Here again, another Sheriff who dares to tell the truth and dares to fly in the face of the current Autarchy in DC.
Milwaukee County Sheriff (WI) David Clarke says: “You have a duty to protect yourself and your family. We’re partners now. Can I count on you?”
This, of course, is making the heads of Leftists literally explode.

From CNSNews.com:
From Florida to California, a growing number of the nation’s sheriffs are standing up to gun control measures proposed by both the administration and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
Many law enforcement officials have written letters to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden voicing their concerns over what they believe is an effort to infringe upon the Second Amendment.
Wait one moment.
Why are various SHERIFFS across the nation objecting to proposed 2nd Amendment limitations — and not a host of individual POLICE departments?
I will state the obvious reason: because, in general, Sheriffs across the nation are ELECTED and not appointed. Sheriff’s do not have to answer to a smaller and more immediate and political city council — as are Chiefs of Police. Simply: it is a matter of Political Correctness and its influence or lack thereof.
In New Mexico, 30 of the state’s 33 county sheriffs have reminded state lawmakers that they are under oath to support the U.S. Constitution, and that includes the Second Amendment.
CNSNews.com previously reported that 28 of the 29 sheriff’s in Utah sent a letter to President Obama stating that they will not enforce any new gun laws they believe to be unconstitutional.
A host of Oregon sheriffs have said that they will not comply with any new unconstitutional gun regulations:
And apparently those are law enforcement officers who don’t answer to a Leftist council or board of supervisors. Imagine that. An entirely different political paradigm — as in: highly-clotted and congested areas — vs lesser congested areas.
High population centers beholden to the Fed and DC vs lesser population areas encompassing more agrarian areas depending more upon themselves and less upon the Fed.
Frankly: simple as that.
If you suck cock and wear knee-pads for federal cash, you will be beholden to DC.
If you couldn’t care less about federal grants and won’t prostrate yourself to DC, you are simply independent.
And “independent” is anathema to Leftists, Progressives, Socialists, Demorats and Liberals.
Even in Fornicalia, my state, some Sheriffs are taking a stand:
In California, Sheriff Adam Christianson of Stanislaus County wrote to the vice president: “I refuse to take firearms from law abiding citizens and will not turn law-abiding citizens into criminals by enforcing useless gun control legislation.”
A letter sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein from Sheriff Jon Lopey of Siskiyou County, California states: “Our founding fathers got it right and many politicians are getting it wrong.”
When you’re a whore for DC and/or their cash, you’ll only regret it in the end.
Because that’s how you’ll get it.

From TheHill.com:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and a group of Senate Democrats on Thursday introduced legislation to ban the sale and manufacture of more than 150 types of semi-automatic weapons with military-style features.
Feinstein’s bill will expand the criteria for classifying military-style assault weapons from a 1994 law, which lapsed a decade later. Her new measure will ban the sale of about 150 types of firearms, including some rifles and handguns, as well as the sale of high-capacity magazines, according to USA Today.
The bill will exempt firearms used for hunting and will grandfather in guns and magazines owned before the law’s potential enactment. However, the grandfathered weapons will be logged in a national registry.
Unlike the 1994 assault-weapons ban, there is no sunset provision in Feinstein’s newest gun-control bill.
What are the details? To begin:
The bill would ban the sale, transfer, manufacture and import of all semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can accept detachable magazines and have at least one military feature.
It would also ban semi-automatic rifles and handguns that have fixed magazines capable of carrying more than 10 rounds and all semi-automatic shotguns that have folding or detachable stocks, pistol grips, forward grips, or fixed magazines with room for more than five rounds.
It includes a grandfather clause that would exempt assault weapons “lawfully possessed” on the date of enactment. Background checks would be required prior to the sale or transfer of weapons exempted under the clause.
From TheDailyCaller.com:
WASHINGTON — California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein staged a dramatic press conference Thursday on Capitol Hill with 10 weapons at her side and unveiled legislation instituting a government ban on more than 150 types of firearms, including rifles, pistols and shotguns.
Flanked by other anti-gun liberal lawmakers, including New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, Feinstein announced the introduction of the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2013.”
Here is the closest to a concrete list of banned weapons I can, to this hour, determine (click on photo to enlarge), as well as this link from Senator Feinstein:

From NBCDFW.com:
Collin County Sheriff Terry Box says he, nor his deputies, will enforce unconstitutional gun laws put in place by whom he calls misguided politicians.
In the statement, Box said the following:
In light of recent events I feel I need to make a public statement of my views on this subject. As the Sheriff of Collin County, Texas, I have for the past 28 years served to protect and keep safe all citizens of our county, recognizing the trust placed in me with this profoundly important responsibility.
Unfortunately, the recent surge in the numbers of innocent victims who have died at the hands of unstable criminals has prompted politicians in Washington to seek to pass laws that would seriously erode the constitutional rights of innocent and law abiding citizens.
Neither I, nor any of my deputies, will participate in the enforcement of laws that violate our precious constitutional rights, including our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
As long as I remain Sheriff of Collin County, I will not participate in the actions of misguided politicians who seek to impede our citizen’s right to all of the privileges afforded by our Constitution.
Respectfully,
Terry G. Box
Sheriff, Collin County Texas
Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a Sheriff to be proud of, a man who evidently values the Constitution and its Bill of Rights, and take his oath of office seriously.
