Gun Rights Watch Tracks Gun Rights Across America.

Since we last visited the issue of Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties in Eastern Tennessee, four counties and one city have all declared their support for firearm rights and resistance to further restrictions — doubling the number of 2A territories.

At the Lake County Courthouse in Tavares, Florida on Tuesday, county commissioners took a united stand against the infringement of the right to keep and bear arms. Though Commission Chairwoman Leslie Campione was not in attendance, she supported the measure.

Just across the Colorado River from the new Second Amendment Sanctuary City of Needles, California lies vast Mohave County, Arizona — now also a Second Amendment Sanctuary. It is the largest addition so far, and the first in Arizona.

Recently, five more counties were added to Texas' Second Amendment Sanctuary Map. Many Lone Star activists are concerned about recent attempts to curb their rights and efforts are ramping up to stop any future gun control efforts before they can take hold.

On Friday, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu vetoed three gun control bills to reach his desk. These bills were strategically timed to be released to his office when they would have the most emotional impact and Sununu shut all three of them down. 

The influx of uninvited unlawful migrants flooding southern Texas, along with a rise in crime reports of home invasions and drug smuggling operations, has caused four commissioners in two border counties to vote to make them Second Amendment Sanctuaries. Hudspeth County, near El Paso, and Presidio County further to the south made the move as more counties in the area express interest in doing the same.

In St. Clair Township of St. Clair County tonight, the township's board took the opportunity to send a message to the state legislature that they're joining the chorus of voices in opposition to recent attempts at extreme and unconstitutional gun control efforts.

In Shawneetown, the seat of Gallatin County, Illinois, the County Board finally voted 4 to 1 tonight to approves a resolution confirming the Second Amendment rights of the county's citizens. The board and the county's population lean heavily Democrat.

While there are still numerous county-level Second Amendment Sanctuary and other resolutions going on around Illinois, we've been asked repeatedly to show an animation of each county change as it happened. This is for those of you that requested it. This is a just-for-fun exercise to pass time while we finish up several other projects all going on at the same time.

The Second Amendment Sanctuaries movement now includes among its members America's hottest city of Needles, California, which wants travelers to stop bypassing the town as a way to avoid running afoul of the state's onerous gun restrictions.
