Sanctuary cities aren’t just for immigrants anymore.
In a nationwide movement, a growing number of states, counties, cities, and towns are declaring themselves “Second Amendment Sanctuaries” and are refusing to enforce gun-control laws that infringe on the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
While adopting ordinances and resolutions to defy gun laws isn’t a new tactic, momentum is rapidly building – likely in response to increasing calls for more gun control at state and federal levels.
Sanctuary counties and towns are passing resolutions that state no funding will be used to enforce unconstitutional laws and that the sheriff will uphold his oath to the Constitution instead of enforcing laws that violate the Second Amendment.
Kaufman County passed the resolution on November 12, 2019 by a unanimous vote making us #8, #9 or #10 (2 other counties passed resolutions on the same day).
County sheriffs are, legally speaking, the last line of defense in the battle for gun rights.
Here’s a rundown of the counties in Texas that have adopted Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutions.
As of 2/12/2020. We are up to 63-2A Counties and 3 – Constitutional Counties for a Total of 66.
