Palmetto State
Taking Lead Again in Restoring Balance of Federalism
While a number of states are currently
considering legislation to nullify federal gun laws, rules, acts, orders and
regulations, and various sheriffs around the country are issuing notice that
they will not enforce any such federal laws, a new grassroots undercurrent
could be building to support those efforts. Local governments nullifying
unconstitutional federal acts.
Today, Beaufort County, North Carolina
became the first in the country to do so. The board of commissioners passed a
nullification resolution in support of the 2nd Amendment. The vote was
unanimous. The resolution reads, in part:
The Beaufort County Board of
Commissioners calls upon the Governor and General Assembly of the State of
North Carolina to immediately pass an act to nullify the implementation within
the State of North Carolina of any Federal law, executive order or regulations
restricting the right to keep and bear arms
It continues, and makes clear that the
County will play no supporting role to the federal government in attacks on the
2nd Amendment
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the County
Manager be directed to see that no county paid staff participate in nor allow
any county resources be used in the implementation of any Federal law,
executive order or executive directive that infringe on the right to keep and
bear arms
Enthusiasm from the community was high.
Representatives from the North Carolina Tenth Amendment Center reported that
the “room was packed” to the point that the crowd was “overflowing out into the
hall.” Two local tv stations were on hand to report as well.
All politics is local ? Correction. All successful politics are local.
