Another reason to love Arkansas

During the Arkansas Sheriffs' Association Winter Conference, it was voted and agreed upon by the body of Sheriffs to take the following stance regarding the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment Rights of our citizens. This resolution has been posted on the ASA website and is now being distributed to the media.

"The Arkansas Sheriffs' Association supports the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment Rights of our citizens. We recognize the recent increase in violence and mass shootings have raised questions relating to the sale and possession of firearms. The Arkansas Sheriffs' Association further believes that we must hold offenders responsible, not the law abiding citizens."

"The Arkansas Sheriffs' Association does support enforcement of the existing gun laws and the strengthening of current background checks, including identifying individuals with mental health issues. The Arkansas Sheriff's Association does not support legislation that restricts current gun possession and current gun sales to our citizens that weakens our 2nd Amendment Rights."
