Board reaffirms 2019 2nd Amendment sanctuary resolution unanimously
Summary
Supervisor Billings moved and the board unanimously reaffirmed the December 10, 2019 resolution declaring Smith County a 2nd Amendment sanctuary and pledged to oppose what it views as unconstitutional restrictions within the limits of state and federal law.
The Smith County Board of Supervisors unanimously reaffirmed its December 10, 2019 resolution asserting the county’s intent to stand as a 2nd Amendment sanctuary.
Supervisor Billings (S11) asked the board to revisit and reaffirm the prior resolution as a show of continued support for citizens’ rights. Chair (S1) read the resolution language aloud, invoking the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution, and concluding with the board’s declaration that Smith County is a 2nd Amendment sanctuary. The motion to reaffirm passed unanimously.
Supervisors said the reaffirmation was largely symbolic but important to constituents; no new enforcement action or appropriation was attached to the reaffirmation.
