Michigan Second Amendment Sanctuaries
MCRGO has had quite a few contacts over the past three weeks asking about Second
Amendment Sanctuary counties in Michigan due to the issue receiving heavy news
coverage in Virginia.
MCRGO has worked with legal interests for Michigan Open Carry and Michigan Gun Owners
to develop a model resolution for counties to adopt. In a special meeting this past
week, MCRGO's Board has voted to endorse this model resolution. The model resolution
developed by MCRGO, MOC, and MGO can be found HERE [[link removed]].
You are welcome to use it in your county.
We understand that these county commission resolutions are only symbolic. The authority
to regulate firearms in Michigan rests with the Michigan Legislature -which fortunately
has pro-self defense majorities in the Michigan House and Michigan Senate. The authority
to police and prosecute in counties rests with the county sheriffs and county prosecutors.
We also understand the concern of some people that this firearms focus on the local
level may create the appearance of undermining preemption. Legally of course it
does not. The resolutions are merely affirmations of our natural rights protected
by the United States Constitution and the Michigan Constitution.
We are blessed not to be in the dangerous situation of Virginians who are faced
with hostile legislative majorities backing up a hostile governor who wants to ban
any new sales of modern rifles and force long gun registration in exchange for grandfathering
currently owned firearms.
But if the electoral winds shift against us in the future, we could face rocky times.
These resolutions have the potential to rally the Second Amendment movement in Michigan,
get more gun owners involved politically at the local level (not just on social
media), and identify local elected officials who are friends or foes.
The Michigan Legislature is also expected to consider a statewide Second Amendment
Sanctuary resolution in the near future. Unlike bills, legislative resolutions do
not go to the governor for approval.
