Everytown For Gun Safety Support Fund And Moms Demand Action Urge Sheriffs’ Association, Association Of Counties, Others To Condemn ‘Second Amendment Sanctuary’ Resolutions

‘Second Amendment Sanctuary’ Resolutions Undermine the Rule of Law, Foster Distrust in Law Enforcement and May Deter People from Reporting Individuals Who May Hurt Themselves or Others

Everytown Support Fund: ‘Counties That Pass These Resolutions are Ignoring the Will of the People and Putting Lives at Risk’

Today, Everytown Law, the litigation arm of Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a part of Everytown for Gun Safety, sent a letter to the National Sheriffs’ Association, the National Association of Counties, the Major County Sheriffs of America, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the Major Cities Chiefs Association and the National League of Cities urging them to condemn the recent wave of “Second Amendment Sanctuary” resolutions passed by some local governments.

[...]

“These so-called ‘Sanctuary Counties’ fly in the face of our Democratic norms and threaten to defy the will of the vast majority of Americans who support stronger gun laws,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. “The laws these localities are threatening to refuse to enforce, like red flag laws, have already been ruled constitutional — and have been proven to save lives. Instead of cutting them off at the knees, we should let law enforcement officers do their jobs and use every tool possible to keep families safe.”



I'm trying to think of a response that's more polite than a simple "**** Off!", but nothing comes to mind.

It'd be more appropriate if the BBS software didn't bowdlerize it...

Simply draw the parallel to sanctuary cities for illegal aliens...

That's really the last thing we want.

Let's not attempt to create some sort of illicit equity or false analogy between opening up an area to allow illegal activities which should not be occurring at all,
vs
a legal, Constitutionally protected activity, by law acknowledged to rightfully exist everywhere, and restricting it to a defined, and confined area.

Depending on wording definition they are correct - "fly in the face of our Democratic norms"
If you're having second thoughts you're two ahead of most Democrats
