Police officer to Virginia politicians: We took an oath, and real cops won’t confiscate firearms.

[Bob Blaylock]

Any cop that does not enforce the law..as written...should be fired..simple as that. BTW..I do not support the Virginia statute. But as long as it is the law....it needs to be enforced. Not like the law..change it..or move the fuck outta the state.

The Second Amendment is the law. As part of the Constitution, it is the highest law in the nation, taking precedence over all lesser laws, and all lesser acts of government.

Any cop, or any other public servant who, having explicitly taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, refuses obey it, should be fired, and thereafter be banned from life from ever holding any position in government.

Don't like that law? Start the process of amending the Constitution to overturn the Second Amendment. Good luck with that.

In light of all the 2nd Amendment debate and the debacle that is Virginia and its governor (who I don’t respect enough to even know his name) spouting off about “If we have constitutional laws…” blah, blah, blah. Listen up.

I work in civilian law enforcement. I am also a veteran.

I work with many veterans, some of whom still serve in the reserves or National Guard. In both oaths, military and civilian, we all swore to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States.

We did not swear to obey a tyrant or dictator.

I’ve been in law enforcement for over 21 years. In all that time I have met not one law enforcement officer who was anti-gun. Oh, I know they exist, but they are not being intellectually honest.

You see, law enforcement officers everywhere KNOW that guns save lives.

Guns prevent crime.

Guns stop attacks.

Guns even the odds between the criminal and his would-be victim.

Guns stop stalkers when a piece of paper doesn’t. (Shout out to my dear friend Ann who shot and killed her estranged husband when came to attack again.)

Real cops, not politicians, KNOW that more honest gun owners mean less crime.

If there is anyone wearing a badge that disagrees with this they are a liar- statistics prove this time and again. Literally every state that loosens gun carry restrictions nearly immediately sees a drop in violent crime.

When I am on patrol, I take time to reach out and thank civilians for exercising their 2A rights- yes, even the open carriers. I have detained or arrested thousands of people.

Not one legal carrier has ever threatened me or my partners.

I even joke about one particular restaurant in my town where veterans meet for breakfast. I say if anything ever pops off in here we are all going to die in the crossfire!

The populace has so many guns they cannot be counted. They couldn’t be confiscated even if the government threw every available resource at it."

From your (belated) link:

Democrat Delegate Lee Carter of Manassas sponsored HB 67, which would apply to any law enforcement official, noting that those who “willfully refuses to perform the duties of his employment,” will be terminated and ineligible for future law enforcement employment for another year.

The bill was filed just days after Gov. Ralph Northam warned against the more than 100 counties and municipalities that already adopted Second Amendment or Constitutional sanctuary resolutions.

The police do NOT have to follow an illegal order.

Every public servant, including cops, is sworn, before anything else, to uphold and defend the Constitution. Any who had willing part in enforcing blatantly unconstitutional acts to violate the people's right to keep and bear arms, as affirmed both in the federal Constitution, as well as in Virginia's own state constitution, would be the ones against whom this act, as written would end up applying.

The indisputable fact remains that it is Virginia's governor, and its corrupt legislator, who are threatening to act illegally, by enacting legislation which blatantly violates both the state Constitution, and the federal Constitution; and then by trying to demand that the state's law-enforcement officers act illegally in attempting to enforce these illegal laws.

Wrong.

The Constitution exists solely in the context of its case law, as determined by the Supreme Court – including the Second Amendment.

Any law enacted consistent with Second Amendment jurisprudence is perfectly valid, Constitutional, and enforceable.

The Supreme Court has never ruled on the constitutionality of AWBs – however wrongheaded and misguided those measures might be, they are nonetheless Constitutional and in no manner ‘violate’ the Second Amendment; laws are presumed to be Constitutional until the Supreme Court rules otherwise.

Consequently, it’s incumbent upon Virginia law enforcement the follow all state laws and measures, regardless of their subjective opinion of the merits of those laws and measures.

And all public servants, including law-enforcement officers, are sworn, above all else, to uphold and defend the Constitution.

For some..for some...I have my Dad's--made in 1943...when he passed, I inherited..paid the fees...and own the permit. In an interesting side-note...I got a visit from the ATF around 2000 or so..they suspected that the gun had been issued to my Father in the Military during WWII and wanted it back. Lucky for me..he bought it in the 1950's..and had kept all the paperwork. Is a lot of paperwork for the permit...but it was not so bad in 1981..when I inherited it.

Your title is a lie.

They are enforcing the law, asshole, the second amendment is part of the constitution and the supreme law of the land. It's the anti gun assholes who are breaking the law. Every gun law in this nation is unconstitutional so is therefore illegal and un enforceable. No one needs anyone to interpret the 2nd because it is so brief, clear and plainly stated. Hell it's only one single sentence and easy for anyone but a halfwit to commit to memory.
