Well, then they shouldn't complain if they get shot by some maniac with a gun that should never have had one.
It's still illegal to shoot someone, except in very specific circumstances. Plus, it's not like people who are likely to shoot police officers are buying legally.
Democrats are saying to not only have their states and cities not enforce federal law, but to actively not cooperate with federal law enforcement officials.
It is a road to anarchy. It is John C. Calhoun all over again.
According to the above, it is actually up to 16 sheriffs now, but I can't confirm that. The number 13 has been widely reported.
Last November, voters passed some much needed commonsense gun legislation. Among other things, it put certain restrictions on the sale of assault weapons, and required that all guns be unloaded and locked in a safe when not in use. Failure to do so will be a felony, when the law kicks in on July 1.
This is why I warned fellow liberals when the issue of 'sanctuary cities' emerged. Sure enough, now it looks like we're going to have 'sanctuary counties' for assault-style weapons. We do have an excellent state Attorney General who has warned the sheriffs that they need to enforce the new law, but the sheriffs seem undeterred.
So County Sheriffs can pick and chose what laws they will enforce as long as they believe in those laws??? You got way bigger problems then gun control Jr.
the difference is that Sanctuary cites operate entirely within the law. These sheriffs on the other hand are actually refusing to do their jobs which is enforcement.
"the difference is that Sanctuary cites operate entirely within the law."
Pleas list the sanctuary cites where the mayor does NOT take an oath of office which states, "Will faithfully support and defend the Constitution of the United States or something like that.

NOPE a total LACK of common sense. if fact it is just the OPPOSITE!
What good does it do to have a gun for protection if it IS LOCKED and UNLOADED in a safe when the armed bad guys break into your house at 3AM and you are in the dark, and don't DARE turn on a light and let them know you are awake which might alarm them?
How are you going to find the keys in the dark?
How are you going to open the safe in the dark?
How are you going to the RIGHT gun IN THE DARK?
How are yo going find the RIGHT ammo IN SAFE IN THE DARK?
How are you going LOAD the gun IN THE DARK?
ALL the while the bad guys are coming down your hallway only a few steps away and you are a nervous wreck!
Is your kids bedroom BEFORE yours?
This a perfect example why we CANNOT have "reasonable common sense" discussion with ant-gunners.
Local LE was never mandated to enforce federal laws, so that is not new. As of today, none of the States which legalized pot enforce federal laws.
However, that was not the question at hand. The thread is about sheriffs enforcing local laws.
"The thread is about sheriffs enforcing local laws'
And what do the sheriffs do when the LOCAL law usurps the FEDERAL law when ALL officer's took an oath to "Faithfully support and defend the Continuation of the UNITED STATES"?
2nd amendment, "The RIGHT of the PEOPLE to KEEP and BEAR arms shall NOT be infringed"

It is NOT -- and never has been -- the Sheriff's job to decide the constitutionality of a law. That's the job of the courts.
Any county sheriff that refuses to enforce a law should be dismissed from office for shirking their duty. Period.
