On May 11, Charlotte County commissioners declared Charlotte County a “Second Amendment sanctuary” that purports to hinder or prevent the enforcement of certain gun safety laws. Similar resolutions have passed in other counties in Florida and around the country.
Proponents of these resolutions pronounce any gun-control legislation as unconstitutional, whether it requires background checks or a waiting period, bans bump-stock devices that allow for rapid fire, or outlaws assault-style rifles. |

The usual pap - "gun safety" and "commonsense gun safety laws."
She seems astonished that anybody would question the government's authority to, in our "best interest," spindle/fold/mutilate black-letter proscriptions on its power.
People like her can't understand that; it isn't in their wheelhouse. It's best to pat them on the head like a 3yr-old and just walk on by. Curtailing certain constitutional liberties makes "sense," and inventing liberty that doesn't exist makes "sense" to them as well.
Waddaya gonna do? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
