Sponsored by gun rights activists, the measure would prohibit county resources from being used to enforce any local, state or federal law or regulation that restricts the right to keep and bear firearms, accessories or ammunition.
That means Sheriff Matt Phillips could not enforce background checks, tracking requirements, confiscation orders, limits on semi-automatic firearms or accessories and restrictions on open or concealed carry. The fines for violating the measure would be up to $2,000. |

Just FYI -- Restrictions on semiautomatic firearms and magazines, per D.C. v. Heller, are already unconstitutional. Heller ruled that arms "in common use" by the American people are fully within the ambit of 2A protection.
Semiautomatic firearms are and have been in common use for over a century.
Just sayin'. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
