Number Of Nation's Sheriffs Refusing To Enforce Unconstitutional Gun Laws Snowballs!

From Florida to California, a growing number of the nation's sheriffs are standing up to gun control measures proposed by both the administration and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

Many law enforcement officials have written letters to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden voicing their concerns over what they believe is an effort to infringe upon the Second Amendment.

In New Mexico, 30 of the state's 33 county sheriffs have reminded state lawmakers that they are under oath to support the U.S. Constitution, and that includes the Second Amendment.

CNNNews.com previously reported that 28 of the 29 sheriff's in Utah sent a letter to President Obama stating that they will not enforce any new gun laws they believe to be unconstitutional.

A host of Oregon sheriffs have said that they will not comply with any new unconstitutional gun regulations:

Sheriff Craig Zanni wrote, "I have and will continue to uphold my Oath of Office including supporting the Second Amendment," in a letter to Coos County citizens.
Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said he would refuse to enforce any new Federal gun law he believes is unconstitutional.
In a letter to Vice President Joe Biden, Grant County Sheriff, Glenn Palmer writes: "I will not tolerate nor will I permit any federal incursion within the exterior boundaries of Grant County, Oregon, where any type of gun control legislation aimed at disarming law -abiding citizens is the goal or objective."
Sheriff Gil Gilbertson of Josephine County told Biden in a letter: "Any rule, regulation, or executive order repugnant to the constitutional rights of the citizens of this County will be ignored by this office."
Sheriff Tim Mueller of Linn County, Oregon says his department will not participate in any overreaching and unconstitutional federal firearms restrictions.
In California, Sheriff Adam Christianson of Stanislaus County wrote to the vice president: "I refuse to take firearms from law abiding citizens and will not turn law-abiding citizens into criminals by enforcing useless gun control legislation."

A letter sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein from Sheriff Jon Lopey of Siskiyou County, California states: "Our founding fathers got it right and many politicians are getting it wrong."


In Missouri, Lawrence County Sheriff Brad Delay tells the president: "I will...rise to the defense and aid of all Americans should the federal government attempt to enact any legislation, or executive order that impedes, erodes, or otherwise diminishes their constitutional right to keep and bear arms."

At a town hall meeting, Sheriff Denny Peyman of Jackson County, Kentucky told citizens "you are never going to pull a gun from Jackson County."

Smith County, Texas Sheriff, Larry Smith has said, "I will not enforce an unconstitutional law against any citizen in Smith County. It just won't happen."

In Florida, Martin County Sheriff, Bill Snyder said that he will not enforce federal gun laws: "Local law enforcement authorities are not empowered to enforce Federal law," Snyder said.

I've written short emails to the local guys to commend them on their stand. We need to be vocal in our support of the good ones, just as we need to be vocal about our opposition to new restrictions.

Hey...Don't forget Charleston SC Sherrif Al Cannon. He went on CNN and ripped this anchor a new one.

Interesting, but I really don't see it as him ripping her a new one.

Better erase this post, because this guy is also nutty, he got himself arrested and charged for crime, he is NOT a good advocate for our causes!

I think this guy was well spoken, and cut off the somewhat unprepared host at every angle she attempted. On this subject, he may speak for me. To each his own.

When she said that he was supposed to enforce the laws regardless of his thoughts on them, he should have said, fine, I'll arrest every single illegal alien in my district starting tomorrow. If you propose that I have no discretion in following the laws as written, then I have no choice but to fully enforce that one. I fully expect the U.S. Justice Dept and ICE to fully enforce those laws also as they too, by your measure, have no discretion in following the laws...

// Watch her start gibbering after you say that one... :-)

OH MY!

The Sheriff slapped a handcuffed suspect.

Old Irish Beat Cops would have rang his bell for real.
