Revision as of 03:13, 22 January 2020

States and counties that have passed Second Amendment sanctuary laws or resolutions as of January 19, 2020

Second Amendment sanctuary, also known as a gun sanctuary, refers to states, counties, or localities in the United States that have adopted laws or resolutions to prohibit or impede the enforcement of certain gun control measures perceived as violative of the Second Amendment such as universal gun background checks, high capacity magazine bans, assault weapon bans, red flag laws, etc.[1][2] Although other jurisdictions had previously adopted legislation now characterized as creating Second Amendment sanctuaries, the Effingham (IL) County Board is reckoned, on April 16, 2018, to be the first body to explicitly use the term "sanctuary" in its resolution prohibiting county employees from enforcing certain state gun control laws.[3][4][1][5]

Examples of the resolutions include the Second Amendment Preservation Ordinance in Oregon[6] and the Second Amendment Protection Act in Kansas.[7] The term "sanctuary" draws its inspiration from the immigration sanctuary cities movement of jurisdictions that have resolved to not assist federal enforcement of immigration laws against illegal aliens.[4][8][9][10]

State laws

Although the Obama-era state laws listed below were approved prior to the adoption of the term "sanctuary" in reference to legislation resisting the enforcement of gun control laws they are now frequently characterized as part of the Second Amendment sanctuary movement.[3][4][1]

Alaska

On July 9, 2010, Governor Sean Parnell signed the Alaska Firearms Freedom Act (HB 186), declaring that certain firearms and accessories are exempt from federal regulation.[11] The text can be read here.[12] On September 10, 2013, Governor Parnell signed HB 69, which amended and expanded HB 186.[13][14] The text can be read here.[15]

On December 19, 2019, at the request of Del. Jerrauld C. Jones (D-Norfolk), state Attorney General Mark Herring issued an advisory opinion indicating the sanctuary resolutions were null and void.[332][333] A press release quoted him as saying: “When the General Assembly passes new gun safety laws they will be enforced, and they will be followed. These resolutions have no legal force, and they're just part of an effort by the gun lobby to stoke fear”.[332][333] Del. Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah) claimed that Herring's recent opinion contradicted his 2014 stance "regarding the supremacy of state law over the preferences of the officials who must enforce them".[333] Gilbert was referring to Herring's refusal to defend Virginia's Marshall-Newman Amendment, a voter-approved constitutional provision that prohibited same-sex marriages.[333][334]
