San Diego, CA --(Ammoland.com)- In a refreshing move that underscores the sharp cultural divide on the meaning and parameters of the right to self-defense and to keep and bear arms, both the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors the Lemoore City Council have adopted resolutions in support of the Second Amendment and the right of the people to keep and bear and arms.
In 2008, the United States Supreme Court confirmed that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to keep and carry a firearm for self-defense. District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 636 (2008). Two years later, in McDonald v. City of Chicago, the Supreme Court held that the right to keep and bear arms was incorporated under the Fourteenth Amendment, thereby prohibiting state and local governments from infringing upon one’s Second Amendment rights. 130 S. Ct. 3020 (2010).
Despite the Supreme Court’s holdings, in the wake of recent and tragic instances of gun violence many proposals for extremely stringent gun-control laws have been advanced by politicians at the local, state, and federal levels.
While the Siskiyou Board of Supervisors encourages discussions and ideas to protect its citizens from violence, officially and publicly its resolution makes clear that it will not abide by any provision of law that infringes upon the Second Amendment. The City of Lemoore made an equally forceful resolution confirming its commitment to the right to keep and bear arms.

Good news... we need much more of it.
You good folks in Siskiyou County need to realize that the time for resolutions has long passed. You need to elect a Constitutional sheriff in your county and muster a large deputy auxiliary battalion for “emergencies.”
What are the libs runnin scared now due to the vote?
Del Norte County CA just passed a resolution this week. I happened to be at the Board meeting and witnessed the inspiring Patriots urging its passage. The vote passed unanimously with one abstain.
“What are the libs runnin scared now due to the vote?”
I don’t know, Conserve1.
All I know is that if you want to see libs runnin’ scared, learn about your state’s open meetings law. Applied correctly, the good people of the USA can fine liberals in local government for violating the open meetings act, throw them in state prison and make the liberals pay for hiring an attorney to investigate them.
Check it out. The open meetings law exists in every state of the union.
A lotta controversy has surrounded Christie in last month!
He has a Talk to the Gov segment the last night where he took phone calls etc!
I was impressed with the man! You have to realize what he is up against here in NJ! He has tried to lower property taxes only to be faced with Cities assessing there own property taxes! I only say this because of callers calling in and talking to him!
I saw him take calls from Sandy victims and @ the moment was on line with his people and were told they would be called today! A Gov can only do so much! And I believe the man is a man of his word!
That’s more than most. If not we will see!
On the program he said he opted for the medicaid, they now
pay I think 57% now it will be 100% saving the State 27 million! Also he said if it does not work out he can drop them like a hot rock! Any way I think Christie has had some bad press! I live here and am new to the state but I will say the Cat tells it like it is!
You go ahead and support the moslem-loving gun-grabbing statist. I will NEVER vote for a leftist.
