NC: Editorial: Council right to keep guns out of Village Hall, Village Yard

 

 GRNC staff, board and volunteers with Tommy Shaw from Styx for a fundraiser.

We are sure the Clemmons Village Council has not heard the last from the pro-Second Amendment group Grass Roots North Carolina after the council voted last week to keep a ban on weapons on village-owned property.

We were encouraged to see council members — on a vote of 4-1 — stand up to the nonprofit group that advocates for the rights of gun owners. It’s their town, after all. A representative of the gun group spoke to the council before its vote, arguing against the gun-free zone as a violation of new state law and an abridgement of freedom, Journal West’s Lisa O’Donnell reported.

 

Grass Roots North Carolina, which counts among its members new Clemmons Council Member Bill Lawry, has a logo on its website picturing a vicious-looking dog with what appears to be a copy of the U.S. Constitution in its snarling teeth.
