The Nelson County Sheriff announced Friday that he will support a resolution to make the county a Second Amendment sanctuary. "I am pro Second Amendment. You won't find many in the law enforcement profession that are not," Sheriff Ramon Pineiroa said in a statement. "To me, the resolution is a restatement of the Second Amendment. It references previous Supreme Court rulings regarding our right to bear arms and the Due Process Clause of the 14th amendment. It expresses concern and opposition to any laws that may infringe or unconstitutionally restrict citizens' rights to keep and bear arms." |

Note the reference to US. v. Miller.
Impressive.
And all-too-rare. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
