2. In the State of Connecticut in 1990, an amendment was added to the state Constitution to eliminate Sheriffs.

   1. Oh wow, I would get your fellow citizens of Connecticut to reverse that, your county Sheriff is what stands between the county residents and government tyranny. That is why Sheriffs are mentioned in the Constitution, and also why they are supposed to be elected rather than hired or appointed, and why they are the higest level of law enforcement in their county.

      It is the duty of the county Sheriff to protect the unalienable rights of everyone in the county and to refuse to enforce unconstitutional acts, statutes and actions from ANY level of government. The county Sheriff can even arrest and jail LEOs from other jurisdictions (yes, even federal and State) for violating the rights of the people in the county. Where Sheriffs are still elected (as in my county) it is so important to vet the candidates to make certain they know the power and purpose of the position and only elect those who WILL use that power for that purpose.

      Unfortunately many Sheriffs either do not know this or know but do not use the power properly. The above named Sheriffs apparently do know their power, and I hope none of them ever participated in a drug bust or ever arrested anyone for a drug “crime” because the prohibition of any ingestible substance is clearly unconstitutional without an Amendment to the Constitution. Similarly ALL consensual acts between adults and all solo acts by individuals that do not violate the rights of another are Constitutionally legal acts and any laws against them are clearly unconstitutional (prostitution, gambling, and giving or selling a body part, for a few instances — read Peter McWilliams “Ain’t Nobody’s Business if You Do: The Absurdity of Consensual Crimes in a Free Society” for a full list and read the Constitution for the full list of the very few things government is actually authorized/allowed to do).

      1. Unfortunately new england is WAY too “blue” to let a thing like the constitution stand in the way of a bad idea. Conn., like Mass., is willing to give up huge amounts of their collective paychecks as long as you tell them it’s for something you can label “equality”, whether it is, or not.

         1. To me, it is “convince me first and then I will decide if it is something that will benefit me into the future.” If I disagree…good luck!

            1. That’s a pretty utilitarian way to brush off the constitution, huh? :-\

            2. Convince you? Why? If a person is to ignorant to see what is blatantly been proven time and time again…then hell I say let them live in eternal bliss. For the sake of argument show me one place gun control has ever worked. Just one. I mean other than Chicago. /sarcasm

      2. The fact the Sheriff is the top law enforcement officer in the state was taught to us in the police academy in 1974! This has been the pecking order forever. Here in Palm Beach County the Sheriff’s Office has gradually been assuming jurisdiction from the many little towns scattered throughout the county. While the Sheriff has always had the authority in said towns, it was not the primary patrol entity until the dismantling of the municipal police after the take-overs. It is far more efficient to take over like this, and I never understood why every little town had it’s own department.

   2. One reason they did the sandy hook HOAX in Connecticut was because the fed runs the place.

4. The Lopey link is bad although he’s an Oathkeeper so I would assume he’d be on board with this. Will let you know of any other bad links I find as I am using this to contact our sheriffs.

   Everyone needs to write to their county sheriff to ask them what their positions are on this!

   Reply

   1. I would just love entering the County of Orange (CA) Sheriff’s Department and ask where they stand on Obama’s “Gun Control”. I think I would be escorted out faster than I would get a ticket for turning right on a red light!

      Reply

      1. People in each state need to draft a letter to all their county sheriffs … to ask where they stand. Would be good to know when and if the SHTF ya know?

5. Saw some updates on FB but trying to get everyone to contribute to the list here… as you seem to have a good start on it! Don’t forget Richard Mack and Arapaio! 🙂

   1. Mack is no longer a Sheriff…Arpaio is on the list.

6. I could be mistaken but I think sheriff Joe down here and Phoenix should be on the list aswell. I can not find the link but I believe he said he would protect the rights of Maricopa county citizens.

13. I’m proud to be an American today. I am concerned for the lives of these brave men. If I were one of these sheriffs I would be as publicly vocal as possible. Be out in the forefront as much as possible to guard against being ‘suicided’. Make no mistake, they are risking their lives. God Bless you in this fight.

18. Wash.Co.Sheriff Pat Garrett:He said: “A good example of our system at work is the Supreme Court decision in Printz v. United States. That case tested federal statute that required local officials to carry out portions of federal law under the Brady Bill. In this case the Court found that the federal government may not constitutionally require local officials to enforce federal law and the court held that the statute was unconstitutional.”

19. I am so glad to see some sheriffs’ are standing up against gun control. In Florida, where are our sheriffs’? It seems as if we are greatly lacking in having any sheriffs’ brave enough to take a publicly stand to protect our 2nd Amendment Rights. Florida Sheriffs, you were elected to office to serve and protect us and if necessary forcefully defend the 2nd Amendment. We need to hear from you now, your voice, before defending our freedoms become bloody. Gun Control is not People Control.

    So forced them to give you the answer. IT IS YOUR RIGHTS!!!
    here is my letter:

23. Has anyone else heard of Oath Keepers?

    Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, veterans, peace officers, and firefighters who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.

    Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and we will not obey unconstitutional (and thus illegal) and immoral orders, such as orders to disarm the American people or to place them under martial law and deprive them of their ancient right to jury trial.

    We Oath Keepers have drawn a line in the sand. We will not “just follow orders.”

    Our motto is “Not on our watch!”

    Reply

    1. Yes any sheriff that belongs to Oathkeepers would automatically be on this list.

       One request… when posting things like ‘How about sheriff in X county’ please note whether you have searched for it or not and if you have a link.. otherwise makes us think there is one.

       If you do have a sheriff that has pledged not to violate the constitution please post the link that shows the quote or some other proof of it.

       THANKS.

24. Doesn’t surprise me that Williamson county, TX is not on the list. Them police are like the gestapo.

We can protect ourselves.

There is nothing in the 2nd Amendment that states it’s for hunting, so why do the Politician keep saying the 2nd Amendment is all about hunting and guns are all about the same. I don’t hunt and I have GUNS for my Safety. Plus GUNS don’t kill PEOPLE kill it’s like saying Knives Kill or Cars Kill So lets BAN them. Sounds pretty stupid does it so why ban guns.

66. This is the official response received in written form by a Mohave County (AZ) resident who inquired as to Sheriff Sheahan’s 2A stance vis-à-vis the latest EO’s and legislative proposals coming from Washington:

    “The Sheriff believes in the Second Amendment as it was written and its intent.”

    “The Sheriff does not and will never support any legislation that attempts to restrict magazine capacity and does not support any type of ‘assault weapon’ ban.”

    “Additionally he will not support any unlawful confiscation of firearms from law abiding citizens which violates the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Sheriff is a firm believer in the stance taken by the National Rifle Association (NRA).”

    From an article in the Kingman (AZ) Daily Miner:

    “I believe in the 2nd Amendment,” said Mohave County Sheriff Tom Sheahan. “I do not support an ‘assault weapons’ ban or restrictions on ammunition.” Sheahan sees those segments of Obama’s proposals as an infringement on people’s rights.

    As for the other aspects of Obama’s gun-safety ideas, Sheahan said most don’t have much of an effect, and he would rather see local entities coming up with plans. “The less involvement from federal government locally, the better we are,” he said. “We know how to deal with our problems best.”

67. So a maine sheriff is standing up for our rights.I sent an email to the Kennebec county sheriff here in maine and this is the email he sent me.

    Tracey,

    It is good to hear from you, thank you for reaching out. I am a strong advocate for the Second Amendment, and my defense of it has already begun at the Legislature. Last week I headed a group of ten firearms instructors in the teaching of firearms to 45 Legislators. Our emphasis was that the real issue with these incidents that have occurred are the result of mental illness.

    I will continue my legislative fight, and the defense of our constitutional rights.

    Sincerely,

    Sheriff Liberty

    The WC Sheriff is in bed with Gary Locke under a deliquent ten years more than just late coming scheme to implement a plantation slave inmate labor ranch jail system in WA County.

    The full while the old jail he promised to replace when he ran for WC Sheriff in 2003 is not and has not been replaced and they have not even broken ground yet yet they are seriosuly scrambolng to right at this very minute that their money scheme might be carried out.

    He, the WA State Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo has been straight kniving the full way for 10 years with NOTHING whatsoever having been accomplished all for a jail scheme at the expense of the Consitutional rights of inmates kept under his watch in the most pitiful sourly subtandardly deplorable excuses of a decrepit jail going.

    It is not good to be kept there no matter who it might be, your son your neighbors boy it does not matter, it is a prosecutor favorable confine it is a vice grip of leverage and sway and you will come out in worse condition than when you went in everytime.

    Beware of him, Sheriff Elfo, if’ for any reason he comes snowing around and about.

    He’s no good and he’s in bed with Federal money, there is no 10Th amendment let alone any 2nd amendment whatsoever about him he bows to whatever it takes for his reach of cash scheme at the full cost of Whatcom County’s true jail needs.

72. Was an AK-47 rifle used in the elementary school shooting that left 20 children and 6 adults dead, the rumor is circulating that an AK-47 was not used in the shooting only hand guns were used.

    Can any’ 1 please verify fact for the matter, was an AK-47 used in that shooting? -Just a question, anyone?

    I appreciate every Sheriff herein the listing having taken a stand on behalf of the US Constitution while on behalf of the constituents of the Counties they serve.

    It’s about time something got checked.

    Please take note Sheriff’s, next time you build a County jail please install an ACA, American Corrections Association, County jail in your counties.

    It be the best thing you could possibly do for your county constituents. This is not an advertisement pitch. It’s straight serious.

    Please view this link to see why through reading the immediate statement to hit the screen upon clicking the link, //gpennsheriff.com/Jail/.

    I do not know if the Sheriff maintaining this jail stands in support of the cause of objective for this page. It wouldn’t surprise me if’ he did. Holloway would have.

    I’d like to give you a heads up on corruption and a WA State Whatcom County Sheriff.

    If you happen to see or hear rumor of any’ thing involving Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo please immediately refer to the manager of a Facebook page titled “Boot Bill Elfo” with regards to the substance of ethics and the man. His internal affairs chief furnished alcohol to a 19 year old Sheriff’ Dept Explorer girl.

    There’s an adobe link, I’ll hope to locate it and submit it later. He’s busted, but not so long as he’s Internal Affairs Chief under Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo.

    Becoming Internal Affairs chief following two promotions the first three months after his Superior Court conviction and Sheriff Dept slap wrist discipline.

    The Whatcom County Sheriff is in bed with a guy named Marvinn Wolfe to whom Sheriff Bill Elfo answers and Marvin Wolfe is connected to Gary Locke, at least from what I had read of it.

    It’s about a deliquent ten years more than just late coming scheme to implement an essential harvest of free inmate labor or some lost cause for idea like it.

    Whatcom County Sheriff Elfo went to Washington DC to beg Federal money in about July 2007 claiming that because Whatcom County was a border county
    they needed a special amount of Federal money for a special new jail system yet the county being a border county has no impact existing such as he claimed in 2007.

    2013 it’s still not built ground is not even located let alone broken.

    The full while the old jail sheriff Elfo promised to replace when he ran for the Whatcom County Sheriff’s seat in 2003, it is not replaced yet they are seriosuly scrambling right at this very minute that a maximum money scheme might be come to fruition.

    Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo has been straight kniving the full way for 10 years with NOTHING whatsoever having been accomplished, all for a new jail already most desperately need in 2003 that’s never happened the full while the one still remaining is no bettee than living in your own filth in certain cells of the jail.

    Airvents are non properly working and there’s more than I might go into right at this moment, take my word I’ve encountered it first hand for myself.

    All at the expense of the Consitutional rights of inmates kept under sheriff Elfo’s watch in the most pitiful sourly substandardly deplorable excuse for a jail going to continue to exist. The built in 1983 Whatcom County jail, it is’ long passed gone foul no joke’ .

    It is not good to be kept there no matter who it might be, your son your neighbor’s boy even your daughter it does not matter it could happen you just never know, it is a sheer prosecutor favorable confine it is a vice grip of sheer leverage and force and sway and it is very packed most unhygienic and it is a jail anyone and everyone comes out of in worse condition than when they had entered.

    To be honest it’s enough to all but be up in arms about, it is chaos even for the jail deputies who run it. Non properly working airvents and worse I’ve experienced it first hand and the women in that slum hole dive have it far worse than the majority of the male inmates.

    Beware or be advised of him, Sheriff Elfo, if’ for any reason he comes snowing around or otherwise blowing about.

    He’s no good, he’s in bed with Federal money. There is no 10Th amendment let alone any 2nd amendment whatsoever about him he bows to whatever it takes for an under reach of cash while at the full cost of Whatcom County’s true jail needs the deliquence ever continues.

    Never mind federal mandates for cash, eh? Thanks for the support of the 2nd amendment skipping the idea of sheer Federalized sheriffs.

    Reply

    1. Actually, the long rifle that was locked in the trunk of the car was not a Bushmaster AR-15, but a shotgun. There was never any AR-15 type rifle involved… it was all a hoax… the federal government’s agenda to disarm the American public. Adam Lanza was reported to have 2 handguns with him initially, but it was actually 4 handguns, and as soon as he emptied one, he went to the next. That’s how he was able to inflict such damage in a short period of time. However, it wasn’t at Sandy Hook Elementary, but at St. Rose of Lima, a private school also located in Newtown, CT. The video seen on 12/14/12 was actually taped at a drill on 12/10/12 at St. Rose of Lima. It was all a ploy, a hoax on the American public… again.

             1. Yeah, like “lawsuit” has ever deterred anyone from posting things on the web. Wake up, this is the age of piracy and anonymity. 4chan is a board “with no memory”, and if you don’t tell who you are, you’re long since gone, in 15 minutes. It’s not MY selfishness on the board, it’s the known selfishness of millions of people, and the idea that a school full of people, with cameras everywhere, INCLUDING on every phone in the place, and nothing has surfaced. Newly turned graves? Well, that shows me dirt. Can’t imagine where I could see dirt, if you hadn’t told me to go look there, right? A purported dad goes to a press conference and laughs, and jokes with people until the cameras come on, then hyperventilates, and looks grave, while the cameras that he’s aware of are rolling…
                Seen these yet?

             2. “Yeah, like “lawsuit” has ever deterred anyone from posting things on the web”. <- Oh snap, the lawsuit comes after the violation has first arrived oh snap' and snap' snap' snap' the cash arrives in full tote the lawsuit the trailor. It wasn't exactly what I had been directly meaning if you might happen to see past this much alone, and just what would the lawsuit stand for and come for 'next?

                "Wake up, this is the age of piracy and anonymity. 4chan is a board “with no memory”, and if you don’t tell who you are, you’re long since gone, in 15 minutes". Eh? Not sure I catch what your quite asking or expecting there?

                "It’s not MY selfishness on the board, it’s the known selfishness of millions of people, and the idea that a school full of people, with cameras everywhere, INCLUDING on every phone in the place, and nothing has surfaced". <- It's not a unmet feat to have seen to it that no footage or snap' shot would surface, as is does near frequently always'. So' who wouldn't have thought ahead and how sure are you the people on the scene as it happened would have been ready thinking of cameras to be onto auto dig into the pockets, we're talking this kind of disaster in progress and people are on auto reach for their freaking cell phone like people don't reach for it enough as it is?Sharp LE or rather people inclined by instinct for the sake of their lost ones under such circumstance, I could see it being kept from getting out for a full oggling glare of the world. Kinna ruse rude to think like that if ya ask me to look past the kinna dirt you are referencing.

                "Newly turned graves? Well, that shows me dirt. Can’t imagine where I could see dirt, if you hadn’t told me to go look there, right? Sure, a cemtary full of towns folk general area people with lost ones buried, people who visited graves and happened to when the funerals had happened". <- Yeah, dirt. They won't leave a grave with coffin unfilled for mere proof of any world doubter on assume general public full time display.

                "A purported dad goes to a press conference and laughs, and jokes with people until the cameras come on, then hyperventilates, and looks grave, while the cameras that he’s aware of are rolling…
                Seen these yet"? <- No, I haven't seen those yet. You have the link of the whole set? Are you sure of when and how it was posted if it was real or if' it staged part in full? Post it right here and show me the full proof is on set with the full footgae and that it was aired same as you state the scene of the school shooting to have been staged for a shooting that did not happen. Thanx.

             3. Ok, Mr. Maher… did you see any of the caskets at the funerals? If you did, can you tell me if they were open caskets, or closed caskets? If they were closed, how do you know if there were any bodies in any of them? Sure, the funerals may be real, so that the world could see them, but were there any bodies that anyone could see? No one has seen them, not even the parents of the children that were supposedly killed. Funny, too, little Miss Emily Parker? No one remembers her being at that school, nor is she on any of the school records. But, hey, there’s a photo op of her “family” with Obama the next day, when he showed up for his photo opportunity, and guess what? The dead girl that was supposed to be at the coroner’s for an autopsy, and subsequent release to the mortuary for preparation for her “fake” funeral… she’s alive and well and taking part in the president’s photo op. How do you explain that misnomer?

             4. @ Willy (as in ‘Slick Willy’) Maher:

                “There would have been lawsuits by grieving families, sorry. None of it was for the web or public view an after three times I mean like I could almost say kiss off oop I just did.”

                Would that be those actors posing as “grieving families” you’re referring to, clownboy?

                “I saw familes children included making attendances of funerals on the spot right after.”

                What you was an ACT, bozo. You saw it on the TELEVISION, so it MUST be true, right? Get your head out of the idiot box (or your @ss, whichever place it’s currently located) and try reading the actual facts of this false flag op on the internet, which is the ONLY place the truth is still to be found anymore.

                ” Go visit the graves, they should still be with broken fresh turf and fresh flowers about new tombstones with dates and such to affirm.”

                So you’re saying that if I go out and dig a hole in my backyard, take a dump in it, and cover it up, throw some flowers on it, and then tell you it’s a grave, that you’re gullible enough to fall for it? If that’s the case, I’ve got TWO bridges AND some prime swampland I’d be willing to sell you REAL cheap.

                “Body bags of children being pulled out and the like, I could see a county Sheriff clearing all of that media literal paparazzi out of the area.”

                You freaking moron, the ‘alleged’ bodies of the ‘alleged’ victims were ALL removed (allegedly) in the dead of night, ACCORDING to the MSM, so how can you claim to know this to be a fact? Are you psychic?

                “Apparantly there was a mass murder. I saw pictures of familes with children going to the funerals and they looked REAL.”

                I saw pictures of the Loch Ness Monster AND Bigfoot, and damn, they sure looked REAL too!

                You’re either one of those brain-dead sheeple that believes EVERYTHING they see on TELEVISION, OR you’re working for the so-called ‘government (my first choice), so go do your TROLLING at some other site.

80. Apparently Whatcom County Sheriff’s Dept Internal Affairs Cheif Steve Cooley became obsessed with a Sheriff dept (19 year old) Explorer (prospect) girl. A girl named Kristen. A girl who later joined the military.

    WCSD Steve Cooley furnished Kristen with alcohol several times and with it there are some stories to be told like when it came to passing out on one glass of wine. Mr: Cooley was convicted of furnishing Sheriff Dept Explorer Kristen with alcohol, http://www.scribd.com/collections/2889587/Whatcom-County-Sheriff-s-Office-Corruption

    .

    Three months later Bill Elfo gives him a first promotion award the first of two with the 2nd making him the highest ranking highest paid sheriff deputy in the dept. A pervert.

    You might also like to go to a FB likes page, “Boot Bill Elfo”.
    Be sure to like the page.

    Yes, the built in 1983 Whatcom County sourly substandard deplorable non hygienic over packed sheer slum dive jail is a most real issue with Bill Elfo elected on his promise of building a replacement jail in 2003, sheriff Bill Elfo.

    It’s been ten years. He is scheming to harvest inmate labor. He does not know what he is doing, he is schemed out beyond of his own mind and the jail simply never got built and they are still angling a full cash max milk scheme for one to be built.

    Whatcom County sheriff Bill Elfo answers to Marvin Wolfe and Marvin Wolfe answers to Ex WA State Govenor Gary Locke who answers to Obama who answers to the NWO.

    Elfo has been to WA DC to beg Federal money and on and on that over ten years yet they haven’t even broken ground.

    I believe ex Whatcom County Exec Pete Kremen and Bill Elfo are up for a class action cash suit.

81. Does anyone know if there are any other sherif listing websites listing such as this one?

    By the way, there was a Whatcom County Lynden city six police officer shooting of a 23 year old hispanic who suffered from a mental health illness.

    His dad called the city of Lynden police in order for them to take his 23 year old son to the mental health ward, it wasn’t a first time.

    The city of Lynden LPD arrived and immediately shot the 23 year old hispanic male to death in front of his father and 1 other family member, a brother, “had to hide under a pick up truck” because he “believed he too would have been shot by the LPD”.

    The Lynden police department shooting death murder only requires a proper investigation by the Whatcom County sheriff, Bill Elfo.

    Bill Elfo refuses to adhere to his responsibilty for the Whatcom County constituents, “he refuses a proper sheriff’s investigation” yet it was stone cold murder.

    The murdered man’s family are up in arms but because Whatcom County sheriff Bill Elfo arrests to rest on the buck lies with him and under his internal affairs chief all things sealed by he, nothing is done the man is murdered by multiple shooting LPD officers and nothing’ has arisen through investigation other than to let the LPD clean off of the hook.

    There is more than just this. Bill Elfo be prime reason wny gun control should be adhered to for LE agencies also. If the sheriff can clean get away with this and other then I am afraid that LE needs to be disarmed of weapons entirely otherwise, as it is not, instances like these need resolved that they are not covered up by crooked corrupt IE incompetent sheriffs.

    Bill Elfo is a risk to all ethical good sheriffs. Be well aware of the man. It is in your own and that of the constituents of your own counties better interest that nothing can be found in order to begin hack away at the position and holding of power for the sheriff of any county all across the US.

    He is most certainly a rotten apple by all terms of the word of a over barrel.

    Good looking out, please take good care.

    >>Utah Invokes Eminent Domain Against the Federal Government<<
    By Elie Mystal
    This is the kind of story that sounds unbelievable — until you realize that it’s dealing with the people who run Utah. The WSJ Law Blog reports:

    Utah Governor Gary Herbert on Saturday authorized the use of eminent domain to take some of the U.S. government’s most valuable parcels.
    A state is invoking the Takings Clause against the federal government? This reminds me of the time I came home and my dog told me to get off the couch. Sure, I was surprised that my dog was (a) talking and (b) ordering me off my own property. And so I resolved, right then and there, to never drop acid again.

    Unfortunately, I don’t know what the hell Utah lawmakers are smoking …

    I’m going to put some kind of latex protection around my brain before I get down into the muck and deal with Utah’s argument. I suggest you do the same. The Salt Lake Tribune reports:

    The goal is to incite a court battle that they believe they can win at the Supreme Court giving Utah the right to develop the disputed land and generate some $50 billion for the state’s public schools.

    “This is the solution to being the lowest-funded education system in the nation,” said Rep. Ken Sumsion, R-American Fork.

    Sumsion and Rep. Chris Herrod, R-Provo, argue the federal government has an obligation through the U.S. Constitution and Utah’s statehood act, to sell off federal land and provide 5 percent of the money to the state, but hasn’t followed through.

    Lawmakers have complained for years that the federal land ownership in the state limits property taxes and development, hurting the state’s ability to fund its schools. But they have been unable to move the federal government on the issue.

    Sumsion said this is a more direct shot.

    “We’re going to eminent domain it and say this is a down payment for the 5 percent you owe us and we’re going to court over that issue,” he said.
    So, the Utah strategy is to blackmail the federal government by stealing land it feels belongs to them? I’m sorry, wasn’t this exactly what O.J. tried to do?

    Utah says that it is doing this because it wants more money to fund education. So where do you think the money is going to come from to litigate Utah’s takings claim?

    Legislation would direct the attorney general’s office to pursue the litigation and the lawmakers want $3 million from the school trust fund to bankroll the lawsuit.
    Yes, let’s take $3 million from education to fund a frivolous lawsuit we’re starting to get more money for education. What could possibly go wrong?

    Of course, it’s possible that the legal fees the state plans to spend won’t be necessary:

    But if the law is as bad as Democrats say it is, a court will quickly overturn it and the state won’t have to spend much money defending it, Herbert said.
    Wow. Okay, so the Utah Governor thinks that it won’t cost the state very much money to defend this law that is ridiculous on its face because it is prima facie ridiculous. Unless it’s not totally ridiculous, in which case the state will spend $3 million out of its education fund, until the Supreme Court tells them that they can’t generate money for education by blackmailing the federal government. But the state is only trying this … for the children.

    Utah baby, where logic goes to die.

101. If your County Sheriff hasn’t made a public declaration, contact them & ask them to join these brave souls!

     Also, there’s an interactive map showing the current status of this phenomenon. Counties whose Sheriffs declared noncompliance are in red, counties where other action is occurring are in yellow.

        1. Thanks! I originally wanted to just show the extent of the phenomenon, but it turned out much better than I thought. I can paste URL’s, pics, videos, etc – make a “story” bound to the geographical area.

           The map data source is the official USGIS + 2010 Census results, so I have a TON of data not even showing – age brackets, income, races, % farmland, etc. It’s like 200 extra columns, but I’m keeping them just in case anyone would need to cross-compare this phenomenon to, let’s say, average age in county, or median income.

           Also, today I just found a way to export specific columns, so now I have a “Master List” of ALL 3,141 counties 🙂

           Master Counties List (3,141, in pages of 100) – Google Fusion Tables + USGIS

           BTW, if whoever is curating this site – or anyone else working on a similar project – wants access to this data, or a copy of it, or w/e, I’d love to share.

106. San Diego Police Chief:

     >”WE CAN DISARM Americans WITHIN A GENERATION”<

     Lansdowne has gone on record saying: “I could not be more supportive of the president for taking the position he has. I think it’s courageous with the politics involved in this process. [And] I think it’s going to eventually make the country safer.”

     He made it clear that it may take “a generation,” but new laws could eventually …take all guns off the streets.

     This is quite a departure from other law enforcement personnel we’ve seen around the country–particularly Sheriffs–who’ve come out firmly against any infringement on the 2nd Amendment. We’ve cheered those officials for standing with the people, and now Lansdowne has taken a position completely opposite them.

     Moreover, Lansdowne has also been slamming the NRA in interviews. And he seems overtly thrilled at the money the NRA is being forced to spend to get their message out in the wake of the crime at Sandy Hook Elementary. “We broke the NRA,” says Lansdowne.

     Breitbart News contacted Lansdowne’s office about these statements but received no comment

     >JOURNALIST ACCOSTED BY SECURTY OVER MAYOR BLLOMBERG GUN CONTROL QUESTION<

     by Wynton Hall 28 Jan 2013

     In an explosive exchange outside the U.S. Conference of M…ayors meeting

     in Washington, D.C., security guards for billionaire New York City Mayor

     Michael Bloomberg accosted senior Talk Radio Network investigative

     reporter Jason Mattera when he asked the mayor about his strong support

     for gun control.

     Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCC-rEx81PE&feature=player_embedded#at=48

     In the video, Bloomberg is seen surrounded by security. Mattera approaches

     Bloomberg and asks, “In the spirit of gun control, will you disarm your entire

     security team?”

     Bloomberg’s reply: “Uh, you, we’ll get right back to you.”

     “Why can you defend yourself but not the majority of Americans?” Mattera

     asks as the mayor walks away. “Look at the team of security you’ve got. And

     you’re an advocate for gun control?”

     The video then cuts to Mattera walking further down the street when one of

     the men guarding Bloomberg, identified as Officer Stockton NYPD, stops

     Mattera and asks to see his photo ID.

     Mattera complies before asking, “Is this standard procedure for the press?

     Wait, wait, wait, it’s standard procedure to be questioning members of the

     press?

     The officer reaches inside his jacket and grabs a pen, as if to write down the

     journalist’s name. “You’re going to write it down now?” asks Mattera. “Oh, no,

     sorry,” says Officer Stockton.

     The video then cuts to a scene further down the street where Officer

     Stockton, trailing Mattera once again, can be heard saying, “Mr. Mattera,

     sir? Do you have a date of birth?”

     “It’s none of your business what my date of birth is,” Mattera replies.

     Mattera’s Jan. 18th on-the-street interview, done in conjunction with Talk

     Radio Network’s “The Andrea Tantaros Show,” is not the first time Mattera

     has received brusque treatment for asking liberal politicians tough questions.

     The two-time New York Times bestselling author’s past on-the-street

     interviews have created viral video Internet sensations. In 2011, Vice

     President Joe Biden warned Mattera “Let’s get it straight, guy–don’t screw

     around with me” when he confronted Biden about his use of a rape reference

     when discussing Republican opposition to President Barack

     Obama’s “jobs” bill.

     The Washington Post calls Bloomberg “America’s most prominent and

     deep-pocketed advocate for gun control.”

109. > >VIRGINIA APPROVES BILL TO UNDERMINE OBAMA GUN CONTROL< <

     Steve Watson Jan 28, 2013

     The Virginia House of Delegates approved a bill Friday that would see state

     agencies and employees forbidden from helping to enforce Federal gun

     control measures in the state.

     The Virginian-Pilot reports that the Militia, Police, and Public Safety

     Committee of the House approved House Bill 2340, which will now proceed

     to a vote on the House floor.

     The measure’s official summary states that the bill would “Prevent any

     agency, political subdivision, or employee of Virginia from assisting the

     Federal government of the United States in any investigation, prosecution,

     detention, arrest, search, or seizure, under the authority of any federal statute

     enacted, or Executive Order or regulation issued, after December 31, 2012,

     infringing the individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms by imposing new

     restrictions on private ownership or private transfer of firearms, firearm

     magazines, ammunition, or components thereof.”

     Republican state delegate Todd Gilbert told the Pilot that the bill will ensure

     that “no employee of the commonwealth or any of its political subdivisions

     should help the federal government tread upon our long-held belief that

     Second Amendment rights are highly individualized and very important.”

     The legislation was introduced by Del. Bob Marshall, R-Prince William

     County, and was approved by the Republican-controlled Delegates’

     Committee by 15-7 votes, following a short debate.

     “This is really an assault on second amendment rights and it has nothing to

     do with gun safety,” Marshall said in regards to the federal legislation.

     Another measure introduced by Marshall, now under review, would also

     allow teachers or others to be trained and carry a concealed weapon in

     public schools. Under current law schools in the state are currently

     designated gun free zones.

     Though gun owners see these moves as positive, some have warned that

     the legislation is merely posturing and does not constitute any real

     opposition to the federal gun control proposals.

     “If we don’t put some teeth into it, it’ll be useless,” Mike McHugh of the

     Virginia Gun Owners Coalition told the committee. “I think we’re coming to a

     point in this country where the states are going to have to finally decide –

     and I hope it doesn’t end up like years ago – that we’re going to have to face

     down Barack Obama’s federal plantation.”

     The bill also does not include any mention of what punishments would be

     handed out to any state or local employees who did enforce federal

     measures.

     Obama is pushing for universal background checks for all private gun sales,

     as well as the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban. However, the

     measures are expected to be defeated in the U.S. Senate.

     The president outlined 23 gun control executive orders earlier this month.

     Virginia is one of the states that has seen an exponential surge in gun sales

     following the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre and the resulting

     Obama push for draconian gun control laws.

     In the days immediately following the Newtown shooting, gun dealers

     requested nearly 5,150 background checks on purchasers in Virginia. That

     figure amounted to the largest number ever in a single day, according to

     Virginia State Police.

     Since that time, the number of background checks requested per day has

     frequently been double 2012 figures.

     Virginia law allows anyone who is 18+ to carry a firearm openly. Anyone over

     21 can apply for a concealed carry permit.

     Several other states including Wyoming, Texas, Mississippi, and Tennessee

     have already introduced legislation to make it illegal for local and state

     police to enforce federal gun control measures.

110. MOTHER HOME ALONE WITH 6-YEAR OLD CHILD STOPS THREE BURGLARS WITH PISTOL

     A 33-year old mother took matters into her own hands when three men broke

     into her house in Magnolia, TX on Friday night while she and her 6-year old

     child were home alone.

     The mother grabbed her pistol, and when the men found her she had the gun

     pointed at them. She shot at them, causing them to flee the house. She

     thinks she hit one of the intruders.

     The police are investigating, and if anyone has any information they are

     asked to call Montgomery County Crime Stoppers at 800-392-STOP

     (7867), the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at 936-760-5800 (24 hrs) or

     Detectives S. Mullis or P. Hahs at 936-760-5876.

     … This story is similar to another incident in Georgia in which a mother used

     her revolver to save herself and her 9-year old twins from an intruder.

     Also, Lewis & Clark County is on here, but not on their list (although Sheriff Leo Dutton has confirmed in writing that he will not enforce any infringement of the 2nd Amendment)… http://www.kbzk.com/news/cascade-county-sheriff-weighs-in-on-gun-debate/

     Also, you have Cascade County Sheriff Bob Edwards. He has been elusive in his answers, he has NOT declared publicly that he will resist direct orders that violate 2nd Amendment rights, he has merely stated that he doesn’t agree with anything that violates said rights and that he does not support confiscation of any weapon…but he did NOT say he would not do it. At least not to the media. I would check up on that information if I were you. (That information is found in the article found in the link above).

Remove the mouth from suckling the Federal teet, pull the plug on Federal funding, then we will see all these sheriffs grovel and kiss up and take a different stance. The problem with Sheriffs are allot of the time they answer to no one and have far too much power. They can literally get away with murder. Just look at Sheriff Joe Arpaio as a classic example of someone with too much power. This guy writes his own rules, goes completely unchecked and bullies and intimidates everyone and anyone who ever tries to run against him for office.

     1. I don’t think you get what really happens. When the federal government provides “funding”, say, a set of money for road-construction, they have a list of “requirements” that the state must meet to receive it. To get a dollar worth of road cash, there are $1.60 in requirements. Tell me how the state is WORSE off not paying $1.60 for every dollar they needed to spend? It’s similar in other respects, healthcare for example… Doctors still send a bill, they don’t work for free. Where do you see the downside in throwing off the extra federal level of red tape?

137. I regrettably don’t see any of Tennessee’s 95 sheriffs on that list. I’ve always thought we was the “volunteer” state. Are we really the “stand back” state with so many sheriffs lacking constitutional knowledge ?

     Come sheriffs, get off your behinds and get on the list.
