Recently the Maryland legislature passed some sweeping gun control legislation, deceitfully titled the "Maryland Firearms Safety Act of 2013," which banned 45 types of ordinary rifles and magazines which could contribute to the common defense of the People of that state, along with requiring law abiding citizens to submit to licensing fees, background checks, fingerprinting, and renewal fees. To stand up against this tyrannical and unconstitutional Act, the People of Carroll County, Maryland, through their Board of Commissioners, has presented, debated and adopted a resolution known as the “Second Amendment Preservation Resolution”. This resolution, among other things, declared Carroll County as a “Second Amendment Sanctuary County”. The People of Carroll County were joined in this action by County officials, including the Board of County Commissioners, the States Attorney, and the Sheriff, who all believed that this action was necessary to counter the General Assembly's passage of "pretended legislation." The Resolution further declares that all unconstitutional provisions of the act will not be enforced in Carroll County.
Such actions by the People, to protect their liberty and rights from over zealous, Constitution shredding legislators at both the state and federal level may very well be the best legal recourse that can be taken to reaffirm and protect gun rights, and should perhaps stand as a model for grassroots action and involvement. Think seriously about getting a similar action started in your county, using the Carroll County Resolution as a frame of reference.
