Board reaffirms 2nd Amendment sanctuary resolution from 2019
Summary
Supervisor Billings moved and the board unanimously reaffirmed the December 2019 resolution declaring the county a 2nd Amendment sanctuary and pledged to oppose what it views as unconstitutional restrictions; the board recorded the reaffirmation by unanimous voice/hand vote.
The Smyth County Board of Supervisors unanimously reaffirmed its December 2019 resolution declaring the county a 2nd Amendment sanctuary.
Supervisor Billings introduced the motion, saying he would like to "reaffirm that we stand behind the 2nd amendment, and we declare or still declare that Smith County is a sanctuary county for the 2nd amendment rights" and moved that the board reaffirm the earlier resolution. (Transcript spelling corrected to Smyth County.)
The chair read the resolution language into the record, which cites the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment and Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution, and the board voted unanimously to reaffirm the county’s intent to oppose what it deems unconstitutional restrictions and to use legal means if necessary.
