The Left has been using "sanctuary" laws to make themselves immune from national immigration statutes. Now a Washington State community is considering declaring itself a "sanctuary" against the gun control Initiative 1639, in order to restore the legality of the civil right of self-defense.
~~~~~~~~
"REPUBLIC, Wash. -- The town of Republic may declare itself a sanctuary city from a newly passed gun measure.
"Republic is in northeastern Washington, about two-and-a-half hours
from Spokane, near the Canadian border. About 1,000 people live there.
"The mayor there is considering an ordinance, proposed by the police
chief to make Republic a sanctuary city for gun rights. This is in
response to voters across the state passing Initiative 1639.
"That initiative puts more restrictions on buying and storing guns.
But in Ferry County, where Republic is, nearly three out of four voters
opposed it. The police chief, Loren Culp in Republic has already said he
would not enforce the law."
“I felt that it was such a blatant disregard for constitutional rights
that I felt like I had no choice but to stand up for the people that I
serve," Culp said in an interview with Fox News.
“We are a society built on the rule of law,” said Renee Hopkins, CEO of
Alliance for Gun Responsibility, which led the campaign for I-1639. “If
we have leaders that are responsible for ensuring the laws are enforced,
picking and choosing which laws they get to enforce, we have a huge
problem.”

The Leftists insist this is a society of law. If only they had thought of that when they enacted their own "sanctuary" statutes to avoid enforcing laws they don't like. (By the way, the Left's "Sanctuary laws lead to brutal violence and death). Apparently they want only the laws they like and everybody else can be oppressed.
