GROWING LIST OF SHERIFFS SAYING ‘NO’ TO OBAMA GUN CONTROL- No Sheriff Arpaio yet?

Obama State Ballot Challenge

Excerpt:

We still have some “Obama” ballot challenges and election challenges pending, as regular readers know. So far, the courts and Congress have chosen not to forthrightly address these.

As a result, we are left with the toxic effect of the usurper “Obama’s” policies and practices, such as a major attempt at erasing the Second Amendment currently underway, via legislation, regulation, executive orders and treaties. Don’t be fooled when the usurper assures you he isn’t going to take your gun. He is blatantly and publicly trying to take away rights for entire classes of firearms and people to own them. He and his allies, such as Dianne Feinstein, Eric Holder, Mario Cuomo, Ed Koch, Chuck Schumer and many other Constitution-hating “Progressives” have already made it clear they want all private guns. We will sometimes be addressing the effects of having the usurper remain unconstitutionally in office, to help motivate people to have him removed. It is much easier to address the causes of problems rather than firefighting the numerous adverse effects (Cloward-Piven), but we have no alternative at present.

Below is a list of Sheriffs who have so far stood up to be counted on fighting the attacks on the 2nd Amendment- 90 and more on the way. If you think about it, these are very brave men, standing up to Obama and the Globalist Gun-Grabbers, risking their positions. We MUST stand with them …..

From http://cspoa.org/sheriffs-gun-rights (we encourage you to support them) ….


Sheriffs have risen up all over our great nation to stand up against the unconstitutional gun control measures being taken.

The following is a list of sheriffs and state sheriff’s associations from who have vowed to uphold and defend the Constitution against Obama’s unlawful gun control measures. I applaud these public servants for their courage and conviction.

I would encourage other Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers to add their voices to the growing numbers of faithful protectors of our freedom.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: I'm not confiscating guns

'I don't care what they say from Washington'

Excerpt:

Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio told a local radio host that the federal government is “going to have problem” if they expect him to confiscate guns from private citizens.

“I took [multiple] oaths of office, and they all say I will defend the Constitution of the United States,” Arpaio told Mike Broomhead of KFYI Radio in Phoenix, Ariz. “Now if they’re going to tell the sheriff that he’s going to go around picking up guns from everybody, they’re going to have a problem. I may not enforce that federal law.”

Broomhead pushed the man sometimes called “America’s toughest sheriff” even further, asking Arpaio if the feds passed a law banning ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, would his deputies confiscate such magazines?

“No,” Arpaio said. “My deputies, I said before, I’m going to arm all my deputies – a month ago I said before this – with automatic weapons and semi-automatic weapons. We’re going to be able to fight back. … I don’t care what they say from Washington.”

Arpaio expressed a certain camaraderie with many other sheriffs around the country who have similarly warned they will not enforce what they believe to be infringements on the citizens’ 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.

Some of the strongest language to that effect has come from Utah, where 28 of the state’s 29 elected sheriffs signed a letter to President Obama warning him not to send federal agents to start confiscating guns.

“[M]ake no mistake,” the sheriffs wrote, “as the duly-elected sheriffs of our respective counties, we will enforce the rights guaranteed to our citizens by the Constitution. No federal official will be permitted to descend upon our constituents and take from them what the Bill of Rights – in particular Amendment II – has given them.

“We, like you swore a solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” the sheriffs concluded, “and we are prepared to trade our lives for the preservation of its traditional interpretation.”
