KENT COUNTY, Mich. — The Kent County Republican Party passed a resolution asking officials in Kent County to establish their jurisdiction as “a ‘sanctuary county’ for Second Amendment rights.”

The resolution, signed Monday, also requests the county’s Board of Commissioners, Sheriff’s Office and Prosecuting Attorney to support and defend residents’ Second Amendment rights.

Michigan Republicans say the resolution was passed in response to “gun-grabbing legislation” by Democrats in Lansing.
