We, the citizens of Scott County Indiana, wish to declare our county a second amendment sanctuary county in the state of Indiana.  Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinances refer to ordinances adopted by some jurisdictions in the United States to prevent the enforcement of certain gun control measures that violate the Second Amendment.  The ordinances typically prevent the expenditure of funds for various gun control proposals, such as emergency protection orders, enforcement of gun background checks, and red flag laws.  

SASOs are an effective way to send a message to both the state, and federal representatives of a state, that their citizens will not support those who violate their rights, and attempt to dismantle the Second Amendment.  As opposed to resolutions that simply state a locality's intent or position, an ordinance creates legal parameters and guidelines that the locality follows as law, allowing them to be enforced in ways that resolutions are not.  For this reason, GOA supports the adoption of Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinances as a method of safeguarding your rights, and send a message to your government.  

The Gun Owners of America support the efforts of communities to pass no-compromise SASOs and have drafted a template that can be customized for the state and community that wishes to pass such a resolution.

Let us come together in signing this petition to declare Scott County a Second Amendment Sanctuary in the state of Indiana!
