PLYMOUTH — The Marshall County Commissioners heard from resident Don Nunemaker on Monday
regarding the county adopting a resolution to make it a “Second Amendment Sanctuary” county.
A “Second Amendment sanctuary” is a state, county, or city that passes resolutions or laws to oppose or limit the enforcement of state or federal gun control measures they consider unconstitutional. These “sanctuaries” often limit funding for gun law enforcement or state that local officials will not comply with certain state and federal gun laws.
Historically, the movement grew as a reaction to increased gun control efforts at the state level, with some resolutions being primarily symbolic expressions of opposition. In contrast, others aim to restrict enforcement actions.
Nunemaker presented the proposal to the Commissioners several years ago. This time, Commissioner Jesse Bohannon told Nunemaker he would like to move the proposal forward.
