If you live in Franklin County, rest easy. The Franklin County Commission won't let the U.S. Government come after your guns. Feel better now?
Wait...you didn't know these rights were in jeopardy? Recently, County Commissioner Joseph Baldwin introduced a resolution to block any federal or state law that would “dilute or violate the important Second Amendment rights of the citizens of Franklin County.”
First, how many think our state legislature would ever do such a thing? The federal government, perhaps? We can hardly wait for the Franklln County v. the United States lawsuit to be filed. Dibs on printing tickets.
Second, why did Commissioner Baldwin think such a resolution was needed? It seems his friends in Chilton County have passed a similar resolution, and he didn't want Franklin left out.
Let's see, the Franklin County Commission has no idea when the child of one of the commissioners steals over a quarter-million dollars from the county, but it keeps up with nonsensical resolutions from South Alabama counties. Priorities and all that.
Does the commission take equal pains to ensure any real legal issues are handled correctly? According to the commissioners themselves, they have no idea how a recent county insurance snafu was originally handled or how the county came to oppose work release for the aforementioned county embezzler. They leave those things up to Roger Bedford, the county attorney.
And these five men (yes, they're all male) actually draw a check for meeting twice a month?
It always amazes me how quickly some people are to belittle the rights they don't understand.
ReplyDeleteProtecting a 'Right' against those who work to remove it, is a sad, albeit necessary endeavor these days. Fixing/Restoring a Right later is an impossible task and, I applaud those who are paying attention and protecting the Rights established by our country's founders who created them in the first place. Don't believe that ? Ask the people of Venezuela, Nepal and Russia.
