Sheriff declares Logan County a Sanctuary County for the 2nd Amendment


Logan County Sheriff Damon Devereaux, the Oklahoma Sheriff's Association 2018 Sheriff of the Year, has declared Logan County to be a 'Second Amendment Sanctuary County', vowing to not enforce any law that infringes upon the right to keep and bear arms.
Sanctuary status for the 2nd Amendment is a grassroots movement that is sweeping the nation; Sheriff Devereaux appears to be the first government official in Oklahoma to join the action in any sort of official way.

The movement began in states like Illinois, where new Democratic leadership embarked on aggressive gun-control campaigns. It spread slowly but surely over the past few years, and with the election of Gov. Ralph Northam and a Democratic majority in Virginia intent on passing major gun-rights restrictions took off like wildfire in Virginia.


States and counties that have passed Second Amendment sanctuary laws or resolutions as of February 3, 2020.

Constitution read on House floor

The U.S. House of Representatives today read - for the very first time - the entire text of the U.S. Constitution, on the House floor. Watch below (to go to the next video, click the link in the lower right corner of the video).



Oklahoma's 5th District Congressman James Lankford read Section 3 of the 25th Amendment.

Overall, there were few instances of the reading being interrupted. A protester shouted "Except Obama! Except Obama!" during the reading of the section requiring the president to be a natural-born citizen. After the reading of the 10th, 13th and 14th Amendments, and upon conclusion of the reading of the Constitution, applause broke out among the congressmembers.
