On July 20, 2022 the Republican Party of Jessamine County (RPJC) held a special meeting to respond to Senator Mitch McConnell's support of the "Bipartisan Safer Communities Act", the gun control package recently passed by Congress. The County's Republican Party voted to officially censure Senator Mitch McConnell for his collaboration with Democrats to weaken the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans.
The censure resolution concluded:
"RESOLVED, that the Republican Party of Jessamine County hereby formally censures Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, calls for his resignation as Senate Republican Leader, and shall cease any and all support of him."
The RPJC believe that the new law represents unconstitutional violations of the 2nd, 5th, and 14th Amendments. It added that it believes the new law is in direct conflict with the official Republican Party platform and cannot comprehend how Senator McConnell could have supported it. The resolution noted:
"Senator Mitch McConnell was the only Republican member of Kentucky's congressional delegation to support this dangerous and unconstitutional gun control."
The resolution notes that over 2/3rds of Senate Republicans opposed the gun control bill as well as over 9/10ths of House Republicans.
The RPJC was most concerned about the promotion of "red flag" laws. The censure stated:
"Red flag laws are a dangerous violation of the Second Amendment and the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment's right to due process."
The Republican Party of Jessamine County will be reaching out to all elected officials and calling upon them to oppose any unconstitutional gun control efforts. The RPJC is also encouraging other Kentucky Republican County parties to join it in holding Senator McConnell accountable for his support of gun control.
