Sheriff says his plan for gun laws he dislikes is to not enforce them

[blacken700]

A sheriff in Colorado has given the state's new gun control laws a metaphorical middle finger, declaring he and his office will simply not enforce them. Weld County Sheriff John Cooke said the new legislation, which puts a 15-round limit on ammo magazines and expands background checks, gives people a false sense of security. One new bill passed Friday and is expected to be signed by the governor within two weeks, but Cooke says the bills are "feel-good, knee-jerk" reactions to recent tragedies like the Aurora shooting. So he "won’t bother enforcing" them, he added, noting he and other sheriffs are considering a lawsuit.

The Federal Government chooses not to enforce existing immigration laws and actually takes states to court if they try to enforce them themselves,so this stuff doesn't shock me at all.

He cannot enforce Unconstitutional laws.  He took an oath

The politicians behind this are going to be recalled.

Are you serious?

Obviously the 2nd amendment says "Shall not be Infringed".

Also... There have been judicial precedence stating that the citizens are allowed to own the same guns that the militia can carry.

The Sheriff is following his constitutionally directed orders.

He is 100 percent correct.

How do you not see this?

The court's opinion provides another essential ruling. The Second Amendment is not without limits. The opinion written by Justice Antinon Scalia and joined by justices Roberts, Thomas, Kennedy and Alito, the conservatives of the court, laid out limits.

Their lengthy opinion clearly states that "nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firarms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”

Ok... So what's your point?

Officer discretion is always valid.

[blacken700]

The police are a constituted body of persons empowered by the state to enforce the law

Just like illegal immigration right?

again another stupid comment that has nothing to do with the topic         the stupid party   

[tu_holmes]

But a Sheriff is not... He is an elected official empowered by the people.

They are not the same.

Ehhh...lol.  Discretion is one of those gray areas if you know what I mean.

STFU.

STFU.

When it comes to Gun Control, I believe the Dems are in the minority in their position.
