An Arizona county which borders Nevada, California and Utah has declared itself a 'Second Amendment Sanctuary County' in a largely symbolic move.
"The Board affirms its support of the Second Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, and declares Mohave County a Second Amendment Sanctuary County," reads a resolution approved unanimously on November 4 by the Mohave County Board of Supervisors.
"We have the support of the sheriff, and if it ever gets to the point where the courts would have to get involved because of gun laws implemented by the feds or the state, we would step up and fight them," said Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Hildy Angius.
"Although this is symbolic in nature, this reaffirms the county's commitment, as well as mine, to support and defend the U.S. and Arizona constitutions," said State Senator Sonny Borrelli.
According to the Phoenix New Times (https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/second-amendment-sanctuary-undocumented-mohave-tucson-vote-election-11384051), the move follows a recent trend across the southern and western United States for rural municipalities to reaffirm their support for gun rights by calling themselves "sanctuaries."
Last week, Parker County, Texas similarly declared its 2A Sanctuary status - while on October 9, Hood County, Texas did the same according to Breitbart (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/11/06/arizona-county-declares-second-amendment-sanctuary-status/).
