On Feb. 3, the Newton County, Missouri, Commission passed a bill that not only prevents any federal law enforcement officer from harassing gun owners, it calls for their arrest if they try to enforce unconstitutional law or Executive Orders that are unconstitutional in nature.
After the first arrest, all hell will break loose.
The case will go all the way to the Supreme Court. From there it’s anyone’s guess but if they prevail laws like this will pop up all over the country.
The government looks to strip citizens of their Second Amendment rights while at the same time put you in danger from rioters. You mustn’t defend yourself. And Heaven forbid that you should have a defense when either antifa or BLM try to yank you out of your car to beat you up.
Or to protect your home from thieves. Or any place you want to feel secure in.
Newton County, Missouri is leading the way.
Will your county follow?
That section of the Missouri constitution reads as follows:
That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms, ammunition, and accessories typical to the normal function of such arms, in defense of his home, person, family and property, or when lawfully summoned in aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned. The rights guaranteed by this section shall be unalienable. Any restriction on these rights shall be subject to strict scrutiny and the state of Missouri shall be obligated to uphold these rights and shall under no circumstances decline to protect against their infringement.
Specifically, the ordinance targets federal policies disallows the federal government from registering or tracking the sale of guns. The FBI probably has all the information they need to track people who buys guns. Regulation of firearms is not among the enumerated powers of the federal government, therefore it should be decided by each individual state.
The Second Amendment sanctuary movement has been growing throughout the country, with hundreds of counties passing some form of a declaration protecting gun rights from encroachments perpetrated by higher levels of government.
The sanctuary movement has only recently come to the state of Missouri, with several counties recently declaring themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries and the state legislature pushing similar bills. But Newton County might have adopted the strongest language in the entire country – going so far as to criminalize enforcement or cooperation with federal law enforcement who seek to enforce such policies.
