Tazewell County joined the ranks of Second Amendment Sanctuary counties on Tuesday and took it one step further. Before a crowd of more than 200, the Board of Supervisors unanimously passed two resolutions during their meeting on Tuesday night. The Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution and a resolution promoting the order of militia within Tazewell County both passed to loud cheers from a crowd that overflowed the 189-seat board room.
Board Chairman Travis Hackworth announced at the beginning of the meeting that both resolutions would be unanimously passed. The militia resolution was approved on a poll earlier this month, but county residents via Facebook and other means kept asking for the sanctuary resolution as well.
Poster Comment:
County has population of 41,000, borders West Virginia and is a little over 96% white. Sheriff's posse might be better than a militia. Trump scored almost 82% of the vote in 2016.
