Kudos to the Daily Herald Editorial Board for their Jan. 19 opinion that selective adherence to laws pose a threat to our system. I am tired of hearing people say that they will not comply with a law or a regulation because they don't agree with it. They don't get to choose. This includes states and municipalities that claim sanctuary status and county sheriffs that refuse to enforce the new Illinois law requiring assault weapon owners to register those guns. County sheriffs claim that the law is unconstitutional but it not within their purview to make that judgment.
