North Carolina county declares itself a 'gun sanctuary'

The Board of Commissioners in Cherokee County in North Carolina has passed a resolution — largely symbolic — declaring the county a "gun sanctuary."

The gist of the resolution: "..... the criminal misuse of firearms is due to the fact that criminals do not obey laws and this is not a reason to abrogate or abridge the unalienable, constitutionally-guaranteed rights of law abiding citizens. The last protectors of the US Constitution are We the People of the United States and our ability to fulfill that role successfully rests on our Second Amendment rights."

Awesome!

THIS is the county you move your business to and put down roots with your family.

There can be more than one type of sanctuary. The Left set the precedent so now let the games begin.

I understand a number of TX, WA and NM sheriffs have announced they are either “gun sanctuary counties”, or that they simply aren’t going to enforce unconstitutional gun laws.

So, perhaps the idea is catching fire.

It’s long overdue that leftist tactics are thrown right back in their faces.

Some NV LEOs are saying they won’t enforce the new rules when they go into effect. Time and money.

Exactly. Whatever tactics they use we should adapt to our own purposes and objectives. Fight fire with fire.

The first sanctuary city/state should have been pounced on with all due prejudice. But because the Rats need the illegal vote it spread like wildfire. This sanctuary move has the potential fro absolute chaos. We may applaud this gun sanctuary but this is dangerous stuff.

If they are serious they will allow short barrels, suppressors, and easy access to full auto. All of those restrictions are also unconstitutional.

Cherokee County is Eric Rudolph country. They didn’t like the FBI coming in and setting up shop for a couple of years.

Sanctuary this and sanctuary that. Soon we will not have a nation. What we will have is a hot civil war, city vs rural.

Wish it would happen in Cherokee County SC. But our sheriff won’t even meet to discuss our meth head neighbors.
