A candidate for the Illinois state legislature has joined a growing movement of Second Amendment advocates in refusing to comply with the state’s latest gun control laws, which make it a criminal act to possess certain types of firearms without first entering them into a state registry.

Darren Bailey, a former candidate for governor who is running in the Republican primary election for Illinois’ 12th Congressional District, has openly challenged Illinois Gov. J. B. Pritzker to come to his home and attempt to enforce the gun control measure he signed into law.
