Bladen County 2nd Amendment Sanctuary County

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 30 of the North Carolina Constitution expressly protect the people’s right to keep and bear arms.  Nevertheless, gun control advocates around the country are proposing an array of new restrictions.  As a result, various counties and towns are taking a proactive stance to ensure there is no infringement upon this constitutional right.

More specifically, several counties and towns are declaring themselves a Second Amendment Sanctuary.  A Second Amendment Sanctuary means the locality will oppose possible gun control laws.  Therefore, if such sanctuary measures were passed or enacted, the Bladen County Board of Commissioners would be expressing their deepest commitment in protecting the constitutional right of all citizens in Bladen County to keep and bear arms. 

Although the right to keep and bear arms is crystal clear in the United States Constitution and the North Carolina Constitution, politicians continue to believe they have the power and authority to circumvent and redefine its true meaning.  It is time we reaffirm the constitutional right to keep and bear arms at the local level for the people of Bladen County.
