In a truly free country, such as ours has been, the
government gains its power from the consent of the governed. The governed is We the People. When the People have made it clear that there
are laws that get no respect from the People and further they are
unconstitutional then it is time for the law to go. In the case of Illinois we have a number of
those laws, especially the gun laws.
Now there are several ways to make these laws go away, or at
least have their effect neutralized. Let’s
take a look at some of the ways. They
can be repealed by the legislature. That
isn’t going to happen anytime soon because the Chicago Machine rules with no
consideration for the Constitution. Another
way is for State’s Attorneys and law enforcement officials to refuse to enforce
unconstitutional law. A third way is for
sitting juries to refuse to convict when in their opinion they feel the law is
not good.
