Background/Purpose of Request:
The Brunswick County Board of Commissioners adopted a Resolution in Support of the Constitution and Laws of the United States and North Carolina by unanimous vote on February 18, 2013. This resolution reaffirmed the oath of the Board to uphold the Constitution, with special regard to the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States and Article One, Section Thirty of the Constitution of North Carolina. It also remains in effect and continues to be supported by the Board of Commissioners.
The proposed resolution reaffirms the Board's support of the Second Amendment right of citizens to possess firearms and to use firearms for traditionally lawful purposes, and further pledges to oppose, within the legal means, efforts to unconstitutionally restrict such Second Amendment Rights. |
