In the six years since, many counties in states across the U.S. have followed that lead. Last week, it was Oklahoma’s turn. First, Logan County Sheriff Damon Devereaux, in a signed resolution, vowed no public funds will be used to enact policies that restrict the Second Amendment rights of Logan County residents. The next day, Stephens County (Duncan) Sheriff Wayne McKinney did the same. Since that time, a dozen additional county sheriffs across the Sooner State have followed their lead and declared their county a Second Amendment sanctuary.
Critics claim the declarations are purely for optics and are meaningless, but that is not true because the Second Amendment is a local issue. |

The resolution is flawed. It SHOULD read:
"Recognizing the U.S. Constitution GUARANTEES the individual right to keep and bear arms, we the duly elected delegates of the Stephens County support the designating of Stephens County as a Second Amendment sanctuary county." |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
