Faced with a slew of restrictive anti-gun laws counties across the nation have begun declaring themselves second amendment Sanctuaries. Places where unconstitutional state-level anti-gun laws will not be enforced by either county police or local law enforcement. In keeping with our coverage a few of these “transitions” the latest news comes from New Mexico.
Lincoln County just passed a resolution declaring itself a second-amendment sanctuary country.
Lincoln County commissioners voted 4-1 Tuesday to approve a resolution to become a 2nd Amendment sanctuary county in reaction to proposed state gun legislation. …Commissioner Tom Stewart offered amended language to include the “lack of common sense” in the (state’s) legislative process and adding that the county will pursue litigation, if necessary.
Lincoln is a bit late to that party. Five other counties in New Mexico declared themselves as Second Amendment Sanctuaries the previous week.
Several counties last week declared themselves Second Amendment “sanctuaries,” including Quay, Union, Socorro, Eddy and Curry.
Since then, Cibola approved the resolution and Taos County was set to consider a resolution, along with Lincoln County, Shepperd said.
That would bring the total to eight. Why the rush? The New Mexico legislature is considering expanded background checks and red flag laws. They even have a bill to bypass local prosecutors in officer-involved shootings. It would require the governor to assign a special prosecutor.
New Mexico has 33 counties. #ResistTyranny
