La Salle County voters — your opinion on your Second Amendment rights is requested.
Do you oppose bills passed by Illinois lawmakers restricting your Second Amendment rights? That’s the gist of a referendum that’ll appear on the Nov. 6 ballot.
At today's county board meeting, a resolution to place an advisory (nonbinding) referendum on the November ballot came before the board and passed. Two people talked during public comment on the matter before the vote. |

Enumerated fundamental rights are not subject to referendum.
Their unalienable nature sets them above popular opinion. |

Um, PHORTO, this is another part of the 'sanctuary county' fad in Illinois:
If a majority of voters vote yes to the referendum, that they oppose Illinois lawmakers creating or passing legislation that infringe on Second Amendment rights, the county clerk is directed to prepare and deliver copies of the resolution to all members of the Illinois General Assembly and the Office of the Governor. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
