West Milford, New Jersey, is now a “Township Sanctuary” for Second Amendment rights.

NJ.com reports that the township adopted a resolution stating it “opposes further interference with, or abridging of, the rights of lawful gun owners.”

The resolution makes West Milford a “Second Amendment/lawful gun owner sanctuary township.”

West Milford’s action comes after well over 60 counties and cities in Virginia have adopted Second Amendment Sanctuary status over the past few weeks. Rockingham County recently adopted sanctuary status with more than 3,000 residents in attendance at the county’s board of supervisors meeting.

On December 12, 2019, Breitbart News reported that Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) vowed “consequences” for counties that refuse to enforce gun control.

Rep. Donald McEachin (D-VA) suggested Northam could use the National Guard to compel counties to follow gun control laws.
