Second Amendment Sanctuary Movement Secretly Growing, Mainstream Media Ignores It – The Free Press
When Vice President Kamala Harris kinda, sorta visited the Mexican border last week she at least made it to the El Paso airport where she was greeted by a Texas Democratic congresswoman who declared El Paso was the new Ellis Island.
And that seems to comport with the Democrats plan to turn America into a sanctuary country.
But most of America is now a sanctuary for gun owners.
Last week the pro-Second Amendment website SanctuaryCounties.com reported that 1,930 of Americas counties, or 61 percent of the total, are considered safe spaces for gun owners.
More than half that number 1,137 are counties that have taken it upon themselves to pass Second Amendment Sanctuary laws, the website notes.
The remainder seems to fall under the 21 states that have adopted Constitutional Carry laws, which allow gun owners to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.
The idea of an ever-increasing number of Americans being allowed nearly unfettered ability to carry guns or be free of government regulation of them is happening in a media vacuum, according to Lee Williams, a pro-Second Amendment gun policy columnist.
The mainstream media has missed one of the biggest trend stories ever the massive surge in Second Amendment sanctuaries at the state, county, and local levels, Williams noted.
He wrote that last month when the number of sanctuary counties was 1,459.
Williams also pointed out that this movement seemed to take off after Democrats seized control of the Virginia state government and began a crackdown on guns.
Youd be hard-pressed to get half of America to agree that beer is good, or that steak should be served medium rare, Williams wrote. Yet millions of Americans have forced their elected officials to erect a legislative wall around their communities to protect their gun rights.
Despite the skyrocketing trend, Williams added, stories about the Second Amendment sanctuary movement are scarce unless theyre anti-gun.
Case in point: The media last week quickly picked up Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, vetoing a bill authorizing constitutional carry.
Williams further noted, There has been very little of the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth over this nationwide trend from anti-gun groups, which could indicate they realize the scope of what theyre up against.
Some cable TV news actors have referred to Second Amendment sanctuaries assymbolic, [emphasis original] in what can be seen as an attempt to downplay or trivialize the movement, Williams concluded. When a half of the country supports an issue any issue theres nothing symbolic about it.
Maybe thats even more so now that the sanctuary movement has hit 60- percent and keeps rising.
