Counties declaring themselves second amendment sanctuaries is the hottest thing these days. So, while I’d love to report on that happening in New Hampshire, we’ll have to live vicariously through the excellent work of others. Like, Cherokee County in North Carolina.
They just passed a resolution.
“Therefore, the Cherokee County Government will not authorize or appropriate government funds, resources, employees, agencies, contractors, buildings, detention centers or offices for the purpose of enforcing or assisting in the enforcement of any element of such acts, laws, orders, mandates, rules or regulations, that infringe on the right by the people to keep and bear arms as described and defined in detail above.”
From the Cherokee Scout.
Sheriff Derrick Palmer expressed his support for the resolution. Palmer cited many statistics, including that someone uses a gun in self-defense in the United States every 13 seconds. He added that many activists supporting gun control have acted out of “fear, emotions and knee-jerk reactions” since April 20, 1999, when Columbine High School was attacked by two students.
That and other incidents, including Parkland, where their investigation resulted in suggesting arming staff and teachers to prevent a future attack.
Fox News reports that,
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 on March 6 for a symbolic resolution. It says, in part, that the county will defy efforts by state or federal government to enforce strict gun-control laws.
It’s mostly symbolic but every little bit helps.
