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 |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
