Sheriff John Cooke from Weld County, Colorado, a true American patriot, says he and his deputies have not enforced the gun control laws passed in March and they will not enforce those laws.
Sheriffs are borne of the constitution, all other police officers are borne of the legislative process. This is why we are seeing a growing number of sheriffs that reject the new, unconstitutional gun control laws sweeping our country.
Sheriff Cooke, Americans thank you for your patriotic service to your state and your country!
Before the laws were passed Cooke said he would not enforce them, and since their passage he has made good on his promise.
According to The New York Times, Cooke explains his position by pointing to the myriad ambiguities and gray areas in the new laws.
For example, at a recent press conference Cooke held up two 30-round magazines, one of which was possessed before the new ban went into effect on July 1st and the other was purchased afterward–“maybe.” He then “[shuffled] the magazines, which look identical, and asked the audience to tell the difference.”
As the audience sat unable to comply, Cooke asked: “How is a deputy or an officer supposed to know which is which?”
Cooke is joined by other sheriffs both in his own state and around the country who refuse to enforce new gun control laws passed this year.
Siskiyou, California Sheriff Jon Lopey was part of a delegation of CA sheriffs who met with Governor Jerry Brown to ask him to veto gun control laws in October. Brown vetoed some, but signed others. A ban on lead ammunition, an expansion of the criminal storage law, and a ban on “conversion kits” for ammunition magazines were among the laws Brown signed.
Lopey says: “Our way of life means nothing to these politicians.” Likewise, he said, gun control does not mean that much to him and its enforcement is “not a priority.”
Good Men
after the war, we need to leave DC in ruins as a lesson to future generations, freedom and a central form of government are oxymoron’s..
Brave patriots!!
Sheriff’s are also elected not appointed, they can be re-called but not fired. They are the final and highest LEO in their county that is above and beyond state and federal. More should conduct themselves as this man does. Good job.
thank God there are a few red blooded american patriots left
The sheriff is under the constitution and the county sheriff has jurisdiction in any town or city in his county. The town policeperson falls under equity law and ONLY has LEGAL authority within his town lines. They can’t give tickets or arrest people outside their jurisdiction, no matter whatever agreement they have with others. They have NO AUTHORITY. The police started as a private enforcement tool of local business people who at a later date were able to get the town leaders to take over paying them. What did the politicians receive in return, I wonder. Its true, look it up.
Another tidbit. Most motor vehicle laws were pushed through by insurance company’s. This is all the way back to the age of the beginning of cars. These laws were pushed through to benefit the insurance company’s and not people. Saved them money. Think about it along with most laws past. They are to benefit some company with the pretense it only makes it better for the public.
Thank Almighty God for these brave and Courageous Sheriffs here in Colorado.. This is AWESOME news anytime.. May God bless them for defending the US Constitution and the basis on what our nation was founded upon… They see the BIGGER Picture of this whole issue which is unfortunately sweeping this nation.. It started in the White House and with our Socialist/Muslim President — Barrack H. Obama… Why am I SO passionate on this posting on Facebook?
