Clinton County Newest 2A Sanctuary

The Clinton County Board of Supervisors has approved a resolution to make their community Iowa’s 37th Second Amendment Sanctuary County.

IFC WELCOMES NEWS OF CLINTON COUNTY’S “SECOND AMENDMENT SANCTUARY” STATUS

“Momentum in Iowa is clearly on the side of civil rights,” said Dave Funk, Iowa Firearms Coalition (IFC) President. “We would like to thank the Clinton County Board of Supervisors for taking this step, ensuring their residents’ tax dollars will not be used towards federal efforts that violate the Constitution.”

Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutions at the county level do not supersede federal law but they do prevent local resources from being used to assist the federal government in efforts that violate the Second Amendment.

The move follows Iowa’s passage of Statewide Public Measure 1, the Freedom Amendment, which placed the right to keep and bear arms into Iowa’s state constitution. The vote passed with more than 65% support – the most popular item on the 2022 midterm ballot.

IFC has continued to work with state and local elected officials to protect the right of Iowans to keep and bear arms in the wake of ongoing threats by some in Washington, D.C. to support actions that would infringe upon the Second Amendment.

Iowa’s Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties, so far, also include Mitchell, Chickasaw, Pocahontas, Hardin, Carroll, Jasper, Cedar, Washington, Madison, Mills, Adams, Clarke, Humboldt, Kossuth, Ringgold, Buchanan, Van Buren, Winnebago, Decatur, Dallas, Guthrie, Benton, Page, Lucas, Taylor, Union, Hancock, Buena Vista, Pottawattamie, Cherokee, Montgomery, Fremont, Muscatine, Des Moines, Ida and Wayne.

The Iowa Firearms Coalition, an affiliate of both the NRA and the NSSF, is a 501(c4) nonprofit and is Iowa’s only effective pro-Second Amendment rights organization.
