This senator announced that he would not comply with a new gun control law.
He risked everything to stand up for his Second Amendment rights.
And now millions of other gun owners are following suit.
Gun rights are only as good as the willingness of U.S. citizens and gun owners to defend them against the tyranny of politicians.
Darren Bailey, a former state senator from Illinois, certainly showed how far he was willing to go to stand up for the Second Amendment.
There is a new law in Illinois requiring all citizens with so-called “assault weapons” to register them with the government, likely in an effort to take them away at a later date.
But Bailey refused to comply with this order and announced that he would not be registering his guns.
Now millions of other Illinois gun owners are following suit and refusing to obey this new law and register their guns.
This is a major problem for the Illinois government who might find enforcement of the law extremely difficult.
And now the ball is in their court to see just how far they will go to put their boot on the necks of gun owners in Illinois.
According to The Truth About Guns, “Darren Bailey says enough is enough. Not only is he like 99.4% of Illinois gun owners not complying with Governor JB Pritzker’s new gun registration mandate, but he’s publicly posting his refusal. Bailey, the former Illinois State Senator and current Congressional candidate boldly touts ‘I will not comply’ in a series of social media posts.”
“Bailey’s public refusal to toe the line puts Governor JB Pritzker in a bind.
“Pritzker’s desires to run for the Democratic nomination for president is the worst kept secret in our state for a couple of years now. With each day of declining mental and physical acuity of President Let’s Go Brandon, another JB gets more and more excited for his prospects. On top of that, the Democrat National Committee’s convention will take place in Pritzker’s hometown of Chicago later this year. What better way, at least to Gov. Pritzker, to show off his fine leadership skills.”
“Unfortunately for JB Pritzker, the People of the Gun in the Land of Lincoln have declined to comply with the registration component of the law. While fifteen thousand had registered with just a week left in the process, millions have not.”
This should be inspiring to the millions of Americans elsewhere in the country who live in blue states like California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, or Oregon who own guns and want to protect their rights against the politicians looking to take them away.
Gun owners in Illinois have joined together and refused to comply with a tyrannical law.
Now Gov. Pritzker and the Illinois government are in a serious bind, and don’t have an obvious way to solve this problem they’ve created.
Ultimately, what should happen is that the law should be repealed. It remains to be seen whether the Illinois government will have that kind of common sense.
