Staff Report – Buncombe County – 2/10/21
A number of counties within the United States have passed various Second Amendment sanctuary laws or declarations in the event there are federal laws ever passed that encroach the right to bear arms. Newton County Missouri has taken that a step further.
Newton County Commissioners just passed a law that endows the sheriff with the authority to arrest federal agents if they attempt to enforce any laws related to firearms that contradict the Second Amendment. The county also inacted a “Second Amendment Preservation Act of Newton County Missouri”.
This Act stops –
• Any form of taxes on firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition that fall outside of the realm of being “common to all other goods and services”.
• National registries of firearms, accessories, or ammunition.
• National registries of firearm owners, confiscation of firearms, accessories, or ammunition that affect “law-abiding citizens”.
• And generally, any act past, present, or future passed by Congress and signed into federal law that infringes on the Second Amendment.
On February 26th 2019, Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller declared that his Sheriff Deputies would not hold ICE detainees. Sheriff Miller barred his own deputies from assisting ICE in their endeavors to enforce federal immigration laws.
Newton County saw what Sheriff Miller and other Democrat Sheriff’s were doing throughout the United States. So they used the same direction Sheriff Miller did with a reverse mirror image. Newton County declared that any law enforcement agencies or officials operating within the confines and/or under the authority of Newton County cannot attempt to enforce any federal laws that are in contrast with the Second Amendment Preservation Act.
Newtons Commissioners basically said if liberal Sheriff’s can do it, they can to.
Liberal Sheriffs protect illegal immigrants with severe criminal histories. Newton County Commissioners protect the 2nd Amendment.
Missing the point (“legal consequences”).
“Pile on the fines and watch them flee to another jurisdiction - exactly what municipalities do all the time.”
It worked in our town.

Works for me.
“he could deputize all 28,000 concealed carry holders to keep out gun grabbing Feds.”
That’s interesting. I never considered it from that pespective.
I thought it referred to British Columbia at first.
In Broad Daylight.
Yeah, something...
I still have no idea where this is.
“Oklahomans and Cherokee”
Just say Americans, both groups mentioned are that in spades!
Fines for what?
Driving without a license. $500 fine and the vehicle is impounded.
Driving without insurance. $500 fine and the vehicle is impounded.
My town is also hell on landlords, particularly Section 8 landlords who live out of state. Annual property inspections, hefty fines for not passing them. And a Nuisance Property ordinance where seizure is an option.
They’ve found other places to live.

This is the “well regulated militia” in its true form, forget the blather afoot from francs-tireurs claiming it is a military function.
The MASSIVE power of local government to dwarf and successfully oppose tyrannical national government.
This is what broke the power of the Redcoats and sent them scurrying for safety - provisional magistrates summoning and leading vast numbers of armed citizenry.
If you want to lawfully resist tyranny this is the way to go.
That's pretty much all of them: NFA 1934, GCA 1968.
There is no Article I, Section 8 delegated power that authorizes so-called gun control.
There it is!
Missouri.
BC Sheriff?
Thanks!
Buncombe County
Right—but is was the Newton County Sheriff in the article.
I believe both county sheriffs were mentioned.
