On May 11, Charlotte County commissioners declared Charlotte County a “Second Amendment sanctuary” that purports to hinder or prevent the enforcement of certain gun safety laws. Similar resolutions have passed in other counties in Florida and around the country.
Proponents of these resolutions pronounce any gun-control legislation as unconstitutional, whether it requires background checks or a waiting period, bans bump-stock devices that allow for rapid fire, or outlaws assault-style rifles. |

The usual pap - "gun safety" and "commonsense gun safety laws."
She seems astonished that anybody would question the government's authority to, in our "best interest," spindle/fold/mutilate black-letter proscriptions on its power.
People like her can't understand that; it isn't in their wheelhouse. It's best to pat them on the head like a 3yr-old and just walk on by. Curtailing certain constitutional liberties makes "sense," and inventing liberty that doesn't exist makes "sense" to them as well.
Waddaya gonna do? |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
