Surge Of Sheriff Groups Opposed To Obama Gun Control Rises To 10

[bripat9643]

In less than four weeks since President Obama proposed sweeping new gun control laws and a ban on assault-style weapons, the backlash from law enforcement groups that strongly support the Second Amendment has surged and now there are 11 state sheriffs associations opposed to the president.

The Illinois and Montana Sheriffs Associations became the last to join the growing crowd of police opposed to Obama, arguing this week that the president and state legislatures should instead be focused on mental health, not gun hardware.

"Sheriffs from across the state of Illinois believe that it is their responsibility and duty to uphold the Constitution including the Second Amendment. Rational law abiding citizens are not the cause of random acts of horrific violence in our communities. The focus should be primarily on the lack of mental health services in our country," the group just announced.

Their opposition is partisan, having nothing to do with Second Amendment rights. And the sheriffs’ statements alone indicate their failure to uphold the Constitution, and a violation of their oath.

Surge? Just the usual gun nut suspects...

 

[Old Rocks]

Most just extremely rural rednecks playing to the same.

They took an oath to uphold the Constitution and the second amendment is part of the Constitution. Obama is the one who has failed to honor the oath HE took.

So...all of the Sheriff's Associations are controlled by Republicans? Get serious! It's not a partisan issue. It's a Constitutional issue. Obama and his ilk that would disarm us do not seem to understand that it is the 2nd Amendment that keeps his Marxism-driven ass from doing so. It is those grass roots, hard working progeny of patriotic Americans that believe Thomas Jefferson understood the danger of being disarmed by your own government that make up the majority of our law officers today...especially when it comes to rural sheriffs that grew up outside of the asylums we call cities today.

Those that have perused the history of the United States and the struggle endured to obtain and project our freedom from government oppression (that WAS by the way, EXACTLY what we fought and died to rid ourselves of) can easily understand the importance of the rights we have under a fully protected 2nd Amendment....something that Obozo swore to do in each of his coronations.


Thank God for country Sheriff's and their Posses!! Let's go to a Turkey Shoot!

I'm sure you can provide FACTS of this "partisanship"?

Eleven state sheriffs, eh? Oooooh, that's a powerful movement going on there, I tell ya what now...

Oh, did ya hear about the mayors' group?

About 700 members of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign signed a letter in December, shortly after the Newtown, Conn. school shootings, calling for stricter gun control nationwide.

So you are trying to make your gun control argument by comparing STATE Sheriff's Associations (of which there are only 50) with the mayors of 700 towns (of which there are THOUSANDS)?

Here's your sign.........

The new lady Sheriff might ask me tuh join her posse!!!

The idea of majority rule just doesn't sit well at all with the far right, does it.

It is partisan, genius. They believe in the Second Amendment. Obama believes in trouncing our rights.

Yea, because oaths mean so much to dishonest people.

Of course he can. They oppose gun control and support the 2nd Amendment, so they are obviously "partisan."

Partisan - not liberal.

Does the idea of the Bill of Rights being up for a vote sit well with you?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Most just extremely rural rednecks playing to the same.

Why is it that when someone opposes gun control you guys immediately scream REDNECK?
The sheriff knows they cant protect everyone. Seems like common sense to me.

You are just NOW realizing that Shitting Bull is an idiot, dude?!

I agree that there is something behind this. Did the Sheriffs believe in the 2nd Amendment less, back in '94 when the original ban on assault style weapons went into effect? Where was the hew and cry then? Where was the surge of sheriff groups mounting an opposition?

Why now, I ask? Certainly they couldn't have approved of it when Clinton did it. A Liberal Democrat trying to take decent citizen's guns away.

Well damn, maybe it's because this time we've got a Black man in office. And that there makes all the difference.

And yeah, I pulled out the race card. Sue me.

Yeah, it couldn't be because we have a marxist gun-grabbing commie in the White House who has made it abundantly clear that he has NO intention of honoring his Oath of Office unless it is convenient to further promoting his agenda. Nah, couldn't be that. But a racist like you will never understand that.
