Under an onslaught of written opposition, the Albany City Council Wednesday night put off consideration of a resolution expressing support for citizens’ constitutionally protected right to bear arms.
Not that it’s a big surprise, but the three Linn County commissioners have gone on record supporting the right of law-abiding people to keep and bear arms as the Second Amendment guarantees. Commissioners Roger Nyquist, John Lindsey and Will Tucker signed a resolution to that effect on Tuesday.
Two council items: gun rights and election
It was a coincidence that didn’t mean anything. But the fact is that both the Second Amendment and the subject of potential election-related violence came up at the tail end of the Albany City Council’s meeting Monday night.
