Lenoir County, NC Passes 2nd Amendment Resolution

A Resolution to Preserve and Defend the United
States Constitution and North Carolina Constitution

Whereas, county commissioners taking office solemnly swear that we will support the Constitution of the United States and

Whereas, county commissioners taking office also solemnly swear they will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the State of North Carolina and to the Constitutional Powers and Authorities which are or may be established for the government thereof; and also promise to endeavor to support, maintain and defend the Constitution of the said State, not inconsistent with the Constitution Of the United States, to the best of our knowledge and ability, 

Whereas, The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed;” and

Whereas, Article I, Sec. 30 in the NC Constitution states “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed;” and

Whereas, our rights are given by Our Creator and listed in the Constitution of the United States as a limit to government; and

Whereas, a “Militia” when properly formed, is in fact the people themselves … and includes … all citizens capable of bearing arms; and

Whereas, “…well regulated” means, that the militia, i.e. the people must be well equipped; and

Whereas, it being “…necessary to the security of a free State” means that the right of the people to bear arms was, and remains, the ultimate barrier to government tyranny; and

Whereas, the lawless are unaffected by prohibitions imposed upon law abiding citizens’ natural rights; and

Therefore, the Lenoir County Board of Commissioners resolve as representatives of the people to defend the 2nd Amendment and Article I, Sec. 30 of the North Carolina Constitution.
