Giving up freedom to gain a false sense of security is one of the biggest mistakes ever.
I believe it was Benjamin Franklin that expressed that idea also.
And what are we going to do about it? Oh, nothing but complain on social media? We only have the illusion of freedom, same as always :/
@@genericdude6551 Those who forgo their liberties for a sense of safety deserve neither and will lose both. Benny franklin.
@@billbush-t5x Too bad so many people are willing to trade freedom for authoritarianism - until it's too late..
An AR-15 can be anywhere from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars. Doesn’t that make it’s freedom conditional?
It’s not a law because it’s unconstitutional. It’s null and void.
But if they have the chance they will arrest you and take your gun, you have to fight it out in court and you will never see your gun again, that is the BS purpose of this, so they can get their dam hands on your gun, they have no legal grounds, but your still out your weapon.
It’s our duty to not comply.

@@jdubb1973 found the NRA fudd!!!
@@jdubb1973 I don't think you get how it works
As a sheriff or any police officer, you have sworn an oath to the Constitution, not the bureaucracy that's taking over this country.
You want to bet your life on that legal theory?
@@travisleeabq you want to bet yours? Because anybody dumb enough to try and take my guns is leaving in a bag.

@@travisleeabq It's not a "legal theory" when the U.S. Constitution supersedes any gun and mag ban. If you ever noticed when state and local officials get sworn into office the United States Constitution is first and foremost then the state Constitution and the laws thereafter!
@@pwrserge83
If it comes to that, those who give
The orders are the ones to target.
Hats off to those Sheriffs who stand with the people and not the tyrannical government. The second amendment is our last line of defense against against our totalitarian democratic governments. There will be a second war of independence and our for-fathers seen this coming.
The Sheriff is not doing his duty in full. COLOR OF LAW: “The appearance or semblance, without the substance, of legal right.” State v. Brechler,
185 Wis. 599, 202 N.W. 144, 148. “Misuse of power, possessed by virtue of state law and made possible only
because [the] wrongdoer is clothed with authority of state, is action taken under ‘color of state law’.” Atkins v.
Lanning, 415 F. Supp. 186, 188.
CONCLUSION: Common Law is the law of the land; any statute in conflict with the Constitution is
unenforceable; and, to enforce such statute is a crime. It is the duty of the Sheriff and U.S. Marshal, being
Constitutional Officers, to make sure judges, officers of the court and all elected, appointed and hired servants
obey the law; and, when they violate the law under the color of law, it is the ‘DUTY’ of the Sheriff & U.S.
Marshal to arrest such public servant immediately.
If they really stood with the people they would arrest the politicians.
@@jerryraymer9929the fact that they haven’t been detained already speaks volumes. The sherrifs are shirking their duty in this regard.
Oh Yeah....and just who do I see about being protected from the guy down the street who does not accept any but his own view of reality? There are a realtively few firearm extremists making the case for all sorts of exotic weapons and accoutremont. They want to do what they want to do, when they want to do it and why. All they do is make things harder for gun owners who want to do the right thing, be good neighbors and support their society.
@jerryraymer9929 that's completely false. The law of the land IS the constitution. Local laws cannot suppress constitutional rights buddy. You're 100% wrong and that crap you posted means nothing in a courtroom.
Hooray and a long standing ovation for these Constitutionally correct Sheriff's and their deputies!
They are the real heroes right about now for sure
Don't jump for joy, all they have to do is find a way to force them out and replace them with there own..
Charges need to be filed against politicians that bring laws against the U.S. Constitution.
no gallows need to be set up
THAT would violate the law. The bill is not unconstitutional unless the court says it is. Charges need to be filed against the sheriffs who refuse to follow the law.
@jerrymason7887 "It's not unconstitutional unless the court says it is." Well, I guess North Korea is a democracy since their courts say it is. It is the duty of the people to destroy a government that attempts to destroy our liberties if the legal route doesn't work.
There are many laws which are constitutionally dubious and then there are some laws which are blatantly unconstitutional but the legislators don’t care.
One example is California passing a law which restricts concealed carry to be basically impossible in any public setting. There is absolutely no way that will not get rightly struck down by SCOTUS.
California is doing this because the judicial process for finding a law unconstitutional is slow, especially with the 9th Circuit Appeals Court in CA staffed by far left ideologues running interference for their preferred policies. But more importantly, there is zero personal accountability for the politicians involved in passing unconstitutional laws, and therefore zero incentive for them not to do so. They can just keep spamming unconstitutional laws and some of them will always be on the books because the courts just haven’t gotten to them yet.
When a law is taken to court and found to be blatantly unconstitutional, the legislators who voted for that law, the executive who signed the law, and any writers of the law need to be held accountable by at the very least being on the hook financially for the costs accrued defending that law in court.
That would very quickly put an end to such legislative spamming.
@@jerrymason7887The courts Don't need to say it is unconditional to make it unconstitutional. It it goes against the Constitution, it is unconstitutional.
Sheriffs are sworn in; this means they take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States. Politicians also take this same oath. When politicians try to strip rights from the people, they should be removed from office.
Your comment can go both ways at the same time.
@@andyjohnson3790 ?
Municipal police and federal enforcement officers also take the same oath. Much like the one I first took in '03 "...I will support and defend the CONSTITUTION against all enemies foreign and domestic and bear true faith and allegiance to the same..." BEFORE officers appointed over me or the office of thr President. When government becomes tyrannical, become ungovernable. I wont enforce anything unconstitutional either.
What are you gonna do about it? Nothing.
And charged with treason.
This needs to start happening, but how.
Lawyers that craft/support legislation that knowingly violate US/State Constitutions should be disbarred.
Or much much worse
And sent to prison
There is no way to claim that they "knowingly" violated the Constitution since the law is certainly potentially constitutional.
@@jerrymason7887once again "shall not be infringed". Doesnt get any more clear than that. Every law on the books regarding firearms in unconstitutional. Don't like it? Leave
The 2A isn't about crime. It's about defending yourself against a tyrannical government. Like the one in Illinois. This will be struck down.
Peteperkins, you are spot on.
Tyrannical government is in the Whitehouse.
Even though they allowed the "assault" weapons ban to pass here anyway ...
Actual unbiased reporting. This is honestly absurdly refreshing.
Yeah just letting us know everything that was said, verbatim, and showing interviews.
For real!
It's shocking to me. I live in a blue state and the local news is just as bad as CNN.
Not sure what an "assault weapon" is but yeah.
@@BiggumsMcHoney The Illinois definition is extensive, but they basically define it as any belt-fed, magazine-fed or fixed-magazine-fed semi-automatic firearm which has anything reassembling a stock or handrail.
Edit: Made the summary more accurate. They don't include automatic, just semi-automatic, for some reason. Also included belt-fed firearms.
Congratulations to the sheriffs and law enforcement that stand up for all our rights. Keep the oath.
Exactly!! This only effects law abiding people. That solves nothing. God bless these sheriff's for standing up for people's rights!

The sheriff may not enforce it but to local police is a different story
SLAVES HAVE NO RIGHT TO PROTECT LIFE!
ILLUSORY FELONY LAWS punish and permanently remove 2nd amendment protection rights for drinking/smoking pot & driving offenses! (CONTINUE READING!)
Who and where is the injured party to question in court when all of the offenses are pullover-and-blow arrests or, I smelt the odor of marijuana void of accident, incident, victim, or injured party.
This state felony law clearly lacks Jurisprudence!
State law says 3 offenses in a lifetime create a permanent non-reversible felony. These newly created (Mom & Dad) "non-violent" FELONS cannot ever protect themselves, their wealth, or their families! They have become eternal Slaves!
SLAVES HAVE NO RIGHT TO PROTECT LIFE! (Or to even possess a single bullet)
The STATE LAW lacks the victim requirement yet has nexus with FEDERAL LAW for state felony offenses!
The state felony law does not distinguish between "having a victim and injured party" vs "victimless" without any victim or injured party! (Simple pullover & blow arrests or on police testimony of marijuana odor!)
IRONICALLY the state law allows the DUI (Driving under the Influence) driver to keep the driving privilege and not the 2nd amendment right to life liberty and pursuit of happiness ....
Current state law clearly lacks distinction between two distinct separate classes of offenses! (With/Without Victim)

Shall not be infringed! Good job, sheriff.
As a black man from Chicago Illinois " totally agree
“The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.” I don't see where it says what type of gun, nor do I see how many bullets you can have
@@truthhurts5158 Yeah, which means that the type of gun or magazine size is not protected in particular, right? You just assume it's all guns/magazine sizes. Who said it is? At the time the Second Amendment was created, the predominant weapon was single-shot flintlock guns.
Also, you know damn well that the Second Amendment's original purpose was another one when created back in the day. Today's view of it is heavily biased thanks to the gun lobby indoctrinating the society so they can make more and more money. And it seems you willingly play right into their hands. Hurray!
@@katarn999 I don't like guns. If I had my way there would be no guns
@@katarn999 What was the original purpose of the Second Amendment?
Many historians agree that the primary reason for passing the Second Amendment was to prevent the need for the United States to have a professional standing army.

I wouldn’t say against the law so much as for the bill of rights. It’s much broader and this kind of tyrannical behavior is exactly why it was written. Pritzker should be jailed for his actions. Not applauded
People are making too much out of this. It's important to note that all of these sheriffs are only saying they will not enforce one specific provision of the law. That's the part that requires you to register firearms and magazines that fall under the grandfather exception. None of them are saying that they won't enforce any other part of the law or that they won't enforce the law as a whole.
And there is likely a more selfish motivation for them not wanting to enforce that particular provision of the law. In order to do that they would need to implement and maintain a system to be able to catalog all of that data. That would involve a huge amount of money and manhours most of them simply don't have.
@Rowgue51 the only selfish motivation here was the banning of so called assault weapons.
The number is now at 89.
@The Uncouth Truth I'd rather see him try to catch all the lead from every barrel that he wants banned. Something about fish in a barrel comes to mind. Let the criminals do their worst and maybe they will get voted out or stopped cold in their tyranny.
Why are these politicians not being put into prison for infringing on the civil rights of citizens they are sworn to protect?
Because we are living in an unconstitutional system as per the federal reserve act.
@@fredkruger7355 Is that how demonrats continually skirt around the constitution?
Huh? You want cops put in prison for enforcing laws? If a law is unconstitutional then you can bring your argument to court and get a judge to rule on it. That's how this works.
@@victorday2418 You might want to reread his original comment. He wants the state lawmakers imprisoned for passing said law in the first place.
@@GSRJeRDLe Thanks, I get tired of spelling it out. Victor could have just read it wrong and got hyped an fired off really quick but I couldn't say it just in case.
Legislator's writing unconstitutional laws need to pay for the cost of the litigation to overturn them, otherwise they just flood the courts with this garbage and tie up the courts time with frivolous legislation that targets law abiding citizens !
We need more Sheriffs like this.
We have many of them in rural Oregon but regrettably not in our lousy cities.
No, we don't.
💯
@@katarn999 yes we do, in what way is this law constitutional? Just makes more criminals.
@@LuccaAndretti We don't need servants from the executive branch of the government (e.g. sheriffs) to question the laws enacted by the legislative powers. That's the judicative powers' job (=in the end the Supreme Court).
What this sheriff does is basically violating the separation of power - one of the major cornerstones of US society, laid down in the US constitution itself (and by far more central in there than the 2nd Amendment). But he's obviously pro guns, so many people go "yay, great sheriff!".
For me that's absolutely hypocritical - the sheriff is trying to show off as a defender of the constitution - but is also only picking out the parts that suits his needs and is popular (=the 2nd Amendment). He probably just wants to position himself to be re-elected as sheriff. And what better way to do this than showing off by opposing this law and ensure the support of the powerful gun lobby and all its supporters?
Thank you standing up for the people of Illinois.
Illinois voted for these types of laws to be passed...so this idea of not enforcing it is not what the majority wants. Plain and simple. You would think they'd want to enforce this law since many use these types of weapons against law enforcement. Nope...all politics.
Glad to see there's a few Patriots left in Illinois!

"An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation as inoperative as though it had never been passed."
- Norton vs Shelby County (1886)
Well said! Like a try attorney.
Do you whytes realize there’s more than 2 amendments and most of them are being violated everyday lol
Do you realize that the second amendment, in conjunction with the first, is the only way to stop that from happening?
@@zazasnruntz7505: There are millions of Americans who have no idea what the Constitution says or that it can be amended, and that even current amendments can be amended. But they all know the 1st, 2nd and 5th Amendments by heart even though they don’t understand a word of the 2nd. It’s a dumb-sh*t culture embraced by ‘the poorly educated’ and the hopelessly gullible.
@@zazasnruntz7505 There's lots of things being violated everyday.
The second is under a fierce attack right now though, but it's also being fought in court rooms all across the country.
They're attacking free speech as well, and conditioning us to question just "how free" it should be.
There's are two VERY important amendments. Is there something wrong with speaking up to defend them?
And wtf does race have to do with anything?
No such thing as an “assault weapon.” Salutes to you Sheriff Booker for standing strong!
@@xploration1437 Would you please explain what you mean?
@@guerotechAssault weapons have select fire capability (i.e., they are machine guns). There is a very limited number of transferable machine guns that private citizens are eligible to buy, but Illinois has already banned its residents from buying one. However, law enforcement is allowed to buy machine guns just by filing some simple paperwork.
Assault Weapon is just... any Assault Rifle/Battle Rifle/Carbine/ Select Fire, magazine fed, intermidiate cartridge shootin'
@@xploration1437 no there isn't. 😂 assault is an action. It can be done with anything. Why your try to say is a modular service rifle. 🤦♂️
@@tmfilpansick Assault can also be a noun. Assault pack, assault rifle.
That’s like saying “hiking boots” don’t exist because hiking is a just verb.
They should arrest anyone who tries to enforce this unConstitutional law
Arrest, son that’s a silly way to spell “shoot to death”
"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776
I like this sheriff. He refutes the governor's solution to a non-existent problem, presents the real problem, and follows up with a proposed course of action to the real problem.
Well put.
Protest being locked and loaded open carry what are they going to do about it🤣
This is what the second amendment was designed for🙂👍🤣🇺🇸
And he will be deeply ignored as the Supreme Court refuses to take the case or lacks any authority to punish or remove from office those that commit treason.
The ONLY successful course of action is eradication of the oppressive entity causing the oppression, primarily by organized guerilla warfare and tactics. Period.
There needs to be consequences for law makers who knowingly pass unconstitutional laws……
There is; vote them out.
@@herculesbrofister265 unfortunately in places like California as just one example you cannot just vote them out because the state is so blue the Dems can pass most any law as they do violating the constitution without consequences. Even if you could vote them out their unconstitutional laws are still in place while it takes years of going through the court system to ever undo the damage. They pass laws knowing that they are unconstitutional but they don’t care because they know their voter base will protect them, it will take years if not decades to undo these unconstitutional laws, and in the mean time there is no repercussions for their actions. There must be a better way. I have a few ideas……
@@herculesbrofister265 It needs to be made a felony criminal offense.
@@herculesbrofister265 voting has never, and will never work
@williambrandondavis6897 it already is. Technically, what jb did was perjury and treason. Both are felonies.
Haven't watched the vid, but this needs no explanation. The fact that this ban is unconstitutional is all that needs to be said. 0:22 Also, props for giving the pizza delivery guy a job in the media.

Unconstitutional laws should not be enforced
Finally, a lawman that's not afraid to make a stand and do what's right!
GOD BLESS THESE SHERIFS praying for Illinois
sad thing is california cant even ban gun manufacturers who break their laws like selling to someone without a id see this is why we cant have good things like common sense gun laws people you cant just ban a piece and think your helping anymore guns need to be regulated as a whole thats the problem republcians value human life so little they dont care about science facts reality they wont even let the debate happen like cowards
That sheriff hates kids. If he loved kids he would be in forcing the law not breaking it.
At a private Christian school in Nashville last month, six people, including three children, were murdered by a shooter armed with assault-style rifles. It’s been less than a year since a gunman who legally purchased two assault rifles for his 18th birthday shot and killed 19 students and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas - and yet enacting common sense gun regulations has largely been left up to the states.
We will take those prayers. Thank you!
Nope
It's almost as if they're taking their oaths seriously.
I definitely stand behind these sheriffs
Need more people like Sheriff Booker.
As of yesterday there were 67 County Sheriff's (and counting) in Illinois out of 102 counties who have said they will not enforce this law due to it being unconstitutional.
Where can one find this list?
That’s amazing if true. Now I fear for Governor coming after the Sheriffs
@@tioswift3676 The governor and the other politicians passing this don't care if its enforced... they care if they passed it and can use it for propaganda in elections for their own power and prestige.
State Police have jurisdiction over local Sheriffs. Fatty is planning to enlist State Police to randomly check shooting ranges and events to look for offenders. You can try all you want but you will NOT win a fight against the Fourth Reich.
@@twinnevans971 Yes they have jurisdiction in the Counties, but they do not under law have the authority "over" Sheriffs'. They cannot order Sheriff's to do anything. They can enforce the law themselves in those counties, but they cannot order Sheriffs' to enforce the law in their counties.
Just imagine how quickly the tables would turn if prosecutors actually started bringing up charges against politicians. 18 USC § 242 would be a good start.
Thank you for standing up and being counted!!!
Where are the rest of Sheriffs on this!! Confiscation
is clearly against the Constitution!!!!!
What part of "shall not be infringed" do these politicians and bureaucracies not understand?
The sad truth is there are too many citizens that vote but don't care about what's written in our constitution.
The second amendment is *completely clear as day* . Yet they count on people not reading the words *Right of the people* written in it.
It's either the *"shall not"* or the *"be infringed"* part of that particular 2A terminology that escapes them.
show them
What part of "well regulated" do you not understand ?
@@jaimeperry7326 in the context of the second amendment, "well regulated" means "well armed"

I applaud these sheriffs. Standing their ground and upholding the oath they took. I still don't get how people cant grasp the "Shall not be infringed" clause of the second amendment.
Hold the line sheriff's you're doing the right thing for the people.
This does my heart good.
Thank you, sheriff.
Everyone should share the crap out of this video we need more people like this
Praying for these 3 sheriff's, that this gets turned around quickly, and they don't lose their livelihood.
Jabba the Pritzker needs to remember that these sheriffs were elected by the voters in their counties and not the voters of Chicago and cook county. The are not going anywhere until their voters say so.
The sheriffs will be fine. It is an elected position. They are one of our greatest defenders against these tyrannical lawmakers. The sheriffs answer to the folks who elected them... not to the governor
people lost their livelihoods by the idiotic covid lockdowns
Dominion Voting has entered the chat.
They'll be replaced by Wokies in the next cycle due to "irregularities."
The Governor can't fire them so what can he do. That's the problem with other LE like the state police where they can be summarily fired.

right-wing mental cases would legalize nuclear weapons for everyone if they could
Never a step to actually hold criminals accountable only to slowly strip law abiding citizens of their rights.
and ability to be on equal footing with criminals and terrorists who have never obeyed gun bans including Prickster's new unconstitutional ban.
Every citizen is a "law abiding citizen" until they aren't. Guns make killing easy. You have failed to understand the human condition if all you know is "law". How many families will get torn apart by murder suicides this year? Pay attention, most of those incidents involve first time offenders- those who are not listed as "criminals".
Right. This is because if the government can disarm you, then you are no longer a Citizen, but become a powerless Subject. Subjects don't have rights or freedoms, or the ability to vote. They must submit, and obey to their rulers. This is what the politicians want. It's all about the elite obtaining more and more power over the People.
Hate to break it to you pal, but criminals get their weapons from "law abiding citizens", or at least law abiding as far as their record goes. They aren't making them in home workshops, they're getting them with straw purchases or stealing poorly secured ones. Even south of the border, studies have shown most of them come from the US.
Ok you are saying it unconstitutional to take away the right to own Assault rifles and small gun magazine, That's against your right they can't make a law like that. But your saying its ok to make a law that bans criminals from owning guns. What about there 2nd amendment right to bear arms, SOunds like a double standard to me
I hope the people of Illinois have the courage to reject this tyranny on their families. You have the right to defend yourself and your family to the fullest possible extent- THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT YOUR MASTER- YOU ARE THEIRS.
Even the Sheriff knows the AR-15 isn't an assault weapon. No one asked the Sheriff
about that.
