Cheatham County reaffirms support for the Second Amendment in split vote
Summary
The Cheatham County Legislative Body voted 10–2 on Feb. 24 to adopt a resolution reaffirming support for the Second Amendment; two commissioners voted against or abstained. A separate motion on refugee resettlement was withdrawn for legal review.
Cheatham County commissioners adopted a resolution reaffirming support for the Second Amendment at their Feb. 24 meeting following discussion and a roll-call vote.
The resolution was moved by Commissioner David Anderson and seconded by Commissioner Gary Binkley. Commissioner Gary Binkley called for the question and the body approved the resolution by roll call: 10 Yes, 2 No. The minutes list Commissioner Ed Greer as voting No and Commissioner Connie Mayo as recorded “Abstain/No.” The item appears as Resolution 5 in the minutes.
Separately, a motion to approve a resolution of no consent to refugee resettlement (moved by Walter Weakley and seconded by Eugene O. Evans, Sr.) was withdrawn for review by the County Attorney and for additional discussion in the Calendar and Rules Committee; Commissioner Tim Williamson requested that Jennifer Hamblin be present when the committee considers the item.
The minutes record public commenters who expressed support for a county Second Amendment resolution during the public forum, and show the commission taking formal action on the reaffirmation resolution during new business.
The minutes do not provide the full text of the adopted resolution, nor do they enumerate enforcement steps or legal consequences; the action recorded is a formal expression of support documented in the commission’s resolutions.
