Second Amendment Sanctuaries Facing 1st Court Test in Oregon
One America News ^ | May 16, 2021

The first court test of whether local governments can ban police from enforcing certain gun laws is playing out in a rural Oregon county, one of a wave of U.S. counties declaring itself a Second Amendment sanctuary.

The measure that voters in the logging area of Columbia County narrowly approved last year forbids local officials from enforcing most federal and state gun laws and could impose thousands of dollars in fines on those who try.

Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions have been adopted by some 1,200 local governments in states around the U.S., including Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Illinois and Florida, according to Shawn Fields, an assistant professor of law at Campbell University who tracks them. Many are symbolic, but some, like in Columbia County, carry legal force.

Counties are creatures of the State. They must obey state law. They are not sovereign entities, such as states are.

It depends on the specifics of the case.

Correct. Where this case can be a problem is that they refuse to enforce state laws. The way immigration sanctuary cities get by is that they are refusing to help enforce federal laws. SCOTUS has already ruled that state and local law enforcement cannot be forced to assist in enforcing federal law. So in this case, the law will probably be unconstitutional in regard to enforcing state law and constitutional in regard to federal law.

I’m guessing the State has no problem collecting marijuana taxes from Columbia County.
