms for defense of life, liberty and property is regarded as an inalienable right by the people.
I, among many others, believe that HB 5471 is a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.
Therefore, as the custodian of the jail and chief law enforcement official for Kankakee County, that neither myself nor my office will be checking to ensure that lawful gun owners register their weapons with the State, nor will we be arresting or housing law abiding individuals that have been charged solely with non-compliance of this Act.
-Sheriff Mike Downey
