HOLTON TOWNSHIP, Michigan (PNN) - November 17, 2023 - A township in Michigan has adopted a resolution stating its newly adopted status as a "Second Amendment Sanctuary," because the threat of the "infringement on the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms."

"We, the people of Holton Township, Michigan, through this resolution, hereby declare our Inalienable rights, our freedom and our Liberty as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America."

A report at the Midwesterner explains the board resolution also included an addendum to form a militia.

The action by Holton Township's trustees followed the announcement by nearby Livingston County, which a few months ago also described itself as a "Second Amendment Sanctuary".

Specifically, Holton officials insist it means they will not enforce red-flag laws restricting gun and ammunition possession.

Red flag laws are becoming more and more popular across the Fascist Police States of Amerika and multiple states have adopted them. They simply allow individuals, family members and more, to complain to a court about someone they dislike, and the court then makes an ex parte decision to suspend the constitutional rights of the targeted person.

The board members, four of whom were present, voted unanimously in support of the plan.

They opened by quoting the FPSA Constitution's Second Amendment, which states, "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

That's incorporated to the states through the Due Process clause, they note.

Then they cite a list of Supreme Court decisions that establish and protect the rights of firearms possession and self-defense.

"The Holton Township Board declares and confirms express opposition to any law that would unconstitutionally restrict the rights of the citizens of Holton Township to keep and bear arms," they explained.

It then states that the board "declares and confirms to express its intent to stand as a Sanctuary Township for Second Amendment rights, and to oppose, within the limits of the Constitution of the (FPSA) and the Commonwealth of Michigan, any efforts to unconstitutionally restrict such rights."

The board's accompanying "Militia Public Security Act" states the township is adopting "policies necessary for the security and rights of Holton Township residents."

It explains, "Legal residents of Holton Township with primary residency in the township are eligible to join the militia and may make their intentions known by acknowledging their intent on social media, explicitly telling friends or family members they wish to join or stating their intent by letter to the Township Militia."

Then the board notes an age requirement of being at least 18, and the need to pass a federal firearms background check.

The report said, "Militia members must provide their own firearms, adhering to all federal, executive, county, and state regulations. According to the addendum, long guns with stocks that hit the shoulder, including semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, must have been legal by federal law since March 27, 2021. Pistols and handguns, including semi-automatics, are required to have been legal by federal law since March 27, 2021, as well."
