I, myself and I’m sure most all Republicans oppose this and the rest of Pritzker’s policies. I am a gun owner (some might say a gun hoarder), hunter and an accomplished trap shooter. I am an NRA member and more importantly a member of the Illinois State Rifle Association, the ISRA ( https://isra.org/join-us/ ) will be the lead on fighting this in court and I encourage everyone to join and donate to the cause. What everyone needs to realize is that the ACRCC is not a governmental body and as Party, Vice Chairman John Mast said has no authority on whether or not laws are complied with. Our responsibility is to recruit and help elect Republicans that will oppose these types of policies. I believe we have been very successful in that regard as evidenced by the actions of the Adams County Board, our new Adams County Sheriff and our state legislators voting against it. This issue will have to play out in the courts. I’m sure the governor won’t care one iota what we think, but the ACRCC will be glad to help further oppose this policy in any way we can.
