The passage of a resolution declaring McKinley County a "Second Amendment Sanctuary County" made the news in the Gallup Sun.

They wrote:

Unanimous decision made during a special meeting

The crowd filled the third floor meeting room of the McKinley County Courthouse on Wednesday to capacity, pouring out into the lobby and first floor rotunda.

People had gathered to hear a reading of and voice either their support or opposition to a resolution presented to the Board of Commissioners that would preserve the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution and declare McKinley County as a Second Amendment Sanctuary County.

A Second Amendment Sanctuary County has adopted resolutions to not enforce certain gun control measures that are seen as violating the Second Amendment. San Juan, Eddy, Curry, Quay, Socorro and Union counties are among the New Mexico counties that have adopted these sanctuary resolutions.

McKinley County Sheriff Ron Silversmith presented the resolution to the board Feb. 27.
