Support of a Madison County Idaho Resolution for Madison County to be a Second Amendment Sanctuary County

No People on Earth have been given such a political inheritance as the United States of America.  From the Declaration of Independence to the Bill of Rights, the Endowment of our Creator has been guaranteed by law across our land.  As time has passed it appears necessary to reiterate and support the sacred Declarations of our Founders. 

The debate of firearm possession by right and self-defense has grown throughout the Nation.  It is our desire to cement our Natural Rights of private gun ownership.  We believe such clarity will be helpful to enjoy continued protection provided by the Bill of Rights.  Many municipalities throughout the state have adopted similar Proclamations to secure the Rights of their citizens. 

Please consider the Proclamation below.  It shall be presented and submitted to the Madison County Commissioners on January 25 at 10:45 AM to join many other municipalities and proclaim our county as a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary County.
