Georgia 2nd Amendment sanctuary movement

WSB radio (95.5 FM and 750 AM in Atlanta) had this story leading the news every hour all day yesterday-- that Gilmer (or was it Pickens?) County had just passed a "2nd Amendment Sanctuary County" resolution, part of a "growing movement" across the state, and across the country, as a response to gun restrictions being passed in Virginia.

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW is what the text of such resolutions actually SAY.

Do they draw a clear line in the sand, and say semi-auto guns that hold more than 10 rounds are the CORE of the Second Amendment, the modern muskets of our generation, and are fully covered by the Second Amendment, and we in this county will refuse, and resist, any federal or state law that restricts our citizens access to such weapons?

Or do such "sanctuary resolutions" have the same wording as other wishy-washy feel-good, DO-NOTHING resolutions such as declaring a certain flower the "official flower" of the county, or honoring a certain retiring school principal for her long career in education, or declaring that this county is "concerned with" nuclear war and "urges our national representatives" to pursue a treaty with the Russians?

The devil is in the details.
Some 2A Resolutions might be good, and others might not be worth the paper they're printed on.
The latter kind could actually be BAD FOR gun rights, because it steals away our energy and attention from far more important aspects of gun rights. It distracts us and leads us down a road to nowhere (other than a big circle-jerk where we can all give ourselves a hand for how we "won" this battle for gun rights by getting our County Commissioners to sign a meaningless piece of paper, which they agreed to do just to shut us up and move on, without really meaning any of what they just put their names on.)

This resolutions should be a matter of public record. Let us know what your research turns up.
