I've been sad to see how many people are willing to swallow this "constitutional sheriff" swill basically unexamined, calling it "baby steps," and a "step in the right direction"... as if mere rhetoric indicated any change in their character. <br /><br />And yes, I read Grigg every time.

The indispensable William N. Grigg considers the case of the 'refusenik' sheriff, who promises white horse and hat on gun rights...but who practices daily violations of precisely the same principle when the same Feds dangle the purse strings in the name of the War on (Some) Drugs.<br /><br />You really think they'll refuse it all, rather than find an excuse to sell you out when the screws tighten? Dependency--addiction, if you will--is a powerful motivator, and this dependency has been carefully cultivated for more than a generation now; many in the business know nothing else. Do you doubt that those who truly might refuse, will be quickly replaced by those who will not? Tyranny does not lack for faithful soldiers.<br /><br />Take a look at that drug war, if you want to see how expanded gun control will work in practice.Kevin Wilmethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368887768008126052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988046816576439468.post-9798185059322703362013-01-31T10:27:46.166-08:002013-01-31T10:27:46.166-08:00Indeed... and the time is coming fast when we will...Indeed... and the time is coming fast when we will need to know as clearly as possible just who our friends really are... and who are not. <br /><br />A very thought provoking essay. Just SAYING they are oathkeepers and<br />will not enforce the fed "laws" won't be enough. They need to start that<br />NOW, with every other bogus mala prohibita "law" on the books.<br />Otherwise, their claims are pure hogwash. They are already, and have<br />always enforced "unconstitutional" laws. <br /><br />A Suggestion to OathKeepers<br />https://mountainguerrilla.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/a-suggestion-to-oathkeepers/<br />January 31, 2013<br /><br />There’s been a lot of news lately about County Sheriffs’ publicly<br />stating that they will not enforce unconstitutional gun restrictions.<br />Someone reported hearing a cop in an elevator at SHOT show tell another<br />cop that he’d shoot his lieutenant in the head if he ordered him to<br />“confiscate” guns.<br /><br />Here’s a suggestion to LEOs who consider themselves Oathkeepers. You<br />fellas need to figure out a way, NOW, to identify yourselves as “good<br />guys.” Telling your buddies in the squad room that you’ll “do the right<br />thing,” or posting a fucking letter on the internet, or surreptitiously<br />posting it, under a screen name online is great. It’s going to be far<br />more important that you figure out a way, NOW, to let the rest of us<br />know, when you pull us over, on the side of the two-lane blacktop, at<br />0-dark-30, that you’re on our side.MamaLibertyhttp://www.thepriceofliberty.orgnoreply@blogger.com
