Second Amendment 'sanctuary county' movement expands as organizers take aim at new gun laws
Chicago Tribune ^ | 21 apr 2019

It was no accident Effingham County’s resolution to protect the rights of gun owners stole an important word from the very people the resolution was intended to provoke, supporters of the country’s sanctuary cities movement.

Effingham County State’s Attorney Bryan Kibler last month told a raucous crowd the origin story behind the “Second Amendment sanctuary county” movement, which began in Effingham and now includes 64 of the state’s 102 counties, counties in three other states, and nine more states in which counties are eyeing similar nonbinding measures. And as state legislators, emboldened by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, look at more gun-control measures, counties are looking at more ways to resist them.

Effingham County Board member David Campbell came to Kibler with a resolution passed by Iroquois County regarding gun rights, saying he wanted to do something similar, but questioned if they could make the language “a little more provocative,” he said in remarks posted on YouTube. He hit on the idea of alluding to some cities’ policies on cooperating with federal authorities on immigration enforcement.

This is obviously a deliberate attack on the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of foreigners to choose to enter our nation whenever, wherever and however they choose and the responsibility of right thinking cities and states to protect those rights from incursions by the federal government which has no business determining immigration.

To compare those rights to the obviously mistaken belief that possession of firearms is somehow covered by the outdated 2nd Amendment (which was written by slave owners, by the way) just shows how obtuse rural people can be.

Of course they’re sarcasm. I thought I was so over the top that the sarcasm would be unmistakeable, obviously I may have failed.

Now you’ve done it. Someone from DU has probably posted this on Twitter and FB and millions now believe this is a real Constitutional Amendment.

The Libs started this ‘sanctuary BS. I said two years ago to do 2nd Amendment sanctuary cities in a total manner, full auto, SBR’s suppressors, nullification of the GCA of 1968, etc. You either don’t get to pick the laws you follow, or you do, it has to be one way or the other. Of course when a man with a penis can say he’s a girl and compete in girls track meets, etc anything is possible!
