IFC WELCOMES NEWS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY’S “SECOND AMENDMENT SANCTUARY” STATUS
Jack Seward, District 1
Marcus Fedler, District 3
Stan Stoops, District 4
Richard Young, Chair, District 5
*Bob Yoder, Vice-Chair, District 2 – VOTED NO on the resolution and didn’t support the civil rights of Iowans.
The move follows Clarke County, which declared its Second Amendment Sanctuary status on Monday.
“We are overjoyed to learn yet another Iowa county is standing up for their citizens’ right to keep and bear arms,” said Michael Ware, IFC Chair. “The Second Amendment is an important civil right and we are grateful more elected officials are affirming their support of it.”
While Second Amendment Sanctuary legislation at the county level does not supersede federal law, it does prevent local resources from being used to enforce measures that are at odds with the U.S. Constitution.
The IFC has been working with state and local elected officials to protect the right of Iowans to keep and bear arms in the wake of threats by some in Washington, D.C. to support actions which would infringe upon the Second Amendment.
The Iowa Firearms Coalition, an affiliate of the NRA, is a 501(c4) nonprofit and Iowa’s only effective gun rights organization.
As always, we’re a group of volunteers that needs your engagement and support. WE NEED YOUR HELP volunteering and we need you to become a member of IFC.
