Needles, California Wants to Declare Itself a Pro Gun Sanctuary

I lived in California in the mid 1980s.  Even then it was known as the land of fruits and nuts, but it was something we all joked about.  Now, it's no joke.  The inmates are running the asylum, and the whole State is going to hell in a hand basket - to put two cliches' together.  But California wasn't bad to live in then.  In fact, the year round sunny and warm weather was great.

Now, however, I suspect it would be a nightmare unless you are a Leftist.  But over at Bearing Arms Tom Knighton points out that a California Town Wants To Become a Pro Gun Sanctuary.

Yes, Sir, and the town is...wait for it...Needles. Needles is in Southern California, all right, but in the hot dry desert part on the border with Arizona. Still...

I have serious doubts that the town will be permitted to be a pro-gun sanctuary in an anti-gun sea, mind you. If there’s anything I know about lawmakers, it’s their hypocrisy. Ignoring laws is fine when it’s for something they support, but when it’s not, suddenly they’re all about law and order.

Frankly, it doesn’t matter. Just seeing a small community make a stand like this warms my soul. Not only that, but I suspect it’ll inspire some to check out the small community if for no other reason than to not be surrounded by anti-gunners as you will in other parts of the state.

It may also inspire some other communities to make similar declarations.

Indeed, I hope it does inspire other communities to declare themselves pro gun sanctuaries. I have long noted that when Leftists can get away with blatantly disobeying the law, then the law protects no one.  both sides can play that game.  This ultimately helps no one, and makes everyone less safe.  But, if declaring cities and counties pro gun sanctuaries makes the Leftist think twice, I say go for it.
