Sheriffs say “NO!” to Gun Grabbers
County Sheriffs around the nation have vowed to defend gun rights. This comes as liberal Senator Dianne Feinstein introduces new unconstitutional gun regulations that rip the 2nd amendment to shreds. Feinstein’s bill would bring back the assault weapons [scary looking guns] ban that expired in 2004, and restrict magazines that hold more then 10 rounds. The office of Sheriff is the highest elected law enforcement position in the country, and they are held accountable directly by the people. Many in the liberty movement are hopeful that local law enforcement will stand against tyranny, something that many so called “conservative” congressmen are failing to do.
Here is what some of the sheriffs are saying:
Gun control is illegal and it’s against the Constitution. What people don’t realize is that the Second Amendment was designed to protect us from the power of the federal government. – Former Graham County Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack
The US Constitution, Article I, Section 8, is clear what the Federal government should concern themselves in our nation. Gun control is not one of them. The issue of any gun laws should be the individual states. However, in that endeavor, the states are limited by their own constitutions. – Elkhart County Indiana Sheriff Brad Rogers
Any federal regulation enacted by Congress or by executive order of the president offending the constitutional rights of my citizens shall not be enforced by me or my deputies, nor will I permit the enforcement of any unconstitutional regulations or orders by federal officers within the borders of Linn County Oregon. – Linn County Oregon Sheriff Tim Mueller
The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association have put together a list of sheriffs that will stand against gun control.

Over 90 sheriffs and sheriff’s associations are on that list. It is a great start, but we must build on that momentum. Call your sheriff today, and encourage them to take a stand for liberty!
