(Reuters) - A rapidly growing number of counties in at least four states are declaring themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries, refusing to enforce gun-control laws that they consider to be infringements on the U.S. constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

Organizers of the pro-gun sanctuaries admit they took the idea from liberals who have created immigration sanctuaries across the United States where local officials defy the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce tougher immigration laws.


Note: the article is wrong here. The immigration laws under Trump are not tougher, it's only that he is trying to enforce existing immigration laws.

But still, lol, how can liberals complain about sheriffs when they themselves were the inspiration?

Democrat creed: "Rules for thee, not for me."

If you can view all of their decisions under that lens, it all makes sense.

Dems are all for a Unitary Executive and EOs, deciding what laws will be enforced or ignored, when they control the White House.

Slippery slopes getting slipperier.

The difference between the two is that the Sheriffs are following the Constitution and the illegal alien sanctuary group is not.

The answer is to: follow the CONSTITUTION and abort all un-CONSTITUTIONAL non-laws to the waste bin. Follow all CONSTITUTIONAL laws remaining. That doesn't mean that SCOTUS gets to legislate from the bench with their bullshit ideology of "precedent" either....

We need a few of those Sheriffs in my state to eliminate the communist governor elected last year.

“If a state or city can become a sanctuary for illegal immigration, then we can become a sanctuary for Second Amendment rights,” said Russell Shafer, sheriff of Quay County in eastern New Mexico.

Turnabout is fair play!
