Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners approves 2nd amendment 'sanctuary' status.
The Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners by a vote of 4-2, approved a largely symbolic measure Wednesday protect the second Amendment after a 4 hour debate.

The effort started after the Mike Bloomberg funded Virginia legislator turnover revealed a devastating and anti constitutional plot to remove guns from law abiding citizens of that state.
As we all know Gretchen Whitmer is no friend to gun owners and has already attempted to exert her will through the regulatory appointment process. Fortunately for sportsmen and gun owners her efforts were thwarted.

The Grand Traverse resolution shows two things of importance: 1. The word "sanctuary" is no where in it yet newspaper headlines said "sanctuary". In AZ, similar resolutions are 2nd Amendment "preservation". 2. A clause that says no county tax money may go toward any issue (law, regulation, etc.) which offends the US Constitution. BTW, Michigan's constitution mirrors the US constitution on this issue.
It is merely an affirmation by our elected officials of their Oath of Office and their duty to us. Remember at least one no-vote commissioner at election time. For sure, he doesn't get it.
Also, many in the community (and one commissioner, the other no-vote) have stated their concerns regarding taking on issues which are outside the scope of the county commission such as this one and the resolution on Line 5. I too was one of these folks. But, witnessing how these resolutions bring out the community to exercise 1st Amendment right to free speech and redress of government...is refreshing and I stand corrected.
Everyone should take a moment to read an excellent, yet seemingly forgotten novel by, John Ross.
