MADERA, CA – The Madera County Board of Supervisors today considered adopting a resolution sponsored by Supervisor Jordan Wamhoff declaring Madera County a Second Amendment Sanctuary County. The decision was to be made this morning during its regularly scheduled meeting at the Madera County Government Center. We do not know yet the outcome of the vote, but we will update our readers when we learn the results.
The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Across the nation, counties have adopted “Second Amendment Sanctuary” resolutions to reaffirm their commitment to this fundamental right.
If adopted, the resolution would declare Madera County a Second Amendment Sanctuary, symbolizing the County’s support for the constitutional rights of lawful gun owners and aligning Madera with other counties across California and the nation that have taken similar action.
The resolution comes in response to the Governor’s continued push for stricter gun control measures, which have made it increasingly difficult for Californians to legally own and use firearms to protect themselves.
The resolution serves as an affirmation of Madera County’s support for the Second Amendment and the freedoms it guarantees and encourages strict adherence by Madera County’s law enforcement agencies to protect and preserve the individual’s ability to defend themselves.
