Affirming Belief in Constitution is News?

There is something rather odd here at WECT:

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – The Brunswick County Board of Commissioners plans to “reaffirm” their beliefs and support of the Constitution and laws of the United States and North Carolina.

According to commissioners, a number of emails were sent to the board regarding the recent debate on gun control.

Local citizens have been asking where their elected leaders stand on the issue.

In response to these emails, commissioners will swear that they will support and maintain the Constitution and laws of the United States.

Isn’t it just a bit odd that local AMERICAN elected officials are having to publicly say they will support and maintain the constitution when they’re oath of office already affirms it?

I don’t know exactly, but there’s something here that paints a much darker picture of the rest of NC or the country if this is actually a story.
