The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly on Monday will consider a resolution opposing unconstitutional infringement of the rights of borough citizens under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, and urging the Governor and Legislature of the State of Alaska to oppose broad restrictions on the rights of citizens to bear arms.
Borough Mayor Rodney Dial wrote the resolution, which was co-sponsored by Assembly Member Jeremy Bynum.
Borough Attorney Glenn Brown reviewed the resolution before it was put on the agenda, though Dial and Brown both emphasized that he was not involved in drafting the resolution.
Motivation
Dial said the resolution was prompted by a series of recent actions taken by President Joe Biden to address gun violence that may infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms, he wrote in the sponsor statement for the resolution.

SALT LAKE CITY While President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats look for ways to tighten federal gun laws in the wake of several mass shootings across the country, a group of Republicans, led by Utah Sen. Mike Lee, wants to undo regulations on an accessory known as a silencer.
Lee said the steps needed to buy a silencer or suppressor amount to gun control. The current, oppressive process required to buy silencers only hurts the eardrums of millions of hunters, sportsmen and marksmen each year, and serves to provide surreptitious gun control, he said in a statement.
Lee said his bill, the Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing Act, would eliminate the onerous regulation to make a legal sport safer for millions of Americans. Sens. Ted Cruz, of Texas, and John Cornyn, of Texas, are co-sponsoring the legislation, and Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., introduced a companion bill in the House.
