Cheboygan County will vote on being a "Second Amendment Sanctuary County" on January 28.
We just got it passed in Mackinac county.

Why? what's the point? It's mental masturbation with no teeth. No sheriff in MI is actually going to arrest state police, feds, or other agents enforcing laws.
And they're not trying to pass laws right now anyway.
Even in Virginia, the "sanctuary" counties and cities really don't have teeth.
And you still have to register your pistols, you still have to have tax stamps, you can't carry a loaded rifle in your car, can't open carry in a vehicle without a CPL...
They accomplish not a damn thing except making a few people feel good, ensuring they re-elect their local politicians.
Money in the bank for the local legislatures. HEY! If we write this meaningless ******** up, and sign it, people will vote for us! We don't even have to actually back it up!
I do it to get Midlandshooter all twisted up.

Never mind the fact that they can't. This was tried in the late 19th century with US Marshalls and didn't work.
True. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but there seem to be a fair number of people that believe their county will be some kind of sovereign territory, with no gun laws being enforced.
I suspect you are right. Most of what I have seen is just right leaning virtue signaling to pander to the voters.
However, there are some tangible things that can be done. The joint resolution by MOC/MGO/MCRGO is realistic and honest. The same can't be said for most of the others ones.
