An Illinois county recently declared sanctuary status — for gun owners. This is brilliant!

The Effingham County (Illinois) Board passed a resolution this week protecting their county from any laws from the state’s capital that might abridge the Second Amendment.

Leftists and snarky, coffee cup liberal reporters who have probably never shot a gun are melting over the idea. They’re also insulting Americans who support it. Apparently those in favor of Second Amendment sanctuaries are off the rails.

WATCH:

One writer for the Chicago Tribune even said gun loving Americans should pack their bags and head to Effingham. Maybe we will! The Tribune writer even said anti-gun libs like him will “chip in and buy a nice fence to surround the whole county.”

Hey, if they build the fence, maybe the county will build sniper towers. How about we do the same with sanctuary cities for criminal illegals? We’ll just fence them in with all the thugs. I’m sure that would go well for all these unarmed wimps who think they can just hug it out with criminals.
