Gun owners in at least one New York county are eyeing a Second Amendment Sanctuary ordinance, and local lawmakers could approve the measure at a board meeting Tuesday evening.
Morse says the county would still enforce federal gun laws. He says the group is sick of state laws restricting gun rights. “If we follow all these laws, which there seems to be no end in sight, the only groups of people that will have firearms is the government and the criminals and it is not going after the problem by disarming the people who have never broken a law. And I’m one of those,” he said. “It just seems like their common sense gun legislation has no common sense to it. They never ever include the people who are stakeholders. They always dictate from a far and we’re sick of it.” While there’s no word on how the county’s board of legislators is leaning, the group does have the backing of at least one local official.
