Fox News
Illinois Gov. Pritzker's office said sheriffs vowing to defy a new state gun law are taking part in "political grandstanding" against a law that will protect kids and worshippers.
The Illinois Senate passed its version of the "Protect Illinois Communities Act" last Monday, which bans so-called assault weapons and high-capacity magazines from being manufactured or sold in the state. Pritzker signed the bill into law last Tuesday, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of semiautomatic rifles and pistols, .50-caliber guns, as well as attachments that can increase a gun’s fire rate.
At least 74 sheriff offices have since publicly posted statements in opposition of the law, with many calling it unconstitutional.
