'Second Amendment Sanctuary' order invalid, argues Oregon AG
May 27 2021
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum says Columbia County's Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance should be declared invalid.
Oregon's attorney general and a group of Columbia County residents are getting involved in the ongoing legal proceedings over the county's Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance.
Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, through senior assistant attorney general Brian Simmonds Marshall, filed a document in the case, requesting that the ordinance be declared invalid.
Rosenblum wrote that the county ordinance and the two ballot measures it was based on "conflict with and are incompatible with the state's criminal laws … the duties of the Columbia County sheriff, the duties of the Columbia County district attorney, and the duties of other offers and departments of Columbia County."
