All over the nation, a number of counties have embraced the status of Second Amendment sanctuary counties. They’ve all declared they will not enforce unconstitutional gun law regardless of what bills get passed at the state or federal level. There are a lot of them and I fully expect to see a lot more spring up.
However, Spartanburg County in South Carolina has opted not to join their ranks.
Spartanburg County Council opted to show its support of the Second Amendment with a letter to lawmakers rather than declaring the county a sanctuary jurisdiction as two gun rights activists recently asked.
A letter signed by all seven council members was sent Feb. 28 to each state lawmaker in the Spartanburg County Legislative Delegation, and to U.S. Sens. Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott and U.S. Rep. William Timmons. “We … respectfully request your careful consideration of any legislation that may potentially impact the rights afforded under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article 1, Section 20 of the South Carolina Constitution in order to ensure preservation of those rights,” the letter states.
Last month, Cibby Crell and Ryan Barnett asked council to pass a resolution declaring Spartanburg County a “Second Amendment Sanctuary Jurisdiction.”
