The outspoken opposition of many Illinois sheriff's to enforcement of new laws against assault weapons & ammo is probably less about ideology than it is simple FEAR FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY! These officers fear assassination by extreme rightwing gun owners and anti-government militias as well as criminals such as Mexican cartels, gangs and the Mafia!
Therefore the tasks of removal of these arms should be by Federal agencies for the foreseeable future until the quantity in circulation is greatly reduced.
But until then those rebellious sheriff's are no more honorable than those of the civil rights era who balked at enforcement of desegregation laws and integration of public schools.
PS: Once illegal guns are confiscated they should be "pacified" at metal stamping plants under 600 ton presses.
This would begin to reduce the number of unnecessary weapons in constant circulation legal and illegal!!
