As much as I want to, I don't know if I should respond to all the anti-gun nuts in our local paper.... They are ripping the sheriff up for saying he won't enforce unconstitutional executive orders or laws...

As much as I disagree with some of the Sheriffs ideas, These nuts are off the deep end..

The local paper is pasted with them all calling for his impeachment, and saying if the president says it's a constitutional executive order the sheriff must follow it.

Not one of them has an understanding of the Constitution and that includes the Parers resident op ed writer...

Not one understands that if the Sheriff was to enforce an unconstitutional law he could be tried later for that..He couldn't use the "I was just following orders" response...

They haven't a clue that it is up to the individual soldier and sheriff to decide in his mind whether the order he was given is lawful...

Yea, that's a rock or a hard place..But that's how it is ....

You have to decide, and pray you were right when the courts decide...You can't enforce it and violate someones rights and later say oh well, I guess that was unconstitutional..Sorry I shot your son when he resisted...

You'll face your own trial then...

None of them get that executive orders are orders for Federal agencies. and not for local or state agencies.

Not one of them understands, that not only would an executive order to confiscate weapons be unconstitutional because it violated the second amendment, But so would any law that violates it....

They have been brain washed by years of submitting to unlawful orders, that they don't get you have the right to resist...
