Congressman Sean Casten, along with other state lawmakers, called the comments irresponsible and reckless.Casten says he is focused on Mendrick because his county is in his district.
"We know there is a network of people who are already illegally trafficking guns in DuPage," said Casten. "If the sheriff of DuPage is basically saying I have more in common and more to support and more alignment with the people who are breaking the law than the people who don’t want to get shot, that comes out in a court of law, then yes, I think there has to be accountability. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
Sheriff Tom Dart of Cook County says he will uphold the law, and feels the sheriffs are responding to the law prematurely. "I think the more prudent thing would be to say, A: we enforce the laws that exist. We do have manpower issues, we all do, so where is that gonna fit in your pecking order. That would be unique to that sheriff.
In DuPage County, it is expected that the sheriff's decision could be discussed at the board meeting Tuesday at 10 a.m.that I have read and agree
As a DuPage resident I support Sheriff Mendrick as this law needs a second look by the courts. I appreciate that those who see red flags w it are asking for this. I don’t support the DuPageCounty board & possible censure. Many residents don’t.
He can oppose it ALL he wants, he just needs to UPHOLD it as a sworn in official of the law.
Trump had a hell of a lot more classified documents the same time he had his so called golf tournament in NJ and not that long afterward Jared Kushner got two billion from the Saudi’s why isn’t the Republican’s doing an investigation into that?
Well, if this law ever gets through the courts, lets send Sean Casten door to door demanding that people register their guns. Make me a believer.
Yep, they'll pick a few, target them to send a message but it's so wrong. The sheriff departments are standing on the foundations of our laws, not some made up slick quick overnight legislation shell game.
What lawful gun owner needs an assault weapon?
James Mendrick, a man of TRUE integrity that serves the people and the Constitution.
Everyone should vote for this real American.
THIS is what HEROES look like!
Tom Dart actually has a smart quote about this in the article.
