Dear Sherburne County Board of Commissioners,
Anti-Second Amendment legislation is making headlines in our nation, With this backdrop,
wwe respectfully urge the Sherburne County Board of Commissioners to adopt language that
would make its jurisdiction a Second Amendment sanctuary county
Nearly 400 counties across the United States already have adopted laws or resolutions to
prohibit or impede the enforcement of certain gun control measures that would violate the
Second Amendment, including universal background checks and bans on modern sporting
rifles, A number of states also have taken steps to protect the Second Amendment rights of
their citizens,
We look forward to doing our part as legislators to protect and fortify the Second
Amendment at the state level. In the meantime, we encourage you, as Sherburne County
lected officials, to provide leadership at the county level by doing your part to uphold the
Second Amendment rights our shared constituents enjoy under our cherished Constitution.
Your response to our request to make Sherburne County a Second Amendment sanctuary is
eagerly anticipated. Please let us know if we can assist in any way, including providing
draft language that can serve as a model for local implementation.
Sincerely,
Rep. Shane Mekeland Sen. Andrew Mathews
