The news that several New Mexico counties are resisting against the radical liberal New Mexico legislature and governor by declaring themselves as "Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties" is beginning to percolate into the national media.
First, it was Fox News, and now U.S. News & World Report.
This puts the Democrats in New Mexico's capital in a bind. Pro-Second Amendment sheriffs and county commissioners are using the Democrats' own weapon against them.
Some snippets from U.S. News & World Report:
So far, commissioners in at least four counties situated in some of the most remote pockets of New Mexico have passed the resolutions in the past week, Cibola County Sheriff Tony Mace said. He expects more county commissions to be presented with similar resolutions at their upcoming meetings, he said.
The resolutions represent the sheriffs' latest attempt at pushing back against legislation supported by Gov. Lujan Grisham, a Democrat who took office in January, after the lawmen expressed opposition to the bills for weeks in legislative committee hearings, arguing they are unconstitutional.
The counties that this week declared themselves Second Amendment "sanctuaries" include Quay, Union and Curry counties in eastern New Mexico, and Socorro County, situated in the middle of the state and about an hour's drive south of Albuquerque, the state's largest city.
Mace said he expects commissioners will weigh the resolution next week in Cibola County, where he is sheriff. The county dotted by small towns amid mountains, mesas and open desert is on the western side of the state.
