^^This is the Dog Face Pony Soldier who has ordered the disarming of New Mexican citizens.^^

While murders and beheadings rage along her state's border with Mexico.

I think you have to be consistent.

Either we say, okay sherrifs, you MUST enforce the gun law...but then they also must enforce the immigration laws.

Or do the opposite. Sheriffs, you have discretion, wanna look the other way on that gun stuff, go ahead. Think the immigration laws shouldnt be enforced, and think sanctuary cities are okay, well, alrighty then feel free not to enforce the immigration laws.

and she urged sheriffs to resign if they still refuse to enforce it.

Why won't she just fire them?

Oh. She won't because she can't.

They are the ones who let the 'rule of law' genie out of the bottle.

Or, you know, the third option: the sheriffs ignore the blatantly unconstitutional shite and just do their jobs otherwise.

This isn’t “Let’s Make a Deal”.

You're drawing an equivalence, where none really exists. Here, let me help you:

2. A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

4. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.

6. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

7. In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of the common law.


I included the 6th and 7th, depending on how the state considers the action. Either way they violate the bolded.

Now you do immigration laws.

one of the under reported big problems with this new law is if a citizen brings a complaint, the sherriff refuses to act and the person who was identified in the complaint actually shoots someone the sherrif is not only professionally liable but personally liable and can be sued. this is a massive shift against the sherriffs.

The issue is not that sheriffs are selectively choosing which laws they want to enforce based on a personal choice or whim. It’s that they believe the red flag laws are unconstitutional and don’t want to violate their oaths of office. Immigration laws generally aren’t unconstitutional.

I don't think there are many sheriffs out there who are just going to blow off a citizens plea for help. I think most sheriffs would call on the person in question, to make their own assessment. Just because they aren't going with the intention of confiscating weapons, doesn't mean they aren't going at all.

Not only that but start enforcing immigration laws and ignoring sanctuary cities

Pandemic...economic collapse...anarchy...take guns from good folk.

Gal had better wake up and get real. High Ups hide behind the Law...but the Law only has power on those who respect it. Like that Gangsta Character in "Grand Canyon" said to the Danny Glover Character..."no gun, no respect".

A gun means the difference between life and death. Or worse, than mere death. The day is close when any 'Authority' that tries to confiscate guns...will become (perceived) legitimate targets by folk who employ guns to protect family and friends. The'd best drop this crap.

I don't know about NM but here in Louisiana only one person has more power than the Sheriff of each parish and it isn't the governor.

And they are perfectly justified, as long as it is on a Constitutional basis.

“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” (Marbury vs.Madison, 1803.)
