El Paso County appears especially hostile to the law. It joined nearly 2,000 counties nationwide in declaring themselves “Second Amendment Sanctuaries” that protect the constitutional right to bear arms, passing a 2019 resolution that says the red flag law “infringes upon the inalienable rights of law-abiding citizens”

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN It's scary to live 40 miles north in NM. I always shudder when I see a TX license plate around here.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN: Unsurprising. It's quite fashionable, particularly in America, for people to revolt against laws they have been told to feel/believe are unjust and even "against the spirit of [whatever]". It's genuinely quite a pickle, technically, given the various structures of our overall government and that there are 300+ million people with varying opinions and beliefs living under it and insisting that they're correct and that everyone else is wrong or at least woefully misguided.
