Bradshaw ‘in support’ of 2A sanctuary county

News
2A Georgia

HIAWASSEE, Ga. – Towns County Sole Commissioner Cliff Bradshaw stated to FYN, Jan. 22, that he consulted with County Attorney Robb Kiker concerning the possibility of securing Towns County as a pro-Second Amendment sanctuary county. Bradshaw, a Second Amendment supporter, raised the topic during an opportune meeting concerning the SPOLST tax with legal counsel.

“I’m waiting until the next sheriff is elected to proceed,” Bradshaw said. “We’ll obviously need the support of the sheriff’s office to move forward.”

With Towns County Sheriff Chris Clinton retiring, a newly-elected chief law enforcement officer will take office.

In essence, Commissioner Bradshaw chose to delay a solid stance on the matter until post-election results.

The topic was brought to the forefront of the commissioner’s attention by Towns County citizens, the result of the “Red Flag” law recently enacted in Virginia. The 2A sanctuary county movement has gained substantial traction in Georgia, with social media groups forming in support of the cause.

Second Amendment sanctuaries, also known as a gun sanctuary, refer 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 that are violative of the Second Amendment.

    So sad and even scary that people don’t understand. We don’t want to gun rights to go hunting… We want our Second Amendment right to protect ourselves from an overreaching government! People who don’t understand that, have not read the history of our country and other countries where the government has taken over and we’ve lost all of our freedom’s and in many cases holocausts have occurred, after taking away our gun rights.

    Not to mention, these new gun laws do nothing to protect us from evil people who will get guns anyway. Evil people will not and do not follow the gun laws that we currently have. Personally I refuse to go any place where they don’t allow me to carry my weapon. I feel vulnerable and unable to protect my family knowing that those are the places that people with evil intent will likely partake in their evil actions.

    I totally and fully support our 2nd Amendment rights to own and bear arms. The gun is not the problem, it’s those who chose to use it for illegal purposes that are to blame. As for our Commissioner wanting to wait until the election for a new sheriff, I wholly support him in this decision. This just shows he is willing to work with other elected officials on this matter. I know Commissioner Bradshaw is a strong supporter of all our constitutional rights. We need more leaders like him in offices today.

      I am in favor of Towns County being a 2nd Amendment County. People who vote and pay taxes to this great nation should be protected by the Constitution to buy, own, carry, and use our firearms legally. In my life, I have came close to being robbed or killed five times. You do not know what kind of fear these situations leave to make you street wise. Now days we have drug heads who will shoot you first then rob you. Society has changed for the worst. God help us.

    Can’t under stand the hold up. ” OBVIOUSLY” The Sheriff is elected by the people is he not? The people want the second amendment not to be infringed do they not? The County supports the Constitution of the the United States of America right? If you elect a new Sheriff who does not support those things I only have two questions. Where you born stupid or did you take a class?
