Quorum Court drops Second Admendment subcommittee idea
Summary
BENTONVILLE -- Benton Countys Quorum Court on Thursday night decided against forming a subcommittee to discuss sanctuary proposals. Justice of the Peace Jerry Snow made a motion against forming a subcommittee and to move the item back to Committee of the Whole to discuss a resolution. The Arkansas effort is part of a national trend taking root in Western states and in Virginia, in particular, where more than 100 cities and counties have passed some sort of Second Amendment sanctuary resolution. County Attorney George Spence originally drafted a one-page resolution and some minor changes have been made since then, he said Thursday night. Rainwater provided a draft for counties to consider, but he noted neither the association nor its Risk Management Fund were taking a stand on the issue.
