Back to the title. The guy has limited head count and has to prioritize what his employees are doing. I'd say warrants and such are far more up the ladder than 2 people swapping a duck gun in the garage.
This. A sheriff has the discretion on what crimes to pursue and where their resources will be best allocated. If this sheriff doesn't want to enforce this law because he thinks it is a waste of time, there's nothing anyone can do to force him to do so, short of his constituents bringing on a recall election if they are dissatisfied with the results but frankly I doubt that most people living in that area are going to be upset about his stance on this.
Most thinking people realize it is free market policies that is what makes a nation wealthy. Most intelligent people understand that government is a dangerous servant and a tyrannical master.
That's cute. I'm glad you don't let ideology dictate your beliefs.....
I would imagine not enforcing a law would be a reason to be fired, sheriffs aren't above the law despite being locally elected.
It isn't about him refusing to enforce the law ... he's actually obeying the god damned law ... the law he swore an oath to defend. It's called the Constitution.
Furthermore, Sheriffs are the highest law enforcement authority in their particular jurisdiction, and he not only has the right to, but the obligation to protect the rights of the people of his jurisdiction. That's what they elected him to do ... which includes refusal to enforce unlawful laws.
