On Monday, the Mercer County Commission passed a law nullifying any federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations which they say would interfere with the rights of their citizens to keep and carry arms.
Such laws include:
–Taxes, fees, or stamps imposed on firearms, accessories, or ammunition not common to all other goods or services;
–Registering or tracking of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition or their owners;
–Acts ordering the confiscation of firearms, accessories, or ammunition from law abiding citizens.
The ordinance declares that no county officer or employee can be a party to enforcing any federal laws that the commission says infringes on the right to keep and bear arms. The ordinance also says that any official, agent, employee, or deputy of the US Government who enforces any such infringements are permanently barred from being hired as a law enforcement officer or to supervise any law enforcement officer in Mercer County.
This ordinance does not apply to Mercer County deputies who assist federal agents in the arrest of suspected criminals.
Federal agents attempting to enforce regulations listed in the ordinance in Mercer County will be subject to arrest by the Mercer County Sheriff’s Department.
