Clinton County declines request for National Gun Violence Awareness proclamation
Summary
A request from Lisa Fox for a National Gun Violence Awareness proclamation emphasizing safe firearm storage and education was presented; supervisors thanked advocates but declined to issue a proclamation, citing county practice limits on proclamations and concern about politicization.
A remote request for a National Gun Violence Awareness proclamation was presented to the Clinton County Board of Supervisors on May 18 by Lisa Fox, who said the intention was to promote gun-safety education and secure storage rather than address political questions or Second Amendment rights.
Supervisors acknowledged the importance of public safety and commended Fox and her family for their advocacy but expressed concern about expanding proclamation requests into potentially political or controversial areas. They noted the county’s past practice limiting proclamations to county fair and select statewide awareness observances and declined to proceed with a proclamation. No formal resolution or vote was recorded on the matter.
