When you’re talking about sanctuary status, it’s a tough thing for a county. After all, while there have been no real repercussions for cities opting to ignore federal immigration law, anti-gunners are a more vindictive bunch. They’re likely to lash out like one lawmaker is doing in Illinois.

But still, some elected officials have agreed to do just that, thus making a brave stand for the Second Amendment.

Unfortunately, not all who consider it will follow through.

Thurston County Board of Commissioners declined to put a vote earlier this month on an ordinance that would make Thurston County a “Second Amendment Preservation County.”

The ordinance, put forth by a group of local gun advocates, was shelved by the board, which heard public comment by those opponents of Initiative-1639, a measure that makes changes to gun ownership and purchase requirements which was passed during the last midterm election.

Joseph Brumbles, one of the half-dozen or so citizens that provided public comment, said the piece of legislation infringes the people’s second amendment rights.

“We don’t want our rights to be taken away. If we don’t have a second amendment, we don’t have any rights,” Brumbles said.
