Colorado – -(AmmoLand.com)- It’s a battle that’s playing out across the nation: states that are pushing gun control legislation directly against the will of the citizens are witnessing entire counties push back en masse, with sheriff’s standing up for the rights of the citizens and county commissioners voting to declare their county “Second Amendment Sanctuaries“.
These sanctuary counties are passing resolutions stating that no funding will be used to enforce unconstitutional laws and that the sheriff will uphold his oath to the constitution instead of enforcing laws that violate the Second Amendment. Click here to read full article…

Too bad the little lamb sheriffs of southern NJ don’t get with this program.

Mike H is just another citizen enjoying the Freedoms this county offers! Not a care in the world about trying to ensure we stay Free, or what it took to create these freedoms in the first place! It’s not just about guns Mike, but without them, you can Not hope to keep our Rights as Free Citizens. ” We the people are the rightful Masters of both Congress and the Courts, Not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who would pervert the Constitution!” Abe Lincoln
So, if a law is on the books that you don’t like, it’s ok to ignore it, but you’re law-abiding gun owners. It must be confusing to be a gunnut.

A number of counties in New Mexico are accepting to be sanctuary entities as well. This past Friday, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed into law the first of many gun control laws. She is accusing those counties of “fear-mongering,” and claimed that the National Rifle Association is behind these actions. I would not be surprised if she uses creative ways to force those counties to comply with the newly enacted law.
The Patriots of Texas stand with you Colorado. Our Constitution is in need of Defenders. Good men will answer the call!
I read an article on Washington post the other night, the writer was sounding the alarm for a possible upcoming civil unrest in this country. Now, in this piece the author stated that President Trump was the sole catalyst for this dark division in the nation, and that his presidency and actions are responsible for the rhetoric concerning an upcoming civil war. PURE hogwash. The relentless march by liberal Democrats, a few turncoat Republicans, as well as Bernie Sanders and people like George Soros and Bloomberg, this march towards taking away our Constitutionally-backed God-given rights is what has caused the… Read more »
This may be the only way to stop the ‘democratic tyranny’ the urban dwellers with large voting blocks have foisted on the suburban and rural areas. I hope it goes ‘viral’, maybe then the politicians might see that gun control is not a winning issue and stop with the passage of vote seeking gun laws.
I am 69 years old, a retired Airline Captain. Served as a Grunt with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam 1967-1970. I know how to use my weapons and am well stocked. Dying in Vietnam would have been a waste of my life. Dying here on my own property defending the Constitution will be a privilege and my duty as I have sworn to. I don’t go looking for trouble but I am ready if it finds me. I am attending a workshop on Monday morning with our county commissioners and Sheriff to hopefully make this another 2nd Amendment Sanctuary… Read more »
