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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. Alexis de Tocqueville |
