A crowd of two dozen or so supporters of Second Amendment rights gathered outside the Moore County Historic Courthouse on Tuesday evening. Waving flags and banners they garnered some appreciative horn toots from passing motorists.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the building, the Board of County Commissioners conducted a regular business meeting that did not include any gun-related agenda items; however, several people spoke during public comment on a variety of politically-charged issues from gun control measures to mask mandates to concerns that First Amendment rights are at-risk of being trampled.

“The right to assembly is one of our most important rights. But when those assembled are not peaceful, people will get hurt,” Lewis said. “I hope people will realize that a (Second Amendment) sanctuary county is not where I or other people want to live.”
Merely exercising a First Amendment right to disagree while exercising the Second Amendment right to bear arms cannot be legitimately charactreized as being "not peaceful." Mr. Lewis needs to review his understanding of natural rights. By the Supreme Law of the land, the U.S. is a 2A sanctuary by default. Perhaps he should consider relocating to another country. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
