[A county in New Mexico has become a Second Amendment sanctuary where county authorities can choose not to enforce new gun control laws meant to tighten background checks.]

This is the future - rural resistance to urban tyranny. The county sheriffs are predominantly who enforce state laws. If the counties and county sheriffs refuse, the law is largely nullified. As the population density increases, the more the people vote left collectivist. As urban tyranny increases, the only hope rural people will have is to not enforce urbanist leftist laws. The people of Albuquerque are trying to impose their will upon the rest of the state, in this case.

Prepare yourself, your children and grandchildren. If the population density increases enough, rural people will need to resist and separate themselves from urban tyranny. Make sure your county political institutions - county governments, courts, judges, district attorneys, and sheriffs - are willing to resist and separate the county from urban oppression. Also make sure your local school board offers a Constitutional education, including marksmanship and JROTC.

A civil war may be coming within this century. It'll be urban vs. rural. Prepare yourself and your family for it. The urban needs the rural more than the rural needs the urban - think food, water, fuel, electricity.
