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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
