Supervisor reads resolution reaffirming county's support for 2nd Amendment; board debate on deferral
Summary
Supervisor Hamlet read a proposed resolution reaffirming Cumberland County as a 2nd Amendment sanctuary and opposing state measures described as inconsistent with the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen decision; a board member moved to defer consideration to May, but the substitute motion did not get a second at that time.
Supervisor Hamlet read a resolution renewing the board’s 2019 designation of Cumberland County as a sanctuary for 2nd Amendment rights and stating opposition to proposed state legislation the board characterized as potentially infringing constitutionally protected firearms rights. The resolution cites the U.S. Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen in asserting that modern firearm regulations without historical analogs are presumptively unconstitutional.
During consideration, a board member moved to defer the resolution to the May 12 meeting. The motion to substitute or move consideration lacked a second and did not proceed when Supervisor Hamlet declined to second it. The transcript does not record a final roll‑call vote on the resolution itself during the provided portion of the meeting.
