Second Amendment Sanctuaries – Fighting Back Against Tyranny!
A Second Amendment Sanctuary is any locality that says it will not enforce any unconstitutional (federal or state) gun laws! Many sheriffs are going to take the County’s lead on this and county police could be told not to enforce such laws either. (Law enforcement officers do not have to, and shouldn’t, enforce any unconstitutional laws.)
NOTE: Just because a locality is a sanctuary doesn’t mean you can’t be arrested. We must stop the gun-control bills from ever becoming law. This fight will take at least two years, so stay engaged! Attend Lobby Day to help convince the General Assembly to defeat all gun-control bills.
