Interesting..although if I were forced to live in Needles...I'd have to give my guns away...lest I depart to
Hell..where it's warmer!
This California town wants to be a 2nd Amendment 'sanctuary city' for guns and ammo
"Last month, other city leaders followed the Needles councilman's suggestion and declared this town along the Colorado River a "sanctuary city" for the 2nd Amendment.
The collision of liberal and conservative buzzwords was meant to be a poke in the eye to the Golden State — the heart of the liberal "resistance" against a president voters in Needles overwhelmingly supported in 2016. And likely will again in 2020. This conservative small town is part of California, but also quite apart from it. Those big-city politicians making laws in Sacramento, many people here are convinced, don't give one damn about a place like Needles.
In the coming months, city officials hope to somehow cajole the state to allow Needles and possibly other border towns to be exempt from rules on purchasing ammunition, which would allow people here to buy ammo from out of state, and honor concealed carry permits for people who have obtained them outside California.
"For so long we've had to deal with the laws as they are," said Mayor Jeff Williams. "It was time to stand up and say, 'Enough.'""
