GUNS: Pass sanctuary laws

| March 12, 2021 1:00 AM

“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”

The above sentence was a typing drill that I became familiar with in my typing class in 1969. Then, it was nothing more than a warmup exercise that had no meaning. Now, after 52 years, this line has greater meaning and needs to call on “all good people!”

The Second Amendment of the Constitution states: “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” The Founding Fathers thought this was important enough to make it the SECOND one! Make no mistake, the Biden administration has every intent to violate your constitutional right, but only if we let them.

Many counties and states have pursued Second Amendment Sanctuary Laws. Camden County, Mo., has enacted a tough law and Kootenai County should have no less and NOW! Kootenai County has approximately 131,000 adults of which I believe the vast majority don’t want any infringement on their 2A rights.

I am asking everyone to take a STAND! Stand for God, for your family, for your neighbor, for the citizens of Kootenai County, and most of all Stand for yourself. Contact the Kootenai County Commissioners and tell them to take a stand and make Kootenai County a 2A Sanctuary. Do not take NO for an answer. If they are unwilling to take a stand it may be time to find others that will.

Contact the commissioners:
