The Marion County Board’s Community Relations Committee Tuesday night was unanimous in its support for second amendment gun rights, but rejected becoming a sanctuary county.

Committee Chair Tabitha Meador feels the resolution will make the position of the county board clear to those in Springfield, without creating legal problems that could occur under a sanctuary declaration. She read from the resolution when arguing this was the best way to put Marion County on the record against gun control legislation.

“We hereby oppose the enactment of any legislation that would infringe upon the right of the people to keep and bare arms and consider such laws to be unconstitutional and beyond legislative authority. We further resolve that Marion County Board demands that the Illinois General Assembly cease any action restriction the right of the people to keep and bare arms and hereby demand the governor of Illinois to veto any such legislation.”
