Beaufort County, NC Passes Gun Law Nullification Resolution

By Susan Duclos

The Tenth Amendment Center reports that Beaufort County, NC becomes the first in the nation to pass a Gun Law Nullification Resolution.

Today, Beaufort County, North Carolina became the first in the country to do so. The board of commissioners passed a nullification resolution in support of the 2nd Amendment. The vote was unanimous. The resolution reads, in part:
The Beaufort County Board of Commissioners calls upon the Governor and General Assembly of the State of North Carolina to immediately pass an act to nullify the implementation within the State of North Carolina of any Federal law, executive order or regulations restricting the right to keep and bear arms
It continues, and makes clear that the County will play no supporting role to the federal government in attacks on the 2nd Amendment:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the County Manager be directed to see that no county paid staff participate in nor allow any county resources be used in the implementation of any Federal law, executive order or executive directive that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms
Enthusiasm from the community was high. Representatives from the North Carolina Tenth Amendment Center reported that the “room was packed” to the point that the crowd was “overflowing out into the hall.” Two local tv stations were on hand to report as well.
All politics is local? Correction. All successful politics are local.

Other states like Texas, Wyoming and Missouri has introduced legislation to protect the Second Amendment rights of their citizens against any new federal gun laws, going as far as to threaten arrest, jail and fines against anyone attempting to enforce any new gun regulations coming out of the Washington or by presidential decree.

Sheriffs from around the country are also speaking out and refusing to enforce any new gun laws.

Second Amendment supporting states are pushing back against Obama and liberals gun grab and they are pushing hard.
