What is a Second Amendment Sanctuary County?

Chad Booth sits down with Bill Stringer, Uintah County Commissioner, to discuss the recent second amendment sanctuary ordinance passed in Uintah County.

Gun Control Bills in the Virginia Legislature have sparked a number of counties and municipalities adopting ordinances that challenge state laws that are not consistent with the second amendment.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/virginia-2nd-amendment-sanctuaries-gun-laws-spur-talk/story?id=69337337

Counties in Utah are hoping to be proactive in adopting sanctuary status rather than waiting until a situation arises similar to what counties in Virginia are experiencing. This show looks at some of the issues counties are considering as they draft their own ordinances.

The Bureau of Land Management is taking comments from the public as they begin the process of identifying improvements that could be made to the administration of grazing regulations on public lands. Comments need to be received by March, 6 2020 and can be made to the BLM here: http://go.usa.gov/xyMQB

Chad Booth talks to several representatives from Utah about how big a deal this recent announcement is to ranchers on public lands. There have been attempts in the past to modify grazing regulations but for the most part nothing substantial has changed since the Rangeland Reforms made in 1995 by Secretary Babbit.
https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-02-22/pdf/95-3866.pdf#page=76

Highlights:
• Past attempts to make changes to the regulations created y Babbit in 1995.
• The need for flexibility for ranchers where conditions on the ground change quickly but getting solutions from the BLM can take years.
• This is an important opportunity for ranchers to make their comments to the BLM so their issues can be heard during the scoping period.
